<\/a>\nAspirin could be the best remedy<\/strong><\/p>\n
As it turns out, scientists believe popping a couple of aspirin as you would for a headache from a hangover might be the best remedy to get over a recent break-up.<\/p>\n
According to Psychology Professor Walter Mischel, of Columbia University, researchers have found that psychological pain associated with a break-up is similar to physical pain and should be treated as such. In other words, you should treat both the same way \u2013 with a pain reliever like aspirin.<\/p>\n

Discussing your feelings can slow recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n Professor Mischel also strongly believes that the more you discuss your feelings with others, the more you\u2019ll increase your odds of depression and suggests keeping the brooding to a minimum. Furthermore, the professor adds, \u201cWhen you look at a picture of the one who broke your heart, you experience a pain in a similar area of the brain which is activated when you burn your arm.\u201d Of course, don\u2019t try this at home.<\/p>\n Professor Mischel stands behind the old physician advice to \u201ctake two aspirins and call me in the morning\u201d. Since Professor Mischel states there is a solid basis for the medicinal recommendation, he\u2019s confident it can be helpful in providing relief for the broken-hearted.<\/p>\n In fact, some people actually get worse by continuing to discuss the subject. The more anxiety and stress you put on yourself by talking about your shattered heart, the higher your chance of developing serious health issues. And, if you don\u2019t have health insurance<\/a>, it could be an expensive endeavour should you become ill as a result of your heartbreak.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
