How being madly in love can improve your overall health
Everyone knows that love is the most powerful force there is, but do you know what makes it so powerful? By truthfully loving someone and vice versa you allow yourself to be open and truthful. In doing so you are faced with the challenge of being kind and understanding in all situations, especially when you disagree on something. That means that you should make spending time with your significant other a top priority and in the midst of it you both reveal the ugly and awesome aspects of yourselves.
In the process of loving someone you can expect your unhealed emotions and pains of your childhood upbringing (click link to see article) to surface, but eventually, be healed. Having the love and support of someone else is essential to living a holistically healthy life. Make sure that both you and the one you love are doing things to build your relationship and make it last.
Here are a few other perks that love can have on your health:
It may strengthen your immune system.
Research suggests that happy couples who engage in positive quarrel resolution have higher functioning immune systems then those who don't.
2. It may give you glowing skin.
Love can decrease your stress levels. There is less cortisol- high cortisol levels lead to pimples and skin breakouts.
3. Increased dopamine brain activity and mental well-being.
Dopamine, the rush that comes from being in love is associated with optimism, energy and a sense of well-being.
4. More birthdays!
When you combine the sense of fulfillment with improved mental and physical well-being its proven that life gets longer in your favor. Love on!
If you are currently experiencing true love I commend you but for those of you who are single, let someone awesome love you! There is no growth in the comfort zone. Perhaps a change of your surroundings can aid you in attracting someone that fits you. Remember to set boundaries and know your self worth. The thing I love most about love is that once you have experienced how to love one person, you learn to love the world and everyone else around you.
