The deep relaxation brought about by meditation initiates positive changes in the depths of our psychophysical existence. In a newly published (September 2013) research report, a group of psychologists from the United States, France and Spain said that in addition to achieving mental stability and calmness, meditation also produces some significant changes in our genetic expression.
How does meditation work in our genes?
Meditation can suppress the genes responsible for increased emotional arousal. Dr. Barcelona’s Institute of Biomedical Research led the research activity. Perla Caliman. He said, we observed some changes in certain genes under the influence of meditation. Anti-inflammatory drugs were previously used to target such changes, but we now hope that meditation can provide a lasting solution. In addition, after an important study conducted at the Massachusetts Hospital in the United States, geneticists say that continuous stress day after day causes some unwanted reactions in human genes, meditation and relaxation can relieve the body and mind of stress as well as compensate for that genetic damage.
‘Relaxation Response’
Scientists call this psychophysical change the ‘relaxation response’. As can be seen, those who regularly relax and practice healthy lifestyles have lower rates of hypertension. And in those who take high blood pressure medicine, the amount of medicine gradually decreases. According to researchers, the effect of relaxation on the genes is so great that those who create a tension-free state of relaxation in the mind and body through meditation become increasingly energized and stronger. So geneticists are now starting to think of it as one of the ways to beat cancer.
What is the way to improve the genes of the body?
In turn, harmful lifestyle factors such as smoking, overeating, etc. affect the epigenome, which activates the genes responsible for obesity and weakens the genes responsible for longevity. And on the other hand, scientists have found evidence that many incurable diseases including cancer, schizophrenia, autism, Alzheimer’s, diabetes can be prevented by affecting genes through epigenome.
A research paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience in February 2009 states that complex organs such as the brain can be influenced through advanced genetics. This is possible through a positive environment, exercise, increased focus (meditation) and awareness. By using it, even people suffering from memory impairment can be made to have a sharp memory. After knowing the issues, the scientific community is now feeling nervously excited.
A glimmer of hope in genetics
The days of assuming or taking for granted that the information contained in your genetic code will be exactly who you are for years may be over. Geneticists gave us much research into the genetic code. Also, recently after extensive research on the way genes work. The effects of genes on human behavior. Darwin’s theory says that it takes several generations for evolution. When you need any type of change in the human genetic code to occur some new thing.
Sometimes it is up to hundreds of thousands of years. your genetic code will be exactly who you are for years may be over. Geneticists gave us much research into the genetic code. Also, recently after extensive research on the way genes work. The effects of genes on human behavior. But by analyzing the results of long studies in advanced genetics (epigenetics), scientists say that genes can be influenced by a strong environmental regulator in such a way that genetic changes are possible in just one generation.
So higher genetics is considered a trump card against Darwinism. According to geneticists, the most important scientific discovery since the beginning of the study of genes is epigenetics or advanced genetics. generations for evolution. When you need any type of change in the human genetic code.
How is advanced genetics developed?
In this way, an entity finer than the genes, the epigenome (which is what this higher genetics or epigenetics is about) affects the genes, controlling the functions of the genes. That is, the gene is affected by the epigenome. And the epigenome is influenced by our eating habits, mood patterns and prenatal nutrition, the researchers say. From this, scientists believe that genes are hardware and the epigenome is software. That is, through the epigenome, it is possible to influence genes to work as desired. Again this epigenome is influenced mainly by lifestyle and environment. According to researchers, this change is permanent.
The epigenome
The normal process of cell division in the human body (1 to 2, 2 to 4, …)
Special report published in Reader’s Digest (January 2010): Relaxation Changes Genes. Directed by the epigenome. And the epigenome of the cell determines how the body cells will function. There are a total of 210 types of cells in the body.The remarkable information that scientists have obtained through advanced genetics is that maternal stress during pregnancy can cause asthma in children in adulthood. Most of the behavioral influence of the mother during the pregnancy.
This has an impact on the child. Our likes and dislikes and thought patterns affect our memory. Geneticists have so far been able to map the epigenomes of a total of two cell types. Scientists are now explaining the mysterious scientific theories that cannot be explained with conventional genetics through advanced genetics. For example, if one of the twins is healthy, why does the other suffer from mental illness or asthma? Also why autism is more common in boys than girls or how diet affects longevity.
Conclusion!
The remarkable information that scientists have obtained through advanced genetics is that maternal stress during pregnancy can cause asthma in children in adulthood. Most of the behavioral influence of the mother during the pregnancy. This has an impact on the child. Our likes and dislikes and thought patterns affect our memory. For those who overeat, their next two generations can have life expectancy reduced at an alarming rate – on average at least six years, sometimes as much as 32 years. There are a total of 210 types of cells in the body. Geneticists have so far been able to map the epigenomes of a total of two cell types. Scientists are now explaining the mysterious scientific theories that cannot be explained with conventional genetics through advanced genetics.
