Both Romans and Ancient Greeks understood the positive effect of love in their lives. We're reminded of this concept today. But, love isn’t for everyone. Even worse, love can have negative consequences. These are the three best ways to find love for you and your spouse.
Ancient Greeks
Ancient Greeks realized that love was born from the heart. So they prayed and called upon the Muses to help them. Many of their poems include references to love in their poetry and myths. Sappho, who was a poet from Lesbos in Greece, wrote a poem called "Ode at Aphrodite", where she asks Aphrodite to help her win back the love of the life.
Ancient Greeks believed that eight types of love could be found in the heart. The human heart shape is one the most iconic ideographs. There are many theories about how and when the heart shape formed originally, but the most compelling revolves around the silphium flower. Although the silphium is no longer in existence, ancient Greeks & Romans used the plant to manage fertility and soothe their stomachs.
Positive affect
Love can have many health benefits including the positive effects on your heart. In fact, falling for someone you love can increase your heart beat and blood flow through your sexual organs. While this may sound like a good thing, falling in love may also pose a risk to your heart. Your heart rate can accelerate if you fall in love.
Researchers found that people who have higher levels of positive emotion had lower chances of having stroke or heart disease. People with positive affect also had lower total cholesterol levels and were less likely smoke. People who were happy were also less likely to show hostility or anxiety, according to the researchers. You are not only happier if you feel happy, but you also have a better chance of being healthy based on the activities you do.
