Love is the drug?


As the Beatles sung back in the 60's 'All You Need Is Love'... or perhaps Roxy Music were onto something back in the 70's with 'Love Is The Drug'...

Love gives us a sense of security, happiness and sureness.

But did you know that according to a recent study conducted in the US, being in love may actually make us feel so euphoric that we in fact ignore pain?

Sounds a little crazy right? Well, the study found that subjects in love not only felt less pain while looking at a picture of their significant other, but that love also acts through the same pathway in the brain as some strong painkillers and addictive drugs.

Pretty cool huh!
So get your love-on people, you might just be helping avoid pain and discomfort! :)
