Sex, which is said to make one look and feel young by boosting the
skin's production of Vitamin D, has, as revealed by an expert, many other
advantages.
Jennifer Dunkerley listed ten reasons why copulation is good and why
people should have an active sex life.
It keeps your heart pumping.
The idea that men are more at risk of a heart attack during lovemaking
is wrong, says Professor Peter Weisberg, British Heart Foundation medical
director. He says there is no evidence that men who have sex regularly in their
30s, 40s, 50s and beyond are at increased risk.
It prevents erectile dysfunction.
Finnish scientists have found that men who have sex at least twice a
week are less likely to suffer erectile dysfunction in later life.
It helps to relieve stress.
"While stress can have an effect on your libido it is important to
understand that sex is the greatest natural stress reliever," the Daily
Star quoted Dr Irvine Hendrix as saying. A study of more than 50
middle-aged women found sex, or even simple physical affection with your
partner, significantly reduces negative mood and stress and creates more
positive moods in the following days.
It burns calories.
"Sex is a low-intensity workout so the time and intensity of your
sexual activity will ultimately determine how many calories you burn. The other
good news is that sex would count towards your daily 30 minutes of
activity," Gillian Reeves, group exercise manager at Virgin Active, said.
It helps release happy hormones.
"Sex will release endorphins which make you feel good, so you can
have fun and feel great at the same time," Reeves said.
It will keep you fit and toned.
"If you feel like your physical appearance is good, then you''ll be
much more likely to engage in physical activity like sex just because you just
feel better," Dr Pamela Peeke told the 2011 Zumba fitness convention. "Sex
involves lots of muscle activity so you''ll continue to feel fit and toned.
It''s a winning formula," she added.
It stops colds from developing.
Those who have sex more than twice a week produce more immuno-globulin
A, a substance found in saliva that helps the immune system to fight off colds
and flu.
It will make you look younger.
Anti-ageing expert Dr Eric Braverman reckons an active sex life can help
you look and feel younger by boosting the skin''s production of Vitamin D.
It makes you live longer.
Men who have sex less than once a month have double the risk of dying
prematurely than those who have sex twice a week, a study in Wales showed.
