The heart is the centre of our physical health - without it we literally could not survive. It is also responsible for a large amount of our emotional health as falling in love is something that is important to all of us.

Scientists have discovered that there are three main stages to love and there are various hormones at work during each one. They are:-

• Lust
• Attraction
• Attachment

Unsurprisingly, it is the latter one that is the tricky one to master but if you can you are more likely to have a long and healthy relationship. If you are a teenager reading this, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how cynical you are) you will experience stage two much stronger than adults. The hormone released at this point is actually the same one that you get when taking cocaine or other similar drug meaning that you can quite literally be addicted to love! In the case of first love, the chances of having a good crack at stage three is much less likely than in adults and the average length of a relationship is 3 to 4 months at the stage. However, they are valuable for the learning process even if they are not lasting relationships and help to get the best from our next relationship.
