Valentine’s Day isn’t just a day to give roses; it’s also a day to understand the heartbeat that beats within us every moment. Science says that when we’re happy, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin increase in our bodies. These hormones lower blood pressure, balance heart rate, and reduce the risk of heart disease by 22%. The heart isn’t just driven by blood, it’s also driven by emotions. When stress is reduced, cortisol decreases, blood vessels relax, inflammation decreases, and the heart gets a chance to repair itself.
Take care of your heart
People who think positively, sleep better, and exercise more often have hearts that are not only happy but also strong. This Valentine’s Day, don’t just say “I love you,” but also tell your heart that “I will take care of you.” To achieve this, it’s important to eat on time, walk for 30 minutes daily, sleep for 7-8 hours, minimize stress, and get regular health checkups. Love lasts as long as the heart beats.
