6 Crazy Things Happens To Your Body When You Fall In Love "Did You Notice Them"

Love is complex. A mix of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs is associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person. 

What is going on with your body when you fall in love? First of all, it physically affects our hormones and brain. In fact, scientists have shown that love affects the brain in a way similar to drugs addiction. Not only that, but it also has a psychological and behavioral impact on us.


Here are 6 things that happen to your body when you fall in love:-

1. When you begin to fall in love, your brain releases chemicals like vasopressin, adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin that light up your neural receptors and make you feel both pleasure and a euphoric sense of purpose. In simple terms, you're addicted to the one you love. "Romantic love is a kind of addiction.


2. A study found that falling in love can make you feel sick and show symptoms that are similar to anxiety or stress, such as sweat. You may feel more or less stressed than usual, depending on the stage of the relationship. Falling for someone may be stressful at first, there is uncertainty as to whether they feel the same way, the possibility of rejection, and anxiety as to when to say those three magical words.

3. When we experience a physiological response to emotions such as fear or in this case attraction, it causes our pupils to dilate because the iris muscles are controlled by our autonomic nervous system. Oxytocin and dopamine—"love hormones"—have an effect on the size of the pupil. Your brain gets a boost from these chemicals when you're romantically attracted to someone else. This hormonal surge appears to make your pupils dilate.

4. Falling in love triggers the fight or flight reaction in the body. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released into the bloodstream when the adrenal medulla in the brain releases catecholamines. This triggers the heart to beat faster and that is why you can feel it pumping away when you are attracted to someone.

5. High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to reduced appetite and insomnia – which means that you can actually be so "in love" that you can't eat and can't sleep.

6. Being with a romantic partner can bring a lot — and sometimes surprising health benefits. Studies have shown that only touching the one we love can act as a pain reliever. New research suggests that even being in the presence of a loved one can help reduce pain.
