Jealousy has a neurobiological basis - a biologist
Biologist Bakhtiyor Abdugafur writes that there is a neurobiological basis for saying that envy eats away a person's insides.
We say that envy eats away a person's insides. This statement has a scientific basis. More precisely, jealousy has a neurobiological basis.
Neurobiology studies the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous systems, and how they control human thought, behavior, and body functions.
Neurobiology also studies the material basis of human emotions. Including love, jealousy, envy, greed...
Every emotion has a neurobiological - biological and chemical basis. Including jealousy.
A study published in Nature's Scientific Reports magazine in 2021 proved that noradrenaline and cortisol hormones are synthesized when a person is stressed, causing damage to human DNA. The most interesting thing is that the cortisol hormone is also produced when a person is jealous! Accumulation of cortisol in the cell leads to DNA breaks and defects. As a result, it has been proven that a number of diseases, including cancer, appear.
This is where it becomes clear that the saying of our people: "He who is envious eats his guts" is not in vain. Eating the insides is actually breaking the DNA. A break in DNA means a violation of heredity, a defect in the transmission of genetic information.
This can be explained by the fact that envious people are sick, in most cases, this situation is hereditary.
The most amazing thing is that Islam teaches us not to be jealous. Rasul Akram, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, did not say for nothing: "Just as fire eats wood, envy eats up the good deeds of a person."
The conclusion is that people who have no feelings of jealousy live healthy lives, and genetic defects are not observed in them.
Let's live with passion! Don't hurt yourself with envy, save your DNA!
