You may know there are many kinds of love. Most people feel love for their family members. 21 These kinds of love, however, have at least one thing in common — they influence our brains.
When a person feels love, chemicals(化学物质) in the brain may increase, which helps control part of the body. For example, when you see someone you have a crush on(迷恋), your heart may beat faster. You may have butterflies in your stomach. 22 You may even not be able to think, make decisions, or even communicate.
Why do people feel love? Many experts believe it's rooted in survival(根源在于生存). After all, most people first feel love for family members. Families and close friends take care of and protect each other. 23 It can help people feel less stressed and have lower blood pressure. Spending time with loved ones can also help people live longer as well.
With all this talk about love, maybe someone you care about is on your mind. 24 There are plenty of ways! You can express(表达) love by sharing, showing admiration(赞赏) and support, being a good listener, or giving a hug. Of course, words work just fine, too! 25 If you don't know what to do, just ask yourself: What actions make you feel loved?
