Friendship is more addictive than opiates, new Oxford University research suggests

The British University of Oxford talked about the number of friends after listening to it, you will start counting your friends. It is also more than others.

In this research on the university’s website, it has been said that friends are much better than addiction to ‘morphine’ (opium). Experts have discovered that spending time with a wide circle of friends naturally increases the body’s release of endorphins, a hormone that naturally reduces the intensity of pain. On the other hand, endorphins play an important role in both pain and pleasure, and this has been proven in research on humans and some animals.

Katrina Johnson, a PhD student in the University’s Department of Psychology, tried to clarify in one of her studies what makes the difference between those who have more friends than others. “I was very interested in ‘endorphins’, a chemical in the brain. ‘Endorphins’ are closely related to our pleasures and pains,” he says. It would not be out of place to say that endorphins are the natural painkillers in our body that also provide us with happiness.

Katrina says that earlier research suggested that “endorphins” increase the desire to connect with society in humans and animals. According to another theory of social connectedness, “endorphins” begin to provide positive feelings when a person is mingling with others.

The research also states that “endorphin system plays an important role in preventing psychological diseases like depression.” Research has shown that endorphins are better than opiates for pain relief.

Katrina says that the “endorphin system” plays an important role in the prevention of psychological diseases such as depression. This may be the reason why those with disturbed endorphin systems feel more depressed and perhaps this is the reason why depression isolates people from society. Starts. Research has also shown that people who feel more stressed have fewer social contacts and fewer friends because they can’t listen to or tolerate others. They have the power to bear more pain.
