Most processes in the human body are regulated by hormones – including love and affection. Scientific research shows that it only takes a few minutes for the brain to fall in love. At the same time, the key factors in the “birth of love” are body signals (55%), followed by the tone and tempo of the voice (38%), while the words directly spoken are the least important (7%).

Chronically high cortisol levels are a very dangerous condition. This hormone affects the immune system (by inhibiting it), the cardiovascular system (leading to an increase in blood pressure), as well as the body’s ability to absorb fast carbohydrates – and even mood.
