She Calms Us Down:
A study that happened in 2010 explains that hearing your mom's voice helps relieve stress because it releases oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that makes you feel good. This makes talking to your mom very similar to receiving a hug from her.
She Impacts Our Brain Development:
According to research, your mother's nurturing and loving behavior may result in a larger hippocampus. The hippocampus is the area of your brain which is in charge of learning, memory, and stress responses.
She Makes Us Laugh:
Cortisol is the stress hormone, and studies prove that laughing helps reduce it, possible even reducing deceases. Laughter is the best medicine, after all! And, if anyone knows how to make you laugh, it is your mother.
Your Bond With Her Could Result In Better Romantic Relationships:
Again, a 2010 study shows that having a good relationship with your mother could positively influence your future relationships, while having a bad relationship with her could negatively influence them.
She Is The First Person To Love Us:
After analyzing a mother's brain after giving birth, it can be concluded that becoming a parent looks a lot like falling in love. To put in other words, a similar social bonding process occurs.
Hopefully, you have a deeper understanding about how and why having a mom (maternal figure) makes us happier. And, Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's in the world!
