The miraculous effects of love on the body

Here are some of the most amazing effects that love has on the human mind and body that have been scientifically proven.

Love is a natural pain reliever

Recent studies have shown that when you hug, the brain releases oxytocin, a feeling of calm and closeness that is released within 10 to 20 seconds, which can help fight pain, especially headaches. Furthermore, simply looking at a photo of a loved one can increase pain threshold and reduce pain (up to 40% of moderate cases and 15% of severe cases).

From another perspective, scientists have also proven that sexual stimulation and especially orgasm also have a great effect in blocking pain. This is especially effective for chronic back pain, arthritis symptoms and cramps.

Love cares for the heart

Studies show that expressions of love reduce heart rate by half. This is even more effective in stressful situations and reduces the risk of heart disease in the long term.

In addition, oxytocin - known as the love hormone and considered one of the most wonderful molecules in the world, helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure, reduce frequent anxiety, increase self-esteem, and help us avoid and fight depression.

Love helps the body fight disease

Gestures associated with love, from holding hands to sexual activity, increase endorphin production, which in turn boosts our immune systems.

Similarly, feeling loved by people with physical conditions leads to better responses to treatment and gives people a stronger motivation to fight the disease.

Love against insomnia

Sex hormones (oxytocin and endorphins) inhibit the release of cortisol, which is responsible for reducing stress, promoting better rest. In addition, the "hormonal rebalancing" of love has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective treatments for good sleep.

Love increases longevity

Research shows that people in meaningful relationships, especially marriages, feel healthier and benefit from a healthy lifestyle (including better eating, sleep, stress reduction, etc.).

Basically, it has been scientifically proven that people who are in love and in a healthy relationship tend to live longer.

Love is therapy

The emotional and physical support and affection of your lover is the main (and sometimes the only) medicine for dealing with your obsessions, depression, social anxieties and ultimately physical health. We love to improve our relationships, to be happy and to stay healthy.

For these reasons, open your heart and show your love, because that is the most effective way for you to receive more./.
