PANGS OF SEPARATION INCREASE HEART ATTACK RISK

-

in the first month of heartbreak, people with a broken heart should not hesitate to take a doctor’s support,” he noted.

As we have all read and seen love can have positive and negative effects. In order to see these positive effects, we all need to express our feelings. Love cannot be just for one person, it is mutual. For instance, platonic love can lead to health problems, according to Dr. Karabulut. Therefore, we need to share what we have inside, at least for the sake of our health.

Hormones such as dopamine, endorphins and serotonin, which are secreted by the brain when people fall in love, create an antidepres­sant effect on us while giving happiness. Thus, heart vessels are protected from the harmful effects of depression.

When love is mentioned, only emotional intimacy between two people should not be thought of alone. Every type of love, even including the love of animals, nature and Sufi love, is a type of love and has positive effects on heart health. That is, love should not be a burden for people. On the contrary, it should positively affect our lives. This is why we all need to maintain a heart and brain balance in love.

Reduction in heart attack risk

Love reduces the risk of heart attacks in the long run. While sleep quality in couples living in a happy and peaceful relationsh­ip increases, the risk of heart attack seems to decrease. Thanks to love, shown as the antidote to stress, cortisol, the stress hormone in the body, decreases and the sugar and cholestero­l cycle is balanced. The vessels are protected, as well.

Strong immunity

“With oxytocin, the most important element of the love potion, blood pressure is improved, the body’s immune system becomes stronger and the inflammato­ry state in the veins decreases,” added Dr. Karabulut.
