[Ben Carson News] Hormones Stimulate Feelings of Love By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs One theory about the origins of romantic love (other than the evolutionary mandate to continue the species) says it emerged about 5 million years ago when our ancestors developed specialized hormones and neurotransmitters that enhanced cognition and altered our emotions. But what exactly is getting stimulated in your brain when you fall in love that can knock you off your feet and fill you with delight and joy? Special: [Worst Habit for Memory Loss â Stop Doing This]( A recent study out of Australia explains that the hormone oxytocin â the bonding hormone â lays the foundation. It's made in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Touch, gaze, and even sound can stimulate its production. In women, oxytocin affects organs such as the uterus and tissue in the breast, and impacts childbirth and lactation. In men, it's thought to influence libido and orgasm. In both sexes, it acts as a chemical messenger in the brain, influencing behavior. But it is the addition of large amounts of the hormone/neurotransmitter dopamine, stimulated by doing something pleasurable, that the researchers found creates the euphoric feeling of being in love. And that's not all this two-hormone stew can do for you. Oxytocin helps cultivate the generosity and empathy that are important for emotional and cognitive development, and dopamine strengthens motivation and focus. This Valentine's Day when you and your sweetheart share a moment of bliss, give thanks for the intense emotional hug that being in love provides â and that it enhances your ability to navigate through sometimes less-than-loving challenges in the world at large. ---------------------------------------------------------------
SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL Why do some people stay sharp as a whip as they get older, while others have trouble recalling names, dates, and even conversations? New research from Harvard University suggests age may not be the culprit. And one Boston medical doctor now says memory problems are often caused by the foods you're eating â or NOT eating. Dr. George Karanastasis, MD says: "Your brain is like a luxury car. It requires premium fuel to create new brain cells, recall memories, and focus on tasks. And where does it get that fuel? From the foods you eat." However, Dr. K says most people eat far too many foods that harm our brains â like foods containing sugar and trans fats â and not enough good foods that help our brains. He says: "The science is clear: foods high in refined sugar and trans fats can harm your memory. And considering that sugar is found in nearly 75% of foods on supermarket shelves, it's no wonder why so many people suffer from memory issues." Fortunately, Dr. K developed a simple protocol that can help fight memory loss without making any major dietary changes. It just requires adding [these 3 foods back into your diet.]( "These 3 foods are like jet fuel for your brain. They protect your brain while delivering your brain the nutrients it needs to stay firing-on-all-cylinders," he remarked. Dr. K just released a video revealing these foods. And since the video was released, it's gone viral, racking up more than 1 million views. And people around the country are singing the praises of this life-saving protocol. "People keep telling me: 'Dr. K, I feel so much sharper and smarter. Even my family noticed.' Itâs wonderful to hear how many lives this protocol has changed," Dr. K says. Now, what about you? Are you concerned about your memory? How would you like to take back control of your life? If so, watch the video at the link below and try this protocol for yourself. You'll discover which foods can help make sure your brain lasts as long as your body. ==> [3 Foods That Fight Memory Loss...]( References: 1Sun FW, Stepanovic MR, Andreano J, Barrett LF, Touroutoglou A, Dickerson BC.
