A brief mindfulness intervention, integrative body-mind training (IBMT), significantly enhances metabolic profiles, promoting physical and mental health. In a trial with 42 participants, IBMT led to notable increases in glycine derivatives and phosphatidylcholine, while relaxation training showed no significant effects. Specific metabolic pathways related to amino acid and lipid metabolism, including sphingolipid and α-linolenic acid metabolism, were altered after IBMT. These results underscore the potential of mindfulness practices to influence health through metabolic regulation, paving the way for future health promotion strategies.
