每个人都渴望甜蜜的爱情，因为爱情会让人快乐，但除此以外，爱情还能让你更健康。
一项新研究发现，恋爱中的女人不容易得感冒。
研究人员发现，陷入爱河与特定基因的活动增加有关，尤其是和病毒防御有关的基因。
换言之，爱情能帮助我们抗击风寒和流感病毒。
这项小型研究让47名女性每周填写一次调查问卷，并在两年内抽取血样，抽血的时间依据她们的恋爱进度而定。
参加调查的女性都必须是刚开始一段新恋情，具体条件是谈恋爱不到一个月。
在研究开展的过程中，恋爱的女人体内的免疫基因活动增加了，而不恋爱的女人身上则观察不到这种情况。
该团队还打算将爱情对男性的影响也纳入研究范围，并希望能够”绘制出伴随人的恋情开始和进展的生理变化表”。
