If you thought that the only
benefit of sex was, well, pleasure,
here's some news for you. Making
love is good for adults. And making
love regularly is even better.
Not only does it help you sleep
well, relieve stress and burn
calories, there are also several
other reasons why you need to
have sex more often.
Improves cardiovascular health
A
recent study says that men who
have sex more than twice a week,
have a lesser risk of getting a heart
attack, than men who had sex less
than once a month.
Increases immunity Regular
lovemaking increases the level of
the immune-boosting antibody
immunoglobulin A (IgA), which in
turn makes your body stronger
against illnesses like the common
cold and fever.
Reduces stress Stressed out with
work or family problems? Don't let
it affect your performance in the
bedroom. Not only will having sex
improve your mood, but a study
has also proven that folks, who
indulge in regular bedroom
activities can handle stress better
and are happier people.
Relieves pain If you're using a
headache as an excuse to not make
love, stop doing that. Have sex
instead, because, when you're
about to have an orgasm, the level
of the hormone oxytocin increases
by five times. This endorphin
actually reduces aches and pains.
Promotes longevity When one has
an orgasm, a hormone called
dehydroepiandrosterone is
released. This improves immunity,
repairs tissue and keeps the skin
healthy. Men, who have at least
two orgasms a week, live longer
than men who have sex just once
every few weeks.
Increases blood circulation
Because your heart rate increases
when you have sex, fresh blood is
supplied to your organs and cells.
While used blood is removed, the
body also expels toxins and other
materials that cause you to feel
tired.
You sleep better The sleep that
you get just after you've made love
will be much more relaxed. Getting
a good night's sleep will make you
feel alert and overall healthy.
Improves body fitness
If you
find going to the gym mundane or
working out at home a task, here's
another way to help you lose the
flab and keep in shape. Regular sex
will do wonders for your waistline.
Half an hour of lovemaking burns
more than 80 calories.
Increases levels of Oestrogen and
testosterone In men, the hormone
testosterone is what makes them
more passionate in the sack. Not
only will it make you feel way
better in bed, but it also improves
your muscles and bones, keeps your
heart healthy and keeps a check on
your cholesterol. In women, on the
other hand, the hormone oestrogen
protects them against heart disease
and also determines a woman's
body scent
