Sex as an intimate and fun activity brings health benefits in addition to satisfying passion. Powerful oxytocins and endorphins that occur during intimate relations are not only responsible for that pleasant feeling after sex - they also act as natural medicines.

These are just some of the powerful sides of sex

Kisses are stronger than tooth decay

It's not very romantic, but kissing stimulates the secretion of saliva, which makes it easier to clean food residues between the teeth and lowers the level of acidity in the mouth. The effect of a kiss is similar to using sugarless gum.

Hugs against hiccups

Forget about holding your breath or putting a sugar cube under your tongue, a big hug is so powerful it will compress your diaphragm and ease pesky hiccups.

Headache

In addition to increasing blood flow to the brain, it stimulates the production of 'good' hormones and reduces levels of stress hormones. 'Exercise' also has a relaxing effect - ideal for migraines and headaches.

Brain and memory

Just like exercise, sex improves circulation and blood flow to the brain, which results in a stronger feeling of alertness, focus, and reduces the risk of Alzheimer's in old age.

Depression

Sex stimulates the production of oxytocin, which is also released during exercise, meditation and laughter. Such 'training' reduces anxiety and relieves symptoms of depression, according to experts.
