Hello Everybody!
Hope you are all having a great time :_) Guys, I've been quite shocked with the results when making a research about the benefits of love...You won't believe it...Here's what I've found out:
Love makes you smarter
Falling in love induces a calming effect on the body and mind by raising levels of nerve growth for about a year. This hormone-like substance helps to restore the nervous system and improves memory by triggering the growth of new brain cells.
(Sify News 2007.)
Love benefits your immune, endocrine and cardiovascular systems
We may also pay a price if we don't give love. Research shows that loving acts neutralise the kind of negative emotions that adversely affect immune, endocrine and cardiovascular function.
(Stephen Post Ph.D professor of bioethics and religion at Ohio's Case Western University.)
Love is good for your heart
The brain becomes "fired up" when talking to someone it finds attractive and sends impulses to the heart making it pound three times faster than normal. This results in increased blood supply to the body, specifically the cheeks , which gives us the feeling of butterflies in the stomach.
(Dr John Marsden PhD. chartered psychologist and senior lecturer at London's Institute of Psychiatry.)
Love makes you live longer
Studies have indicated that a lack of love causing social isolation increases the risk of early death by up to five times. Feeling connected is essential to good health.
(Dean Ornish MD, author of Love and Survival: 8 Pathways to Intimacy and Health.)
Research carried out at The Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, suggests that selfless love can increase our immunity by de-stressing us as well as possibly extending our life spans and improving our mental health states, including reducing depression, for those who focus their attention on giving or helping others.So why don't you go and help somebody?
Love can lower your cholesterol
Research has shown that expressing your feelings of affection can reduce cholesterol levels. A study in Human Communication Research found that people who wrote about their feelings of affection for significant friends, relatives, and/or romantic partners had significantly lower cholesterol levels than those that didn't.
Can you believe this?!!! So hurry and look for your mate, because your life, health and happiness depend on her/him :-)

Hi Anua!
I'm quite pleased when seeing that my blog could evoke such old nice memories in the readers. Your teacher is absolutely right. "Falling" in all its meanings brings pain; though, this pain may be sweet sometimes for the sake of love ^_* Thanks dear for your nice contribution....
Hi Sandeep!
It's so nice to see you here, my friend ^_^ and thanks a lot for sharing the beautiful lyrics with us. It's such a lovely song...
When I was studying in Elementary School, My Language Teacher gave us lesson about "What is the meaning of Fall word" and How to arrage this word join with other word. My teacher said that If we Fall, we will feel pain. For Example: I fall from my seat that mean I felt pain. And then any friend asked to teacher "How about did we feel after Fall in Love teacher?". And my teacher said that You will felt pain too and she gave us more explain that we should dont fall in love before you be adult because If someone decided to Fall in love he/she have to steady for feel pain.
Then After I was grown and could think like mature woman. I Realized that Fall in love has lot of meaning, benefit and feeling.

"Can't Help Falling In Love"
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Thanks for Sharing! ^.^
