Chemistry of Falling in Love


Image by: Public

We all know the feeling of euphoria when things go right and the awful mood swings when they do not.

 
  Falling in love gives you many symptoms like loosing appetite, loosing sleep, loosing the ability to concentrate.
 
You might also experience the feeling that you master everything and you can keep going through 24 hours.
 
The monoamines released are responsible for this.
 
Dopamine has to do with the pleasure system of the brain.
 
Other compounds are natural amphetamines and thus stimulating.
 
Serotonin  controls impulses giving you the sense of being in control while other compounds cause the heart to beat faster and the blood pressure to rise – if you touch or even look at your love.
 
 

Forelskelsens Kemi
 
Vi kender alle euforien, når ting flasker sig, og vi kender de væmmelige humørsvingninger, når de ikke gør. Forelskelse medfører mange symptomer som tab af appetit, søvnløshed eller tab af evnen til koncentration.
 
Men du kan også opleve følelsen af at kunne alt og holde dig gående døgnet rundt.
 
De udskilte monoaminer forbindes med dette.
 
Dopamin forbindes med glædesfølelse.
 
Andre forbindelser er naturlige stimulanter.
 
Serotonin har at gøre med følelsen at være i kontrol, mens andre forbindelser får dit hjerte til at banke og blodtrykket til at stige – når du berører eller blot ser på din kæreste.
