Love Isn’t Just Emotional — It’s Biochemistry
✨ What love does inside your body:
• Boosts DNA repair
Love and safety help your cells heal, clean up damage, make antioxidants, and create more energy.
• Reduces inflammation
It lowers the activity of genes that create inflammation and stress in the body.
• Raises oxytocin (the bonding hormone)
Oxytocin lowers stress hormones, supports your immune system, and helps wounds heal faster.
• Protects your telomeres
These are the end-caps on your DNA that affect how fast you age.
Feeling loved is linked to longer, healthier telomeres.
• Lowers cortisol and calms the stress system
This protects your body from the damage caused by long-term stress.
• Strengthens your immune system
Love increases protective immune cells and reduces inflammation in the body.
Love calms your body.
Safety settles your system.
Connection activates your healing.
🤍
