Besides making you feel good, excellent in fact, sex is also great for your health. It actually cures more health issues than you though.
So, let’s take a look at the problems that the good old sex will take care of for you!
Headaches
One of the best cures for a headache is Endorphin, the natural painkiller produced right in your own body. And, this painkiller is produced when you… that’s right… have sex.
So, the next time you have a headache, instead of avoiding sex, make sure you have it and the headache will simply disappear!
Cold and Flu
Sex stimulates the production of antigen known as the immunoglobulin, which is in charge of keeping you safe from infections. Having sex at least once or twice a week will highly improve the state of your immune system and even shorten the recovery period when you are down with a cold or flu.
Hiccups
Believe it or not, to make the notorious hiccups stop, you don’t have to hold your breath till you turn blue or drink gallons of water, or have someone scare the soul out of you. Nope, all you have to do is grab your partner and throw him in the bed and…. Well, you get the idea! The trick is the steady breathing you have during the sex, faster heartbeats, and general relaxation of muscles, including the diaphragm, the main culprit for this annoying condition.
Keeps your heart younger and more resilient
A study that was conducted with 1000 male participants, back in 2010, showed that having sex is great for your heart (even though sometimes it feels like your heart is going to explode during sex, it actually won’t). In fact, the study showed that men who had sex at least two times during the week have much better odds of avoiding a heart attack (45% better odds to be exact) from the ones that have sex less than 2 times a month. So, the numbers don’t lie guys! Get busy if you want your ticker ticking for at least a few more decades!
Signs of aging
Doctor David Wicks from the Royal Edinburg Hospital, when addressing the British Psychological Society Congress, stated that sex contributes to a better quality of life. Meaning, women, and men that have an active sex life look 5 to 7 years younger than they really are! So, ladies and gents, you heard the man, don’t waste your money on expensive surgeries and god knows what cosmetic products, just get busy in bed and you will both look and feel younger.
Stress
One of the best cures for stress is sex. There’s no arguing about it. The science will back me up on this! During sex, there are a plethora of various “happy” hormones being released into your body, all leading to relaxation and killing the effects of stress.You must have noticed how “angry” sex always makes you feel much better afterward. Well, now you know the reason for it!
Insomnia
If you have problems falling asleep, having sex will help you. Namely, the special hormone called oxytocin, a.k.a the cuddle hormone.Once this hormone is released into your body, you become more relaxed and sleepy. This is also the reason why some people like to cuddle after sex and why some fall asleep immediately after an orgasm. I guess this hormone has one effect on men and a completely different one for women…
Blood pressure
Unlike Oxytocin and the whole sleeping situation, when it comes to blood pressure, a certain group of hormones that are released during sex, have the same effect on both women and men. Both women and men that have problems with high blood pressure will be happy to know that during sex, your blood pressure drops. So, ladies, instead of swallowing a handful of pills each day to keep your pressure stabilized, you will be better off swallowing something else… As for you gents, well, you know what to do, redirect your blood into that certain area if you want the rest of the body to be pressure free.
Depression
Hormones again… This time, the combination of Oxytocin and Endorphin. They each have their own health properties, but when you combine them, there isn’t a single happy pill that will put a better smile on your face I guarantee! In fact, if you really want to feel happy and stretch those lips from ear to ear, I recommend having oral sex more often. It releases the mentioned hormones in much higher amounts.
Brain functions
Sex makes us smarter! Okay, you shouldn’t expect to win the Nobel prize if you start having sex more often, but it’s a fact that sex stimulates nerve growth in our brains. You won’t actually get Super smart, but you will be able to focus better and your brain will work faster.
