If
your thought is that the only benefit of sex was, well, pleasure,
here's some news for you.
Making love is good for adults. And making
love regularly is even better. Not only does it help you sleep well, relieve stress and burn calories, there are also several other reasons why you need to have sex more often.
Makes
you sleep better: The sleep that you get just after you've made love
will be much more relaxed. Getting a good night's sleep will make you
feel alert and overall healthy.
Reduces stress Stressed out with work
or family problems: Don't let it affect your performance in the
bedroom. Not only will having sex improve your mood, but a study has also proven that folks, who indulge in regular bedroom activities, can handle stress better and are happier people.
Relieves
pain: If you're using a headache as an excuse to not make love, stop
doing that. Have sex instead, because, when you're about to have an
orgasm, the level of the hormone oxytocin increases by five times. This endorphin actually reduces aches and pains.
Increases
blood circulation: Because your heart rate increases when you have sex,
fresh blood is supplied to your organs and cells. While used blood is
removed, the body also expels toxins and other materials that cause you
to feel tired.
Improves cardiovascular health :A recent study says
that men who have sex more than twice a week, have a lesser risk of
getting a heart attack, than men who had sex less than once a month.
Increases
immunity: Regular lovemaking increases the level of the immune-boosting
antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA), which in turn makes your body stronger
against illnesses like the common cold and fever.
Improves
overall fitness: If you find going to the gym mundane or working out at
home a task, here's another way to help you lose the flab and keep in
shape. Regular sex will do wonders for your waistline. Half an hour of lovemaking burns more than 80 calories.
