I used to be an organic chemist so I made molecules every day. Even if you don\u2019t know exactly what a molecule is, I\u2019ll bet you&#8217;re familiar with many popular ones.<\/p>\n<p>Serotonin is a molecule that\u2019s associated with positive mood. Ascorbic acid is a molecule otherwise known as Vitamin C. There\u2019s caffeine that you find in coffee, morphine that people receive for pain, threobromine in chocolate. \u00a0You may even have heard of lycopene that we get in tomatoes or allicin from garlic, which is responsible for its antibiotic effects. Sildenafil is a molecule more commonly known as Viagra.<\/p>\n<p>We produce many molecules in the body through our behaviour. Stress, for example, produces cortisol. Cortisol can therefore be said to be a \u2018molecule of stress\u2019. Hunger produces grehlin, a molecule that readies the body for eating. Grehlin is known as the \u2018hunger hormone\u2019 (a hormone is another name for a particular type of molecule).<\/p>\n<p>There are two \u2018<strong>molecules of kindness<\/strong>\u2019; that is, molecules that are produced in the body when we\u2019re kind.<\/p>\n<p>The first is <strong>oxytocin<\/strong> and the second is <strong>nitric oxide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard of oxytocin. People call it the \u2018love hormone\u2019 or \u2018cuddle chemical\u2019 because it\u2019s readily produced in the body when we feel love or when we hug a person or an animal. We produce oxytocin basically any time we\u2019re being genuinely kind.<\/p>\n<p>And I say genuinely for a reason. This is because genuine kindness creates a warm feeling inside and it\u2019s the warm feeling that produces the oxytocin. If it\u2019s not genuine, there\u2019s no oxytocin. It\u2019s like nature\u2019s catch-22. So, what do oxytocin and nitric oxide do?<\/p>\n<p>Studies of cells from our arteries show that oxytocin basically protects the cells from oxidation (or oxidative stress, as scientists prefer to call it) and inflammation. Oxidative stress and inflammation play a big role in heart disease. When there\u2019s not a lot of oxytocin around, there\u2019s typically more oxidative stress and inflammation, but once oxytocin arrives in our arteries the levels come way down. Basically, oxytocin protects the heart. It\u2019s known as a \u2018cardio-protective\u2019 molecule. Since we produce it when we\u2019re kind, kindness can also be said to be cardio-protective.<\/p>\n<p>I remember, as a child, a saying among some of the older people in our street was that \u2018if you live from the heart, it\u2019s good for the heart\u2019. They were pretty much on the money with that!<\/p>\n<p>Once oxytocin is in our arteries, which happens when we\u2019re being kind, it causes nitric oxide to be produced. Nitric oxide is a bit of a miracle molecule &#8211; that\u2019s according to Dr Louis Ignarro, who received the Nobel Prize for his work on it. Nitric oxide helps regulate blood pressure by altering the texture of our arterial walls. If blood pressure is high, nitric oxide makes the arteries softer and this causes them to widen (dilate) and blood pressure comes down. If blood pressure is low, on the other hand, then nitric oxide toughens up the arteries to increase the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Nitric oxide also helps circulation and plays a very important role in maintaining blood flow all around the body, including the brain. It also helps maintain an optimum balance of HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol. It may be a miracle molecule but an even greater miracle is that we produce it by being kind.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, kindness is very good for the heart because it produces oxytocin and nitric oxide, two <strong>molecules of kindness<\/strong>, and they both act on the heart and arteries to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Five-Side-Effects-Kindness-Happier\/dp\/1781808139\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490178412&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+5+side+effects+of+kindness\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1978 size-thumbnail lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/drdavidhamilton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/5-side-effects-jacket-image-1-97x150.jpg\" alt=\"5 side effects jacket image\" width=\"97\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 97px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 97\/150;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1978 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/drdavidhamilton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/5-side-effects-jacket-image-1-97x150.jpg\" alt=\"5 side effects jacket image\" width=\"97\" height=\"150\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>References and more information can be found in my new book, (<strong>The 5 Side Effects of Kindness<\/strong>), (Feb 2017). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Five-Side-effects-Kindness-Better-Happier\/dp\/1781808139\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490178227&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+5+side+effects+of+kindness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon UK<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Five-Side-Effects-Kindness-Happier\/dp\/1781808139\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490178266&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+5+side+effects+of+kindness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon.com<\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Five-Side-Effects-Kindness-Happier\/dp\/1781808139\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490178319&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+5+side+effects+of+kindness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon.ca<\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com.au\/Five-Side-effects-Kindness-Better-Happier-ebook\/dp\/B01MSQVP3H\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1490178358&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+5+side+effects+of+kindness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNo act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.\u201d Aesop A molecule is a useful collection of atoms.
