How
Sex Benefits Your General Health
Sex
has many benefits to your physical and emotional health. You can burn a substantial amount of calories
and release Oxytocin, which enhances the emotions of affection
and nurturing. Sex stimulates the flow of testosterone, which
strengthens bones and muscles. Therefore, if you look at it,
engaging in sex frequently will bring about feelings of love
and nurturing; you will burn calories, and strengthen your
bones and muscles. Can you think of any other form of exercise
that gives you all those benefits and more that is of immense
pleasure? What other ways can sex benefit your overall health?
There are so many ways you will be amazed.
Enjoying
sex on a regular basis helps in maintaining your weight. Every time you have sex, you are burning calories,
which in turn burns fat. Did you know that you can burn approximately
the same amount of calories having sex as you can walking,
weight training, yoga, dancing, canoeing, and playing sports?
Increasing
your blood flow to all parts of your body, which
brings about an improvement in your circulatory health? By
increasing your heart rate, you are sending oxygenated blood
into your organs and nourishing your body.
Sex lowers your cholesterol by increasing the good cholesterol
and lessening the bad.
Lowers your stress
level – when the stress level goes down
it makes almost anything seem possible. Your mood lightens
and you are at peace.
Enhances
a good nights sleep – many men and women after orgasm
are actually able to fall into a deep sleep because they have
just released a large amount of stress and they are not worried
about events of the day or next week. Their bodies actually
shut down and relax.
A healthy sex life helps you live a longer life. Sex helps
the immune system and improves almost every aspect of our bodies.
There are studies that state if you were to have two orgasms
per week, you could cut the death rate in half as opposed to
those who only experience an orgasm once per month. The hormone
that is released is DHEA and this helps to increase cognition,
maintains and repairs tissues, encourages bone growth, and
keeps your skin looking supple and healthy. Aide in cardiovascular
health and work as an antidepressant also knows this hormone.
A healthy prostate – sex on a regular basis along with ejaculations
will keep the men healthy. Many men have experienced an enlarged
prostate and if they live long enough will experience this
problem at some point in their life. Another way to keep the
prostate healthy is to practice doing Kegel exercises. This
will keep the prostate toned and healthy
Sex gives a healthy boost to the releasing of testosterone
and estrogen thus making you want to have sex more often. Testosterone
also aids in the building and toning of muscles. A women’s
hormone levels is what keeps her vagina supple and lubricated
as well as protect her from heart disease. The estrogen and
testosterone are the hormones that make a woman want her partners
touch and his penetration.
Sex as a pain reliever – during the sexual acts the hormone
Oxytocin is released into the blood and this in turn releases
endorphins. These are natural opiates and sex has just released
a large amount into your bloodstream. This makes sex a very
powerful pain reliever. Did you know that the hormone Oxytocin
is what triggers the orgasm? In addition, when a woman has
an orgasm and the uterine muscles contract they contract with
the same amount of force of a woman in labor! Another advantage
to sex as a pain reliever is that for a woman who is going
through premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or cramps, sex is a great
way to feel better.
Intimacy has a great healing effect on people. Therefore,
if sex can be as beneficial as we have seen, sex with love
has to be very powerful. If you and your partner are deeply
in love with each other and there is a connection on all levels,
you can actually stave off premature death and/or diseases.
Touch is very powerful and when your partner touches you, your
body reacts in a positive way.
