Few people know about the origins of kisses. There is an opinion that this way you can exchange internal energy. In ancient times, it was believed that with the kiss there is a tangle of two souls, and if people who are in love with each other are engaged in this, then their souls are married. But, undoubtedly, the most romantic origin of this process was suggested by Plato. He believed that earlier all people looked the same, namely they represented a certain creature in the form of a ball, with four hands and the same number of legs, and also two heads. It would seem that such a creation is terrible, but, nevertheless, it was self-sufficient and happy. And once the famous Olympic Thunderer Zeus, angry, divided this creation in half. Since then, these halves are looking for themselves and only with the help of a kiss can they understand whether this soul is related or not.

To date, the process of kissing and the changes taking place at this time in the human brain are being closely studied by various specialists, including psychologists. It has been scientifically proven that during a three-minute kiss of lovers, about 12 kcal are lost, and a huge number of different bacteria and microelements are transmitted with saliva. Moreover, a special hormone begins to develop, which is several hundred times greater than even morphine. Interestingly, according to statistics, on average, the kiss lasts about 45 seconds and involves more than 30 facial muscles, which actually contributes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
