A recent study conducted by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain and France found that meditation can inhibit the expression of genes involved in inflammation.

Dr. Perla Kaliman, a researcher at Barcelona's Biomedical Research Institute in Spain, said: 'The current goal of the study is to monitor changes in genes to introduce anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. effective. These findings will be the foundation for strategies to treat chronic inflammatory diseases. '

During the study, an experienced group meditated within 8 hours. During that time, another group only participated in other quiet activities.

The results after the study showed that the genes involved in inflammation in the group of meditators were inhibited compared to the rest. Previously, researchers tested the genes of two groups and found no differences.

The author, Dr. Richard J. Davidson, a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, said: 'The genes that are found to be inhibited by the body's meditative state have those genes that are linked concerning inflammation ".
