Regardless of whether you are in a relationship, married or have a regular sexual partner, allow yourself to use the time together to do something healthy.
Good for the heart
As our body burns calories, the condition of the heart improves at the same time. Scientists from the New England Research Institute calculated that men who regularly have sex will reduce the likelihood of developing heart disease by 45 percent.
It reduces stress
If you've had a long day at work or you're just feeling a little anxious, sex will help you relax and reduce your stress levels. During sex, our body produces dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin, hormones that together help us to relieve the feeling of pressure, increase our natural level of happiness and increase our sexual desire.
It lowers blood pressure
Even if your sex is mostly quick, it can significantly improve blood pressure levels. A study conducted by Paisley University in Scotland found that intimate physical contact lowers diastolic (bottom) blood pressure and thus makes us healthier.
Relieves pain
If you suffer from headaches or other pains, sex can relieve them better than painkillers, he says i live.hr.
Sex rejuvenates
If you make love three times a week, you can look ten years younger. This claim was made by Scottish clinical neuropsychologist David Weeks in his book Secrets of the Superyoung. 'It's good to have good sex,' he says. Do you need another reason?
The highlight of these miraculous positive effects of regular sex on our health is that by making love we will probably add a few years to our life span. In a study published in the British Medical Journal, it was reported that men who make love regularly live twice as long as those who rarely or never engage in the act. Well, if this sounds a bit excessive, it does not reduce the overall benefits of regular sex.
