Plato stated, long time ago, that “love is a grave mental disease”, and 2500 years later we know that romantic love is basically an addiction with early-stage romantic love being characterised by some characteristics of drug addiction, such as similarities in the dopamine system, while significant differences in oxytocin system.
But it is also true, and women have known for centuries, that “the way to a man's heart is through his stomach”.
To make a long story short, and after thousands of years of common wisdom, today we now that the gut–brain axis (occasionally used to refer to the role of the gut flora) is the biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the CNS, while alterations between gut flora and brain are connected to anxiety disorders, mood disorders, autism and even Parkinson's disease.
“Sometimes there’s no cure for the crazy. I think we all just have to keep loving through it. Maybe that’s the cure.” ― Emme Rollins, Dear Rockstar
