Seven Reasons Why Sex is Good for Your Health
There are, at least, seven reasons why having sex regularly is good for your physical and mental health.
Improves the Heart’s Health
Having sex regularly reduces the risk of heart failure in 30%. Patients with regular activity are also less prone to have diabetes and blood high pressure, preventing strokes and raising general health.
Makes You Thinner
Adequate sexual activity burns something around 200 calories, what represents the same as a good exercise outside. As an aerobic activity, it stimulates lung activity, what also prevents heart diseases. Being thinner, by itself, also improves health.
Induces Pain Relief
As a physical activity, sex releases endorphins into the blood circulation. Endorphin is something like the body’s natural morphine, and one of its peculiarities is reducing pain. The welfare and health sensation after having sex (or exercise) is also related to the endorphins. Not feeling pain certainly is good for the health.
Prevents Depression
During sexual activity, the body releases a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which works as a natural anti-depressive. The person feels happy, and that feeling prevents depression. Also, being happy is good for the general health, since it prevents the manifestation of physical somatic symptoms caused by psychological diseases affecting the mind’s health.
Makes Women Younger
During sex the body releases the hormone estrogen, which cleans the skin all over the body and blushes the lips. Good sex probably is better than most known cosmetics. What can be better for the mental health, than felling pretty.
Prevents Colds
Having sex twice a week raises the levels of A antibody, which works as natural anti-biotic. Better than the flu shot, having sex regularly will prevent the nose running and improve the general health.
Makes You Live Longer
Although there is no hard data that testifies it, statistics show that people who have an active sex life live longer than people who don’t. Speculations about why are many, but no concrete evidence. Well… In my opinion, I just believe that a person with an active sex life have a reason to stay alive longer, don’t you think?

women don’t know what they want.. shoes, travel, a handsome guy with a great job making $100,000 a year w/ 6 pick abs, a bad boy.. in the end when you ask too much of yourself or of others.. that’s just an inevitable road to failure. Ask less, want less.. live more be happier being yourself.. peace! – a guy
