Love is a mysterious light feeling, beneficial to the human body. Researchers have long been open that lovers do not actually experience emotional stress, and they recover faster after illness and restore their strength. It was confirmed that the immune system is strengthened due to mutual love, because of which beloved are less likely to suffer from cold illnesses.
Studies conducted by American scientists have found that the action that has a love for the brain is similar to the influence of drugs. They found that if lovers look at the picture of the object of their passion, their brains begin to overwhelm with the hormone that is responsible for the pleasure. Thanks to a closer contact, a hormone is synthesized, which develops a psychological connection between two lovers.
The touch of the bodies has a very high energy, which can be characterized by the strongest manifestation of romantic emotions. Because of them, the emotional and bodily state of a person changes completely, and his soul and body recover. Simple bodily touch, such as hugs, helps to lower the level of the stress hormone in blood, blood pressure comes back to normal, and sensitivity to pain decreases.
In addition, wanting to make the relationship longer and stronger, a person in love at the subconscious level wants to maintain a figure, lead a healthy lifestyle and strive for absolute perfection. Such a feeling, like love, can bring people an influx of energy and strength.
