There Are Signs Hidden In the Science of Your Body When You Fall In Love

May 3, 2017 by Jackson

If you could recall your first childhood “crush,” it couldn’t be harder to remember butterflies in the stomach, nervousness, and a racing heartbeat whenever you come across that one person. You were infatuated and couldn’t think of anything else than the object of your affection. This is the feeling when you fall in love and many can relate to this effect on mind and body.

Desperately waiting for the recess bell so you could see that person on the playground or waiting for your turn to sit next to your love was among many pleasures of love. The taste of immature love could cast about different chemical reactions and this fascinating chain of emotions takes place when we’re head over heels.

The infancy of your relationship till saying of those “three words,” brings science of your body into play and here’s what goes on when you fall in love.

SIGNS REVEALING SCIENCE OF YOUR BODY WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE

Falling in love is similar to being addicted to drugs

Chemicals that cause euphoric high when someone takes drugs have the similar effect on the body when you fall in love. During intimacy period, chemicals like adrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin elate the feelings and energy around the loved one.  Dopamine is very well-known as the brain’s pleasure chemical.

A magnetic force feels around when you spend more time with your lover and it pulls you towards that special person and the effect is same like drugs.

Love breaks all the limitations and lowers inhibitions

The way too many cocktails lowers anxiety, fear, and inhibition the “love drug” oxytocin initiates the same chemical reaction. One feels more boastful and confident.

When you fall in love you pupils will dilate

A strong attachment with the love of your life will make your pupils dilate whenever you two will spend time together. It happens within the brain’s sympathetic branch, called SNS. Notice this very explicit sign on your next date or when you are with your beloved spouse.

Flushed face, sweaty palms, or a racing heart are love sensations on your body

Anxiety takes place of calmness when your brain focuses intently on the person of affection. An influx of the brain chemicals adrenaline and norepinephrine starts to build up which may result in physical sensations like craving and desire.

Loss of appetite and feeling nauseous

The feeling of falling in love releases the stress hormone cortisol. It causes the stomach’s blood vessels to constrict and you may experience loss of appetite or sometimes nausea; no wonder, couples don’t eat much on their wedding day!

Separation can intensify stress

Corticoliberin is a peptide hormone that is usually released during depression or anxiety. Separation from the loved one can exacerbate stress response. Such response is one of the withdrawal symptoms, which is similar to the phase an addict goes through when weaning off a drug.

Fascinating changes in brain when close to a lover

Various researches have been done and are still going on over the brain images of individuals in love. A very popular one is by Fisher’s first groundbreaking study in 2005 which revealed the drastic differences when the participants were shown a picture of someone special and a picture of an acquaintance.

The first effect in the certain regions of the brain was the influx of dopamine chemicals that make one feels good. Two other areas of the brain, the caudate nucleus and ventral tegmental area, have also shown noticeable differences like reward detection and pleasure focused attention.
