LOVE (a view through science)

If you've ever been in love, you've probably at least considered classifying the feeling as an addiction. And guess what: You were right. As it turns out, scientists are discovering that the same chemical process that takes place with addiction takes place when we fall in love.

Love is a chemical state of mind that's part of our genes and influenced by our upbringing. We are wired for romance in part because we are supposed to be loving parents who care diligently for our helpless babies.

The chemicals that race around in our brain when we're in love serve several purposes, and the primary goal is the continuation of our species. Those chemicals are what make us want to form families and have children. Once we have children, those chemicals change to encourage us to stay together to raise those children. So in a sense, love really is a chemical addiction that occurs to keep us reproducing

That initial giddiness that comes when we're first falling in love includes a racing heart,

 flushed skin and sweaty palms. Researchers say this is due to the dopamine, nor epinephrine

 and phenylalanine we're releasing. Dopamine is thought to be the "pleasure chemical," 

producing a feeling of bliss. Nor epinephrine is similar to adrenaline and produces the racing

 heart and excitement. According to Helen Fisher, anthropologist and well-known love researcher

 from Rutgers University, together these two chemicals produce elation, intense energy, 

sleeplessness, craving, loss of appetite and focused attention. She also says, "The human body

releases the cocktail of love rapture only when certain conditions are met and ... men more 

readily produce it than women, because of their more visual nature.

The existence of human pheromones was discovered in 1986 by scientists at the Chemical

 Senses Center in Philadelphia and its counterpart in France. They found these chemicals in human sweat. A human VNO has also been found in some, but not all, people. Even if the VNO isn't present in all of us -- and may not be working in those who do have it -- there is still evidence that smell is an important aspect of love (note the booming perfume industry). An experiment was conducted where a group of females smelled the unwashed tee shirts of a group of sweaty males, and each had to select the one to whom she was most "attracted." Just like in the animal world, the majority of the females chose a shirt from the male whose immune system was the most different from their own.

A New Year's resolution is a commitment to a personal goal that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day.

Popular goals include resolutions to:

• Improve health: lose weight, exercise more, eat better, drink less alcohol, quit smoking
