Sneak peak for my article in the Parade this week!!! Give me your opinion. Love is real, do you believe in love? I believe in live. God is real and I feel it in my soul all of the time. Namaste!!! Eric Paskel This is my article... Love is the best prescription ! No other organ in the human body can measure up to the heart’s social reputation. So it’s a bit of scientific serendipity that the act of loving another whether its your parents, your spouse, your pup, your best friend actually improves your heart health. When you lock eyes with the person who makes your heart race — whether it’s a new crush or the love of your life — your brain releases hormones such as dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine, which make your heart beat faster and stronger. These short-lived spikes can train your heart to pump blood more efficiently, similar to the way aerobic exercise would (though to a lesser extent, of course). Yep, you still need to hit the treadmill no matter how much love you have in your life. Could a hug a day keep the doctor away? When you partake in a warm embrace with someone you love (like a parent, child, or spouse), your body releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, which has the power to reduce stress hormones and lower blood pressure . Have you had a good laugh yet today? Call up a good friend or family member, stat! Between mental stress and the narrowing of blood vessels, which can restrict blood flow and lead to atherosclerosis. Laughter, however, has the opposite effect. So get the pals you love most together for a good chuckle more often. When we have a positive outlook on life it can protect against cardiovascular disease. The positive affect as feeling joy, happiness, excitement, enthusiasm, and contentment, all of which may stem from having people you love in your life.
