35 Beautiful Facts About Love That You Never Knew Of (7 of 7)

It brings down your headache frequency to half

For those who get frequent headaches and can’t find a solution, love is what they actually need to look out for. In an experiment conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine, participants with a complaint of severe chronic headaches were given oxytocin, the love hormone, through nasal sprays. Over half of them said the pain was less than half after about four hours of taking the dose. Additionally, 27 percent of them said their pain had completely gone in the same duration.

Couple’s heartbeats synchronize

When couples who are in love hug or look into each other’s eyes, their hearts begin to beat at the same rate. This has been scientifically analyzed at the University of California. In the experiment, 32 couples were made to sit facing their partner for 3 minutes. In the end, it was concluded that the heart rates of the partners were nearly the same.

It can lead you to do even forbidden things

When you are insanely in love with someone, you don’t shy away from going to great lengths to let them know what they mean to you. This holds good even if you have to do something that may not be right. We have an example to back us up. Joseph Andrew Dekinipp had been locked up in a prison in Arizona, but he broke out to be with his girlfriend on Valentine’s. Didn’t this just melt your heart?

Both your lover’s scent and presence equally matter

How a person smells is a major factor in determining whether they can be a potential match for you. Unless you are drawn to their natural scent, you won’t be attracted to their personality or to all the good attributes they possess.

Love and lust excite different parts of the mind

Don’t ever compare a one-night stand with a charming stranger to making love to someone you are in love with. The two are poles apart. While the former serves your need for pleasure, the latter, along with that, gives you a sense of belonging. Both affect your brain differently, but the latter is way superior.
