It’s the middle of winter, and summer seems too far off to be real. So, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get excited about something, let’s say … love and relationships! Feeling positive emotions, like love, does great things for our hearts. But it doesn’t stop with the heart. There are lots of reasons to open our hearts to Cupid’s arrow—or gratitude, friendship, and family. The myth is that Valentines Day is all about romantic love, but that’s not necessarily so. Social connections with friends and family offer tons of health benefits too. Whether it’s romantic love or shared love with family, friends, or even pets, there’s a lot to celebrate this February 14.
