Sex Does A Body Good

We know sex is fun but did you know it can also make you healthy?
Frequent sex (once or more per week) may help us to live longer
and healthier according to Dr. Stephen Bogdewic, of Family
Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine.
"If a new drug had that same impact, virtually every doctor in
the country would be recommending it."

Sex offers many health benefits that may be initially overlooked.
First, it's a physical activity that gets the heart pumping and
gives the muscles a workout. (However, a half-hour of sex only
burns about 50 calories, so don't think this can be your only
form of exercise!) It also triggers the release of endorphins,
natural opiates, and oxytocin, a hormone that encourages us to
bond. Oxytocin is the same hormone that is released when a mother
nurses her baby, so now wonder it makes us want to cuddle! Blood
flow to the brain is increased and fresh oxygen pulses through
our body. Studies show that sex stimulates the immune system.
Regular sex also improves mental health by putting us in a better
mood and improving our sleep.
