The Most Important Health Nutrient of All – “LOVE”
By Dr. Paul Haider
“12 ways love creates better health and happiness”
Love is the one ingredient that does not come from food, in a tablet, a capsule, or even in a bottle, it’s the one elusive ingredient that many people forget about for great health and vitality.
And love is all about giving, and giving in itself has many health benefits, thus love is the most important ingredient of all!
Boosts the Immune System – In studies those that argued in a loving way had no suppression of their immune system while those that argued in negative ways had a huge drop in their immune system.
Feel Happier – Love increases dopamine levels in the brain thus you sleep better, feel happier and have a better outlook on life. Studies show that just looking at photographs of people we love increases dopamine levels in the brain and creates a feeling of bliss. And studies show that love gives us extra vitality and an optimistic look on life. Those in committed loving relationships also have a lower incidence of suicide, depression, drug abuse, and alcohol… and seem to be happier in general with less stress and anxiety… and even few colds and visits to the doctor.
The Power of Touch – Babies that are not touched for long periods of time show a lack of brain development. These studies where carried out years ago in orphanages where children were cared for and fed but not lovingly touched… in the end their growth was stunted and their brain did not develop like other children. Being touched by loved ones leads to feelings of peace, love, and contentment.
