7 Scientific Ways That Falling in Love Affects the Body (4 of 4)

You’ve found the natural fountain of youth

Okay, so your palms are slimy. You’re drunk without even running for the booze cabinet. You’ve forgotten how to speak. You’re declining your roommate’s gift of a Taco Bell spicy double steak grilled cheese burrito, which is completely out of character for you! But, hey, at least you’re looking younger, more refreshed, and ready to take life by the bull’s balls. Yes, indeed! Love increases blood flow…and we don’t just mean there, you dirty-minded bird! Blood flow to the skin is what we’re talking about, and as a result you look years younger! Apparently, true love does what only the top plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills are capable of, but without the steep medical bill. 

Palms are sweaty, mom’s spaghetti

If you love old Eminem songs as much as we do, no article is complete without a reference to them! In this case, we’re talking about the 2002 hit “Lose Yourself,” of course.

The exciting experience of love releases brain chemicals called monoamines, which when set into overdrive leaves your body in the form of perspiration. But, hey, any girl who digs your sweat is a keeper.
