When we fall in love, we feel butterflies in our stomachs. This expression does not mean that hundreds of butterflies flutter through our bodies when we fall in love.Nor is it a metaphor or a casual phrase.Have you ever considered the true meaning of this phrase?
What are butterflies in the stomach?
The explanation to this sensation of feeling butterflies in the stomach when we fall in love is not romantic. Our stomach has a very close relationship with our brain , so it is easy for us to lose our appetite for a sad situation or to have our stomach removed from something unpleasant.
When we fall in love, produces in our body a yes Stress tuacion , which causes that sensation of butterflies in the stomach.When we are facing that special person, our body is stressed.That is, it increases the alertness and increases the heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate.In parallel, the nervous system stimulates the adrenal glands, which release hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.Both are related to stress and muscle tension and sweating.All this are automatic and primitive mechanisms of our body , which does not know how to differentiate a dangerous situation from one that simply intimidates us.Very romantic everything, right?
Various studies state that in The stomach has a second brain, which supports all the explanation of why we feel butterflies in the stomach when we fall in love.Neither more nor less than 100 million neurons reside in our stomach! The combination of the reaction of the brain with the stomach makes that tingling sensation take place.
Is it dangerous?
But don't worry now you are welcome! Feeling that tingling is not dangerous or bad for us, our body or our health.It is absolutely normal! Unless it is something very common and you have that feeling every day on an ongoing basis.In this case it could be some type of anxiety disorder or some other related to the stomach and nerves.If so, you should consult the specialist.Or maybe you are an exaggeratedly enamored person!
Can that feeling recover?
There are many people who miss that feeling in their relationships. They want back to feel butterflies in the stomach but the couple's routine, the years of relationship and the day to day prevent it.
The solution is not to change partners and look for other relationships.Did you know that you can return to feel them if you consider doing new and daring things with your partner or reliving old memories? Sometimes just a little imagination is enough!
Did you know that science also has scientific explanations for how to fall in love and fall in love? No doubt...This is not suitable for romantics! But for the curious!
