  • Because it dilates blood vessels, kissing can alleviate headache and menstrual cramps

5 Reasons Sex Is Fabulous For Your Health

The most pleasurable activity on earth is also a vital component to a healthy lifestyle

Sex Is Good For Your Heart Studies show that this incredibly fun way to raise our heart rate cuts risk of heart attack and stroke by 50% when we get busy at least twice a week. Sex also helps balance testosterone and estrogen levels. Low levels of these hormones lead to health issues including heart disease and osteoporosis

Sex Relieves Stress & Anxiety This is an obvious one, we’re all familiar with that euphoric feeling good sex leaves us with. It does more than just make us feel good, our circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems relax right after sex. Even hugging and touching release our body’s feel good hormones

Sexual Activity Boosts Your Immune System Knocking boots 1 – 2 times a week is shown to increase the antibody immunoglobin by 30%
