Did you know that long term relationships may be a matter of hormonal attraction? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. When we fall in love we get the butterflies in our stomach and dizzy with infatuation. This is due to the release of cortisol and a drop in serotonin. While these feelings even out over time, it doesn’t mean you have fallen out of love. Just the opposite, it means your body is balancing it’s hormones. Sticking with a loving relationship has its benefits. Even those that have been married fifty years experience oxytocin and vasopressin spikes when talking or thinking about their loved one. It’s these hormones that strengthen the bond. Need another reason to stay together? Many studies support the fact that married people live longer and healthier lives.
