CHEMISTRY AND LOVE

Today celebrating the day of love, I want to share with you how the chemistry influences in that feeling which we call LOVE. They'll think it's crazy, but chemistry and love certainly go hand in hand. Why do I tell you this? It turns out that when we are in love with that special person the body releases certain chemical compounds such as dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. These are responsible for experiencing joy, excitement and energy.

In another sense, the chemical compounds that we release when we feel in love, each of them act in a different way. Oxytocin, for example, is known as the neurotransmitter of hugs, because it is released at the time of physical contact with a special person, for that reason when we feel sad and give us a strong hug, positively influences us and we feel more animated and happy.

As for serotonin, known as the neurotransmitter of happiness, it provokes in us a feeling of well-being, optimism, humor and great sociability, for which it is taken into account to combat anger and aggressiveness. But, there are cases in which there is a presence of depression and obsession, caused by low levels of serotonin. That is why, when people fall into a state of depression, it is very common to prescribe antidepressants, which increase the levels of serotonin is our body. So, for us to have good levels of serotonin, we must think positive, because by means of it we release this neurotransmitter of happiness.

Finally, dopamine is responsible for experiencing pleasure. This is completely released when we fall in love causing a feeling of euphoria and great happiness in us. From there, the phrase of the biological anthropologist Helen Fisher (2004): "If someone is unique in his life and focuses on that person, it is because the dopamine system has been activated"

However, these neurochemicals of love over time diminish, calling this fact the loss of love, and this happens because the neuronal receptors have become accustomed to the excess of chemical flow we experience when we fall in love. For this reason, we come to a sentence in relationships as it is, I DO NOT FEEL THE SAME THING. This causes a collapse for the lover, may not be so easy to leave the relationship or in any case recover from it. This recovery takes time until the chemical flow of love returns to its stability.

So I invite everyone to spend this special day, in the midst of hugs, positive thoughts and above all much LOVE.
