Why can't I vs You shouldn't
Ever wondered what it is like when a girl like a boy and vice versa. The rosy picture that life is good and every folly that the other guy did would not bother you much and you somehow seemed to have increased your bar for patience limit. You start singing love bites. You can't breathe when you think about her, you can't speak when you talk about her. First to start when you see a girl that fits your bill you cease to think normal, those adrenaline rush, the heart beating faster than it should, the sleep, the food. Ah ! the dreamy ones.
Oh ho... Wait a minute. Falling in love is no longer fun. These are so so good on paper or on a stage to make your knees go weak and that you feel liberated. The scientists in the contemporary world just seemed to have made an astounding finding - "Falling in love can damage health". Reason - love triggers a range of physical reactions in the body that can seriously damage health.
The doc says the ups and downs of romance cause a range of physical reactions like dilation of eyes, sweating of palms and increase in heart rate. It also leads to high secretion of the hormone adrenaline and that harms the body.
The Daily Mail quoted Martin Cowie, a professor at Imperial College in London, saying that stress related illnesses at work arose from near-identical physical phenomena.
He added that the inability to acknowledge the effects of emotion on our health makes things worse.
"If people are suffering from emotional problems, they need to acknowledge the effect on their health. There is a feeling that talking about emotions somehow makes you weak, but there is a real link between emotions and health".
So if ever you again feel light on your knees and liberated whilst singing Liz Phair's "Why Can't I" number you should remember this - Love byte thrills to end in hurt, in true sense. They said it. Not me.
P.S - This is just not a generalization rather an attempt to link the feeling with the medicine which may or may not be true. So I divulge my thought before I get swatted by Smarty !

I believe in that cos it's a scientifically proven fact. Emotions run on chemicals and as a result of that ur mind affects ur body.
Keshi.
loved the title..
i saw this article myself.. but its just like saying heartbreak is a real ailment ..
skeptics exist so do believers
Let them say anything..But WE ALL KNOW how good it feels to be in love!!
Its such an amazing feeling.I am so glad that i am!!
what the hell!! is the grave such a lovely place i should take my body with absolutely no injuries????
IM WITH KESHI..
yes yes yes.. ure right.. and duhhhh
you ure self said it.. adreline rush when falling in love
so adreline - also activates ure sympathetic system - therefore causing sweaty palms and increase in heart beat.
its the same FEELIGN
wether you describe it as the 'PITTER PATTER OF URE HEART TO THE BEAT OF HER STEPS'
or... medically -- increase in heart rate.. lol. the facts dont change.
secondly, emotions are highly linked to ure reactions, actions, and mood -- there's couple of s related to just studying that..
ie - psychology, neurology, neuroanatomy.. etc etc.
just in the few classes ive had i know there are special pathways that release hormones and "endorphins" and or relate msgs to your brain in the thalamus (relay center) which takes it to the limbic system (emotional center) of ure brain. all memories and scents are LINKED to emotions.
so therefore... i doubt its damaging, but IT DOES HAPPEN.
lol loved the extra note on the bottom. i see u too are scared of moi.. hmm learn to live in fear ;) *evil laugh*
@Keshi:
Yes they say it but not sure if we really have to fall for it coz you know something, it is a nice experience provided it is when you meet a nice individual.
@Aditi:
Bang! On the button. I am with you on the last line.
@PS:
Yea we all know it but mabbe the doc's got a point too esp when the anxiety turns to depression after the girl/guy rejects you.
@Nitya:
LOL! I don't know about that part of the hell. But they said it and I relayed it and heck don't kill the messenger.
@Smarty:
:D. Better safe than sorry they said. So I am just extra cautious that is all. And a typical medical student, look at how much of medical jargon you just threw at me. :-(
Hi Dear,
I too read this article published around 2 days backs..
And i agree, i have seen one o my friend going throgh the same situation.
When ever she use to have a fight with her bf, she losses her sleep and does affect her health. I have seen her health declining bcoz of this..
Hope, people will understand this soon..
Take care
