Love is a crazy thing. It does things to the mind, body and soul one can never truly understand until immersed in it fully. Laura Schaefer, author of Man with Farm Seeks Woman with Tractor: The Best and Worst Personal Ads of All Time, provides us with 25 fascinating facts that will leave the most noted love expert intrigued:
- Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't.
- Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover's memory.
- A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex.
- People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin — as low as levels seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps that's why it's so easy to feel obsessed when you're smitten.
