The health benefits of being in love:

Love makes you smarter:
Falling in love induces a calming effect on the body and mind by raising levels of nerve growth for about a year. This hormone-like substance helps to restore the nervous system and improves memory by triggering the growth of new brain cells. 

Love helps fight cancer:
A new study from the University of Iowa found that ovarian cancer patients with a strong sense of connection to others and satisfying relationships had more vigorous "natural killer" cell activity at the site of their tumours than those who didn't have those social ties.

Love makes you live longer:

love can increase and extending our life spans and improving our mental health states, including reducing depression, for those who focus their attention on giving or helping others...

Love can lower your cholesterol:
Expressing your feelings of affection can reduce cholesterol levels.
