Loneliness can put our body in deadly danger

There is nothing good or positive in solitude, not only psychics, but also the entire organism suffers, claims American scientists.

A recent study reveals that loneliness can put our body in mortal danger.

Researchers from the University of Chicago have discovered that loneliness can cause a lack of immunity as well as a number of serious disorders. To understand the effects of isolation on the human body, scientists subjected a group of men and women over 50 years of age to a series of tests.

Among the participants in the experiment were those who felt very lonely “”, while others considered themselves surrounded by friends and relatives. As is common, the mystery has been solved in the field of genetics: Researchers have found that certain genes (related to the immune system) are far more active in people who suffer from isolation.

This excessive activity negatively affects the functioning of the immune system, which accelerates inflammatory processes, which, in turn, can cause various pathologies, mainly cardiovascular. From this, experts concluded that poor operation of the immune system could lead to death.
