Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. This is a time of love and romance. Everywhere you look, you see the color red, hearts, chocolate, flowers, and all sorts of stuffed animals to spark the romance. Although performing romantic gestures for the ones we love can make us feel good, new research suggests simply thinking of our loved one is enough to help lower our blood pressure.
The study suggests that when faced with a stressful situation, start to think of the one that you love and you will experience a drop in blood pressure similar to if the person was in the room with you.
