Reverse Your Biological Age Through Love
Posted by Ken Lauher
Love is the essence of life. For human beings, love is as essential as food and water, and without it, we cannot survive. Love is not just a psychological experience; love transforms biology.
Mammalian babies from bunnies to chimpanzees fail to develop normally if they are deprived of their mother's love. Although we are not usually accustomed to considering love in scientific terms, over the past twenty-five years, scientific studies have provided indisputable evidence that the experience of love has profound life-supporting effects on our physiology.
Scientific studies show that by merely observing acts of compassion, your immunity is enhanced. David McClelland of Harvard University found that college students increase their production of salivary antibodies when watching a film of Mother Teresa comforting a child, whereas their antibody levels are depressed when watching war scenes.
David Spiegel's studies from Stanford University have taught us that women facing metastatic cancer who participate in caring support groups live, on average, twice as long as those who do not. We know that men suffering from heart attacks who believe that their wives love them do better than those who don't, and a simple monthly phone call from a caring cardiac nurse can double the survival time of a heart patient.
Even studies with animals found that tenderness and affection can reduce their risk for disease. In an intriguing study from Ohio State University, two groups of rabbits were fed a high-cholesterol diet. In one group the rabbits were regularly petted and cuddled by the animal technicians. Rabbits in the other group, fed the identical diet, did not receive any petting.
At the completion of the study, the rabbits that were treated tenderly had only 10 percent as much fat deposits into their blood vessels as their touch-deficient peers. Love is metabolized into physiology and can make the difference between health and sickness, life and death.
These scientific reports do not surprise most of us. We have all known the exuberance and vitality that we experience when we feel loved. Most of us also know the anguish and despair that come from separation and rejection.
People suffering the loss of love have changes in chemistry of their brains that influence every cell in their body. These changes substantially increase their risk for a wide range of illnesses, from cancer to heart disease.
Similarly, the exhilaration, enthusiasm, and comfort generated by love create life-affirming transformations that enliven both emotional and physical well-being. Love makes us feel good because it creates the biology of delight, joy, and safety. Love is healing, love is nourishing, love is good for us. Love transforms biology.
