There's something magical about being in love. The flutter in your eyes, the gorgeous glowing skin, the effervescent smile and that almost foolishly happy for absolutely no reason disposition. LOVE. It can do that to the most rational, logical and practical of us all. If you think being goofy in love with a smile for no reason is unbecoming, i've got news for you bebe. 

When we are in love or feel loved the body releases a lot of feel-good hormones. One of them, among many is Oxytocin. Did you know that oxytocin is also one of the hormones that impacts the contraction and expansion of the womb and how milk ducts get stimulated while feeding? It also plays a role in not developing food allergies.

Have i lost my male readers? Wait. I have news for you too. Apparently when men and women go out for a romantic date or a mushy movie, levels of progesterone are boosted by almost 10% and this enhances the men's desire to get intimate. When Harry Met Sally tonight?

The love between man and woman is not the only kind that is nourishing for us. Research suggests that fathers who have a good bond with their children have lower levels of cortisol which invariably shoots up during the week while they are at work. Oh cortisol! You do not want elevated levels of cortisol in your body because this one is a trouble maker.

So grab a bite together over a moonlit sky. Hug your babies nice and tight. Make passionate love to your beau. Walk hand in hand singing and laughing over meaningful conversation. You'll soon realize, your medical bills are disappearing and the way you look and feel will be everyone's envy. LOVE.
