Falling in love literally changes women's bodies, scientists say
Being bitten by the “love bug” isn’t just a poetic expression anymore.
Scientists have found that falling head over heels for someone causes women in particular to produce a specific kind of protein.
“New romantic love is accompanied not only by psychological changes, but physiological changes as well,” UCLA researchers wrote, according to The Sunday Times.
The scientists took blood samples from 47 young, newly enamored women and found that their bodies were producing interferon, a protein typically deployed to fight viruses.
When the flame starts to die out, the body’s interferon levels taper off, researchers found.
Men weren’t included in the study, but the authors indicated they want to like to study them next.
