Love can ease pain, say brain researchers

Researchers believe love can act as a painkiller Love hurts, at least according to many a romantic songwriter, but it may also help ease pain, US scientists suggest. Brain scans suggest many of the areas normally involved in pain response are also activated by amorous thoughts.
Stanford University researchers gave 15 students mild doses of pain, while checking if they were distracted by gazing at photos of their beloved.
The study focused on people early in a romance, journal PLoS One reported, so the ‘drug of love’ may wear off.

Can passion beat pain?

“‘Love can block pain in a similar way to morphine,’ the Daily Mirror reported. It said that a study has found that feelings of love, triggered by seeing a lover’s picture, flooded volunteer’s brains with painkilling dopamine.

This small study in 15 volunteers found that viewing pictures of a romantic partner while undergoing different levels of painful stimuli reduced their feelings of pain. Reduced pain levels were also associated with the activation of certain ‘reward-processing’ regions of the brain, similar to the process that occurs with pain-relieving medicines.

Bad Relationships

“Being and dealing with bad relationships is a very painful experience. The following article will provide you some tips of recognizing and then dealing with bad relationships effectively.
In a fantasy world, people get in a relationship because they fall in love with someone and cannot survive without him/her. In the real and practical world, people get in relationship for two reasons. One is because they are aware that they will have minimum adjustment problems with the other person, and they know they have a few things in common which is why they won’t have to curb their ‘self’. They also know that they wouldn’t have to face fights that happen every now and then due to nature differences. And the second reason is exactly the opposite, people find another person who is exactly opposite to them, they find him/her interesting and subconsciously take it as a challenge to live happily”

Office Love

I probably should have known better, but a few years ago I started working at the same company where the guy I was dating worked. For a while everything was lovely, but then we hit an impasse: I wanted to know where the relationship was going; he didn’t want it to go anywhere, and he dumped me.

Despite the risk of such emotional pandemonium, experts say more than 70 percent of single employees will get romantically involved with someone from work at some point in their career. It only makes sense: You have shared interests, you understand his work schedule, and when you have nothing to talk about you can gossip about your coworkers.
