Laughter is the medicine and it really does make you live longer. It’s
also much better than crying! Read these ten other strange, surprising
and slightly odd facts that will enrich and enlighten your life!
1. Falling in love cures stress
Falling in love actually has many health benefits. It calms the nerves
and increases the nerve growth rate and so helps restore the nervous
system too. That’s what happens in the first year of love anyway, after
that, it’s all back to normal. No wonder then that the honeymoon period
doesn’t last forever.
2. Kissing burns off calories
If you are trying to lose weight, then pucker up, because kissing will
help. Just one minute of kissing will burn off around 2-3 calories. So,
do your maths
3. Being in love can make you obsessive
When you first fall for someone, the levels of serotonin in your body
reduce. They reduce right down to the same level that is found in people
who suffer with obsessive-compulsive disorder. That could explain a
lot!
4. A cuddle really does take the pain away
Remember how your mum’s cuddles took the pain away? Well, it wasn’t just
a mother’s magic at work; cuddles make the body release oxytocin, which
acts as a natural painkiller.
5. Laughter is a universal language
Different cultures may have different ways to say ‘hello’ and even
different ways to insult each other, but laughter is universal, wherever
you go in the world.
6. First impressions count
When you go on a first date, you better be careful about what your first
words are. Actually, it’s more your body language that makes the first
impression, but human beings typically make their minds up about each
other during just four first minutes of meeting.
7. You need to date 12 people, before you find “the one”
According to statistical analysis, you have a better chance of finding
someone who is truly compatible with you after you have dated twelve
different people. The statisticians had no advice though, on what to do,
if by the time you get to number twelve, you realize that the number
one was actually “the one”. So, it’s best to ignore their advice and
just listen to your heart.
8. Opposites attract
Research has proven that, whilst there should be some similarities
between people in a relationship, if they are too alike, then the
relationship won’t last. So, there is some truth to the saying that
opposites attract.
9. Heartbreak is real
The pain of breaking up is a physical one, as well as a mental anguish.
The body produces chemicals at times like this that can cause the heart
to weaken, which causes pain in the chest and a shortness of breath.
10. A pretty face attracts more than a voluptuous figure
There is evidence to suggest that an attractive body will be what gains a
man’s attention, when he is looking for a fling, but it is a pretty
face that will catch his eye when he is looking for a long term
relationship. No surprises there then!
