Emoções negativas afetam a expressão genética from "summary" of DNA revelado das emoções by Elainne Ourives
Negative emotions have a powerful impact on our bodies, even at a genetic level. When we experience emotions such as fear, anger, or sadness, our bodies release stress hormones that can affect the expression of our genes. This means that the way our genes function can be influenced by the emotions we feel. Research has shown that negative emotions can turn on or off certain genes, leading to changes in our physical and emotional well-being. For example, chronic stress caused by negative emotions can trigger the expression of genes associated with inflammation, which can lead to a variety of health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Furthermore, negative emotions can also affect the way our brains function, altering the connections between neurons and impacting our cognitive abilities. This can result in difficulties with memory, concentration, and decision-making, as well as an increased risk of mental health disorders.- Meditation, and other stress-reducing techniques, we can help regulate our emotions and minimize their negative effects on our genes and overall well-being. Ultimately, understanding the connection between emotions and gene expression can empower us to take control of our health and happiness.
