Your Brain in Love: How Romantic Attraction Alters the Brain

In the springtime, the natural world bursts into life and seems to shine a little brighter just as our interest in finding a romantic partner begins to light up our brains a little brighter. There are some scientific reasons for this shift in focus and readiness for attachment. As the days get longer, we enjoy more sunshine, and our vitamin D intake naturally increases. Vitamin D not only helps build strong bones, it also increases the effectiveness of our immune system, which can pay off in feeling better overall. But it also boosts our mood, which helps us see the world from a more positive perspective. We feel more optimistic about life and, if you’re looking, more optimistic about finding a partner.
