1.Falling in love is like being high
You know that exhilaration and bliss you’re feeling when falling in love? That euphoria that makes you see the world in a different light? According to a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, you’re experiencing the same thing as if being high.
Feel-good hormones such as dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline are released when being in love but also when being on drugs. “The reason people are so attracted to cocaine is that it activates the area of the brain that makes you feel good,” researcher Arthur Aron, PhD, tells WebMD. “The same reward area is activated when people are experiencing the intense desire of romantic love.”
2.Hugging your partner can alleviate stress
Feeling stressed out? Guess what? The best medicine is love; more precisely, hugging the person you love. According to one study carried out by psychiatrists at the University of North Carolina, when two people hug each other, their levels of oxytocin, a stress‐buffering hormone in the brain that regulates the physiological effects of stress, increase. The higher oxytocin levels, the lower the stress.
