Can it be considered a love drug? In fact no, but its influence on the human body – it is possible. No wonder they say that love is chemistry. Actually, it’s not so much a figurative expression. The feeling of love and dedication to another person in the body starts the chemical processes which cause a wide range of incredible experiences. Love a person is so happy that it is difficult to understand: if he loves the object of adoration or feelings that it causes. Which is love chemistry?
Elevated levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine
This chemical is responsible for feelings of joy and happiness. I love a man of his levels are through the roof, causing a storm of emotions and unforgettable feelings. This is especially noticeable at the initial stage of love when from a glance, word, or touch of the object of adoration you are ready to embrace the whole world, do not sleep all night, sing with happiness, and dance with joy. Is that the euphoria caused by the chemical process in the body?
High pain threshold
It turns out, love the sensation of pain. It proved another study, which involved couples. The participants of the experiment were touching hot objects, and those who at this moment looked at his soul mate, the pain was much less than all other subjects. This means that at the time of the disease, it is enough to admire the photograph of a loved one, to feel better.
Eye contact
The effect of love is enhanced by eye contact pair. This is, again, proven by the researchers. The participants of the experiment were offered a choice: to watch or to each other’s eyes or hands. Those who chose eye contact felt a special warmth and attachment to the partner.
Adrenaline
Many couples can’t hide their feelings at the sight of the object of attention. Gives them a faint blush on his cheeks. This is also a completely understandable reaction: adrenaline causes the blood to circulate more quickly, the vessels dilate, so the cheeks and blush.
Butterflies in the stomach
All that is going through you when in contact with the object of sympathy, is quite understandable from the point of view of physics and chemistry. Butterflies in the stomach have invented romance, but the tingling in some parts of the body, palpitations, dizziness, and hydration of the hands is the result of the actions of norepinephrine and epinephrine. Such feelings can cause even the thought of a loved one, not to mention verbal contact and touch.
Of course, the chemical nature of the love process did not diminish the importance of love in General. Cannot be attributed to the physics of the whole range of emotions that we experience in the moments of intimacy with our mate. Because scientists have not figured out why there is sympathy towards a particular person, and what forces are responsible for the fateful meeting. And even though this will share riddles and romance.
