Being Loved is Healthy

Sometimes reports that are aimed at a specific topic sometimes reveal other issues never even thought of. In a study reported by the DailyMail done in Italy over an eight year period that tracked almost 1700 men to monitor their health. Although the men had been treated for various levels of erectile dysfunction, the main objective was to look at the risk of stroke or heart disease and relationships.

Here are some of the variables that came to light that were unexpected; men are less likely to have a heart attack that have a partner that finds them attractive. The opposite was found for those whose partner found them undesirable. In fact, these men that were found less desirable were as likely to have a coronary problem as those who were overweight and smoked, even if they were NOT overweight or didn’t smoke.

Relationships are essential for human beings
The Italian researchers surmised that being desired by your partner is more than fun, but it also benefits your overall health. They believe close relationships are essential for human beings, that feeling loved has a physical as well as a psychological benefit.

This would make someone we all know like Michael Douglas, 65, very happy. In a recent interview, his younger wife of nine years Catherine Zeta-Jones, 40, said she remained attracted to Douglas. “He knows exactly what he wants and what life is about. That impresses me. Michael can also be a real softie. He sends me flowers and cries when his kids say something particularly pathetic. I need a man who is sensitive and caring” she said.

All of the almost 1700 men were asked for a three month period whether or not they or their partners had more or less desire to have sex. They had a scoring system to measure the levels of libido.

A number of known factors appeared.
The instance of stroke high blood pressure, or heart disease was higher for those that smoked and or were overweight. But the surprise was the results that showed men whose partner had low sexual desire for them had almost a 3 times more likelihood of stroke, cardiovascular problems, or heart attack.

University of Florence Dr. Giovanni Corona summed it up with this statement, “A broken heart really is bad for your heart.” It had always been thought that organic factors were the reasons behind hypertension or diabetes, but their research is the first to show a link to actual relationships between people.

Being loved not only boosts our happiness, but also our overall health and well being.
