16 Health Benefits Of Daily Sex
Stressed, burdened with life's difficult problems and fear
that your health is declining? Then sex is the answer to happiness, longevity
and a healthy body. You don't agree? Well, here is a list of the health
benefits of sex, so do it daily to experience complete pleasure. These are 16
reasons to have sex today!
1. De-stress Sex
helps you reduce stress.
When deep breathing
exercises fail to de-stress you, sex will do the needful. During sex your body
produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka
"happiness hormones" and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone
secreted by the pituitary gland. In a study, published in the Public Library of
Science journal, three neuroscience researchers conducted a test on male rats
and found that the sexually active rats were less anxious than rats with no
sexual activity.
2. Great Form of
Exercise
Making love is a form of physical activity. During
intercourse, the physiological changes in your body are consistent with a
workout. You must have noticed that the respiratory rate rises, which means you
get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a week for 15
minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you'll burn about 7.500
calories in a year. That's the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing
raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during
sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
3. Lowers high blood
pressure
Hugs and sex can
improve your blood pressure. Sex reduces diastolic blood pressure, that is, the
bottom number while reading blood pressure. Researchers with the University of
Paisley conducted an experiment on the same. They concluded that sex improves
blood pressure.
4. Builds your
immunity
Trying to fight the sniffles? Sex is the answer to fight
cold and other health problems; sex can boost your immunity. Immunoglobulin A,
an antigen that fights the flu increases when the frequency of sex increases.
5. Makes You Look
Younger
Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years
younger, claims a Scottish researcher. "It's good for you to have good
sex," says David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal
Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in his
book, Secrets of the Superyoung.
6. Healthy heart
Sex helps you burn
calories but it can also improve your heart. Sex will take care of stroke and
heart attacks, you just have to enjoy the moment. Scientists with New England
Research Institute examined the effect of sex on the heart. The study concluded
that men are 45 percent less likely to experience cardiovascular diseases. But
the study fails to study the effect of sex on a woman's heart.
7. Pain relief
Pleasure is the measure to beat out the pain. Do you
experience migraines and body pain? Well sex is the answer. But if you
experience back pain, it is best to consult a doctor. Dr. George E. Erlich, an
arthritis specialist from Philadelphia conducted a study on the link between
arthritis and sex. He narrows down that patients who engaged in sex experienced
less pain.
8. Builds trust and
intimacy
The act of sex spikes
the hormone oxytocin; this hormone is responsible for your happiness and love.
If your feel your relationship is falling out, there is trust or you're worried
that your partner will stray away, then sex will dispel these doubts. The
hormone oxytocin builds trust and brings couples closer, and cupid too.
9. Less chances of
cancer
Regular ejaculation reduces your chances of developing
prostate cancer. In an Australian study men who ejaculated 21 times a month
were least likely to develop cancer. It is further supported by other
researches that sexual intercourse reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.
10. Stronger pelvic
muscles
Sex involves the use of several muscles; hence regular
sexual intercourse can help you develop stronger pelvic muscles. Further, since
the act of sex involves a range of muscles, it also helps strengthen these
muscles - for ex: quads, your core, and the upper back. Through regular sex,
you can also maintain a strong bladder and bowel function. Strong muscles,
calorie burner, improves heart health - sex seems to take care of you.
11. Prostate
Protection
Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate
gland. If you stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to
swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation will wash those fluids out
and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also
occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
12. Induces sleep
After that great, lovely workout you are bound to get good
sleep. But guess what? Sex works the same way as exercise. The increased heart
rate leads to increased post-coital relaxation. Sex could be the next thing for
insomniacs! So what really happens: - Sex can relax you, hence if you are
already tired, the act of sex will induce sleep. - When men ejaculate they
become lethargic, this can make them sleepy.
13. Regular periods
Apparently sex can improve your menstrual cycle. Sex
regulates hormones, which in turn regulate the menstrual cycle. Sex reduces
stress, which is one of the reasons women miss their periods. Sex seems like a
better option than pills.
14. Prevents Erectile
Dysfunctions Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from
erectile dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won't be able
to get it up any more. The best medicine against impotence is...sex. An
erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so the tissue
stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the
more you train the more capable you are to perform.
15. Live longer
A healthy heart, stronger muscles, increased circulation of
oxygen and happiness are some of the factors that add life to the years and as
a result - years to your life. A study published in the British Medical Journal
reveals that men who engaged in sex often live twice as those who rarely had
any action.
16. Healthier semen
If you're trying to
conceive, you increase the volume of semen if you have sex regularly. Regular
sex replaces old sperms from the testicles. If there is a natural build of
sperms it can lead to DNA damage.
