The impact of love and care on human health has been studied for many years. Especially the connection between stress and emotional state with cardiovascular diseases is in the focus of doctors. Experts state that a person's psychological state can directly affect the heart's activity.
Samir Asgarov, a cardiologist at Referans Mardakan Hospital, told Modern.az that lack of love and continuous stress are among the main factors increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases:
“The more stress a person's p is under, the higher the risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart attack. The main reason for this is the cortisol hormone secreted during stress. Cortisol narrows blood vessels, increases blood clotting, and as a result negatively affects the functioning of the cardiovascular system.”
According to the doctor, happy relationships and emotional attachment, on the contrary, protect heart health:
“Studies show that love and care increase the level of oxytocin hormone in the human p. Oxytocin reduces the stress hormone, protects the cardiovascular system, and even affects the reduction of fat and cholesterol accumulated in the vessel walls.”
Samir Asgarov noted that the daily care people show to each other also plays an important role for health:
“Simple attention and care make a person feel happier. This helps to improve sleep, reduce stress, and stabilize heart activity.”
The cardiologist stated that international studies have determined that married and happy people are less exposed to cardiovascular diseases:
“Married and happy people are less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. Social support and emotional comfort play an important role here.”
He added that love is not limited to romantic relationships:
“The attention and care a person receives from loved ones, friendships, and even attachment to pets are also factors that make a person happy.”
Samir Asgarov finally emphasized that love is not only an emotional feeling, but also a biochemical process that affects the human p.
