The Secret To Anti-Aging

According to scientific research, love could be the secret to anti-aging! Many people believe that love is more valuable than money. There is strong evidence that suggests that if you want to lead a truly happy life, nothing is more important than love. As social beings, we need to connect with others. Forming loving relationships creates a sense of belonging and interconnectedness that reduces feelings of isolation and depression.

Having loving relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners is good for our mental and physical wellness. It is a misconception that with age we lose interest in intimacy and love.  Aging does not diminish our desire to give and receive love. If anything, aging has provided us with a perspective we didn’t have in our younger years.

Our wisdom and life experiences affect our viewpoint on ageless love. The kind of relationship we want now differs from what we wanted in our earlier years.  It is less about physical attraction and more about the person. It is less about excitement and more about calmness and depth.  Our expectations are less. It is more about getting to know each other and accepting our differences. We have a better idea of what we want out of ourselves and others. 

This is not to say that we aren’t physically attracted or feel excitement about love interests.  On the contrary, in their 2017 report, the National Poll on Healthy Aging found that” 76% of adults age 65-80 agreed that sex is an important part of a romantic relationship, at any age.” Our desire for intimacy does not decrease with age. Positive intimate relationships have numerous health and mental wellness benefits.  These include lower stress, boosts in the immune system, lower blood pressure, and improved sleep. 

It is also true that romantic love makes you feel good. Physiological reactions to love include increased brain activity that releases dopamine and the hormone oxytocin. This is evidence that being in love “makes you feel good.” We all know that when we feel good, we look better, have more energy, and make better health decisions.

It is Valentine’s Day this week. Whether you are in a committed relationship or have your eye on a new love, there is no better time than the present to express your feelings. Allow yourself to open your heart and tell someone how much you care about them. It will make you look and feel younger. And it will make both of you feel terrific!

Find the space and time to make love a priority. Not only does it have numerous health benefits, but love is part of a positive, holistic aging practice.  Discover the endless possibilities of aging.
