THE POWER OF LOVE
Love Really Can Be a Drug
It’s crazy to think that being head over heels, madly in love with someone can benefit your body in the same way that broccoli can, but it’s true! Science has proven that being in love comes with myriad health benefits. Fewer colds and natural pain control? Yes, please!
about headaches and back pain. When your mind is happy, your immune system is stronger, making you less prone to getting a cold or stomach bug. Some research has even shown that happily married couples live longer than those
who are not happily married. The hormone vasopressin helps to control your blood
Love triggers the “feel good” hormone, dopamine. When you first fall in love — and the butterflies are flying uncontrollably — dopamine is at very high levels, and mentally, you’re happy, healthy, and positive. As the relationship matures, oxytocin, also known as the bonding hormone, blends with dopamine and reduces stress. We all know that stress can lead to a number of health complications, so the less stress, the better! New research has found that just being around someone you love can act as a natural pain reliever. Research has also determined that married people complain less
pressure. Being in love releases vasopressin into your body, keeping your blood pressure at a healthy level. Both your heart and lungs are also impacted by the love you have for another. If you aren’t in love, you can still reap the benefits through a strong and healthy social support system. When you have friends who bring you joy and happiness, even just a hug may help to release positive hormones and keep your health on track. Take time to invest in positive relationships to keep your heart and body healthy and happy, both literally and figuratively.
So, what are you waiting for? Let the love flow!
Introducing Bailey!
OUR NEW FRONT OFFICE AMBASSADOR
Many of you have already met Bailey, our new front office ambassador, and if you have, you likely already know that she’s a real sweetheart with a fun sense of humor. Bailey is originally from Oklahoma and moved to Nashville in high school. She earned her business degree from Belmont University and used to be a “travel clogger.” We have been encouraging her to put on a show for the office sometime! Before working with us here, she worked at Vanderbilt Walk-In Clinic as a patient services specialist. Bailey tells us that one of her favorite parts about working at Music City Plastic Surgery is that, unlike her previous employment where you only
saw patients once, she has the opportunity here to see the same beautiful faces over and over again. “The office is tight-knit with a family feel. We are very close with all of our patients, and having the opportunity to build a relationship with each and every one of them is second to none,” Bailey says. Outside of work, Bailey loves spending time with her Yorkie, Nash, and is a huge movie buff. We are grateful to welcome Bailey to the Music City Plastic Surgery team — she already fits right in!
