Do you know what an elixir is? It’s a magical substance or force believed to possess special powers that bring about positive effects.
And you know that love is everything magical, right? Love is not just a word but a force of nature.
It is essential to note that when I talk about love here, I don’t mean just professing it; I mean acting it out. After all, the word “love” is a verb, which makes it an action or doing word. 
I’m a lover; I love love, I love to be loved, and I love to love too. And I must say, there’s nothing quite like it.
Think about the feeling you get when you’re in love. That feeling when you know that there are people who adore you, that alone is your antidote because you’ll always be an overwhelming sense of happiness.
Love is like a blood tonic that keeps you healthy and glowing! So this article is all about exploring how this powerful elixir improves your happiness and overall well-being.
And I hope that at the end of this article, you’ll be more intentional in nurturing the love in your life, whether it’s family, close friends, or someone special.
Love and Happiness
It has been said time and again that love takes you to a happy place.
When you’re in love, your brain releases two special hormones: oxytocin and dopamine. These are the “feel-good” hormones that make you feel happy and warm inside.
So when you are basking in love, your brain keeps releasing these hormones, and you find yourself living a life of happiness.
Love and Mental Health
Love is essential for your mental health. When you feel loved and supported, it is rare for you to develop anxiety and depression.
Do you know why? Because love boosts your self-esteem and resilience. It makes you see the positive things about yourself and the world around you.
Love gives you a sense of purpose, motivation, and direction, knowing that you are part of something larger than yourself.
It also helps you cope with stress and adversity during difficult times. , This is because you find strength and support from people who love you just like Celine Dion pointed out in her song titled “Because You Loved Me.”
Love and Physical Health
Research shows that people in loving relationships tend to have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and a stronger immune system. They are also less likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
One reason for this is that love helps to reduce stress. Typically, stress pushes your body to release harmful hormones that can damage your health over time, but, as stated above, love provides you with strength and support to help you pull through any stressful situation.
Being in loving relationships also encourages you to take good care of yourself, practice a healthy diet, regular exercise, and better sleep.
