Why Sex Is Healthy

Sex is healthy!

There are no more excuses for not having sex.

In this article, we’ll show you all the benefits it has for both our physical and emotional health.

You know, we’ve got to get started.

First of all, having sex is just as effective as going to the gym; in 30 minutes, you can burn between 150 and 200 calories, which is equivalent to running on a treadmill for 15 minutes or walking at a brisk pace for 25 minutes.

It significantly improves blood circulation, which helps women combat cellulite.

Another major benefit of having sex is that it improves cardiovascular health.

British scientists claim that having sex once or twice a week reduces the risk of a heart attack and leads to a significant drop in systolic blood pressure after each sexual encounter… thereby helping to lower high blood pressure.

Another major benefit is that it strengthens the immune system by boosting the body’s defenses, as it stimulates the production of cells that fight viruses and bacteria. This occurs because during sexual intercourse there is an exchange of these cells, leading to an increase in antibodies, which in turn boosts the body’s immune response.

It has been shown that regular sexual activity increases immunoglobulin A levels by up to 30%, which helps protect us from colds.

Orgasm and arousal trigger the release of two hormones—oxytocin and DHEA—which have also been linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Hormones are also released that help stimulate the production of collagen, which is so important for maintaining beautiful, well-cared-for skin and preventing premature aging.

Having orgasms causes the pelvic muscles to contract, which improves their tone and helps prevent urinary problems.

Another very important and obvious benefit of regular sexual activity is stress reduction, thanks to the production of oxytocin, which promotes restful sleep, slows down the aging process, and promises us greater longevity.

In fact, certain studies—including an Irish study published in the British Medical Journal—conclude that men who have orgasms more frequently have a mortality rate up to 50% lower than men who do not have sex frequently.

It’s a great pain reliever; it reduces pain. Along with oxytocin, endorphins are released during orgasm that relieve all kinds of ailments—from severe migraines to arthritis…
