Romeo and Juliet, together these two form the chemistry of love. The common symptoms of love, including sweaty palms, shaky knees and general restlessness, are caused by a natural chemical, Phenylethylamine (commonly dubbed the `love molecule', PEA). Its release from the brain can be triggered from deceptively simple actions like the meeting of the eyes or touching of the hands.
One of my friend is a chemistry gal, I have lots of discussion with her, those discussion tends me to relate small things with chemistry. Today when i read one article about love and passion in our new generation, how self generated chemical fills love in our lives. I found one interesting thing that love is all about chemistry, the more chemicals your body generates the more you fall in love. In simple English, it is a "natural drug" that can give us a total kick. When we fall in love, this PEA chemical gets released into our bodies and turns us into total love junkies. Our palms begin to sweat, our hearts begin to palpitate, and our minds become filled with loving thoughts. We become attached to our beloved of desire and want to spend 24/7 with them.
Love, like all things bound to the universe, is non existent without some amount of chemistry attached to it. Cupid’s arrows would never have been effective if they had not been first dipped in one unromantically named chemical- phenylethylamine(PEA). We have two more chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines. Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine stimulates the production of adrenaline, makes your heart race! These three chemicals combine to give us LOVE or "chemistry." It is why lovers feel euphoric and energized, and float on air. It is also why lovers can make love for hours and talk all night for weeks on end. More...
