Mejor sol@ q mal acompañad@?

Look this! although it maybe gives me no hope of a long live... it's amazing!

Lonely people's immune systems go haywire, researchers say. They have something in their genes that makes them more potential to have illness and even to die before...
They used a gene chip to look at the DNA of isolated people and found that people who describe themselves as chronically lonely have distinct patterns of genetic activity, almost all of it involving the immune system.
The study does not show which came first: the loneliness or the physical traits.But it does suggest there may be a way to help prevent the deadly effects of loneliness, says author Associate Professor Steve Cole from the University of California Los Angeles.
"What this study shows is that the biological impact of social isolation reaches down into some of our most basic internal processes: the activity of our genes," Cole says."We have known for years that there is this epidemiological relationship between social support - how many friends and family members you have around you - and a whole bunch of physical outcomes."Many studies of large populations have shown that people who describe themselves as lonely or as having little social support are more likely to die prematurely and to have infections, high blood pressure, insomnia and cancer. "There is something about being isolated and lonely that changes your body."
The researchers set out to investigate this theory and publish their results this week in the journal Genome Biology.John Cacioppo, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, has been studying the health effects of loneliness for years in a group of people who have allowed him to delve in-depth into their social lives and health.
Cole and Cacioppo's team studied 14 of these volunteers, six who scored in the top 15% of an accepted scale of loneliness."These are people who said for four years straight 'there's really nobody that I feel that close to'," Cole says. (DOES IT SOUND CLOSE 2 U??) Cole's team took blood and studied the gene activity of their immune system cells; the white blood cells that protect from invaders such as viruses and bacteria.All 22,000 human genes were studied and compared, and 209 stood out in the loneliest people."These 200 genes weren't sort of a random mishmash of genes. They were part of a highly suspicious conspiracy of genes. A big fraction of them seemed to be involved in the basic immune response to tissue damage," Cole says.
The findings suggest that the loneliest people had unhealthy levels of chronic inflammation, which has been associated with heart and artery disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's and other ills.

Well, personally i still prefering being lonely than accompany myself with somebody wrong. that's it! Yes, i can die before...but i will be happy and i will do it alone. jaja q triste!! no es cierto! if somebody wants to die with me! very welcome!!!

jaja that isn't true, neither. ..my dog stills right besides me. :p
