Sex, in addition to being a very enjoyable activity, also brings huge health benefits. Here are some of them…
- Sex boosts immunity
People who had sex regularly had 30% higher levels of antigenic immunoglobulin A than those who did not have sex often. Thus, the body is protected from colds and flu.
- Reduces blood pressure
There is a definite link between sex and low blood pressure. Based on research, scientists confirm that sexual intercourse, but not masturbation, lowers systolic blood pressure.
- Improves sleep
Endorphins are undoubtedly one of the most important hormones for the body. With their release, a feeling of happiness “comes”, thanks to which physical barriers are overcome and even sleep improves. During sex, the hormone prolactin is also released – its levels are naturally higher when we sleep.
- Sex is a mini-workout
Sexual activity burns calories more efficiently than moderate-intensity exercise. Experts estimate that men burn about 4.2 calories per minute, which is the equivalent of riding a bike or playing tennis.
- Sex makes us smarter.
Sex “gives birth” to geniuses, or do geniuses like to have sex? It’s a difficult question. However, it turns out that people who are distinguished by their intellect have a very high libido. Sex improves mental performance and increases neuronal production in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that creates long-term memories.
