Ah, Amore! Surprisingly being in love has tangible health benefits for both mind and body. Research shows a clear link between strong relationships and longevity. It is also very fitting that the symbol for love is a heart, given that couples experience half the risk of death from heart disease.
It is not just your heart that benefits, your lungs are also protected against complications, like pneumonia. A healthy relationship also has less stress, lowering blood pressure and strengthening your immune system.
