Facts About Love

#1: A Game of Chemicals

A proportionate mixture of oxytocin, vasopressin, pheromones, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine and serotonin can explain the concept of love, but the idea of forgetting to breathe, wind blowing Bollywood style, protagonists looking into each other’s eyes deeply that they don’t even become aware of a fire around them and obviously the background music is just way too appealing.

#2: Memory Booster

Exam Time is the best time to fall in love as falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for almost a year, which aids in restoring the nervous system and also improving the lover’s memory

#3: Fearful Love

Not only fear but love is also known for exerting similar amount of stress and physiological responses such as increased heart rate, sweaty palms and pupil dilation.

#4: An Expensive Tradition

Diamond engagement ring idea came from Archduke Maximillian of Austria who set this tradition in the 15th century by giving a diamond ring to his fiancée, Mary of Burgundy without realizing that it was going to cost each one of us a large cut from our hard earned money.

#5: Obsession Explained
