Improved immunity, pain relief, good heart health – sex can provide all these health benefits and more…
Many people associate a healthful lifestyle with habits that are not always the most fun – like gruelling workouts or skipping dessert. But this is a misconception, as many of the healthiest habits are also among the most rewarding.
Take sex. It counts as moderately intense exercise, plus it boosts numerous aspects of both physical and mental health. As long as you’re engaging in safe sex practices, increasing your sexual activity is a surefire strategy to better health!
Here’s how:
1. IMPROVED IMMUNITY
People who have sex frequently (one or two times a week) have significantly higher levels of immunoglobulin. Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense.
Its job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system. This may explain why people who have sex frequently also take fewer sick days.
2. HEART HEALTH
Men who made love regularly (at least twice a week) were 45% less likely to develop heart disease than those who did so once a month or less, according to one study.
Sexual activity not only provides many of the same benefits to your heart as exercise but also keeps levels of estrogen and testosterone in balance, which is important for heart health.
