On my internet wandering, i found something to important to not tell everyone. As it was researched in Shamatha Study, a longitudinal research about different meditation techniques, mostly based on the Buddhist tradition, one side note made me look for more. Intensive 3 months retreat and meditation had a fascinating effect. What was that, you will ask? They discovered that meditating longer periods every day, resulted in a 39% increase in telomerase activity, telomeres being that DNA protein complexes related to ageing. So, to say it bluntly, meditation will slow the ageing process, or even stop it, if it is done for longer periods of time. Of course, meditation alone will do a lot to help, but you can also increase your chances with a regular sleeping pattern and a healthy diet. You may not realise, but 39% is huge, it is like adding 33 years to a normal 85 years lifespan. What can you do with all this time? I let you dream for a while.
After that you can check the other post i just did with samples of guided meditation.
Good luck!
