For today we will talk about again how our bodies change when we are in love with another person. As you know when you love someone you are more attached to them, but the question is how? what is happening in our body that causes us to be with the person more and more? The answer to this question is not a easy one, but some things that have been found to help answer these questions come from a psychologist that found that "heart rhythms, facial expressions, and hand gestures begin to synchronize in long-term lovers—a process largely regulated by the vagus nerve , which winds from the brain to the heart."(Smith, Jeremy) This is incredible to think that when you love someone for a long amount of time, you come together and begin to in a way become one, our heart beats match the person we love, hand gestures become the same, it's amazing how much of an impact love can have on us and  our bodies.
