Today is Valentine's Day. The day of love. There are many reasons to celebrate love. Sure, it brings nice feelings, and sometimes, delicious candy. But, it also brings very positive health benefits.
"Engaging in joyful activities such as love may activate areas in the brain responsible for emotion, attention, motivation and memory..." one researcher notes. Love reduces stress, boosts your heart, improves your mental health, and strengthens your immune system. Wow!
Plus, love keeps people alive. A British study on marriage and death found that people who were married had a much lower risk of dying.
Have a healthy and happy Valentine's Day.
I love you,
