Making love is definitely one of the most enjoyable activities we know.
We've already told you about the 8 things that happen to your body when you stop having sex.
But did you know that having sex can also prolong your lifespan? many years?
It's not me that says it but science! Here are 2 animated images that should convince you.
Compare the brain activity of someone who has an active sex life and that of a person who has little sexual intercourse :
The animated images above perfectly illustrate what happens in our brain when it is stimulated by a feel-good activity such as sex.
Studies show that these positive stimulations of the reward system inside our brain increase our lifespan by years.
No other activity stimulates the brain's pleasure circuit like sex.
Thanks to science, we already knew that the brain's reward system played a fundamental role in the survival of all mammals — including humans.
But according to the latest studies, it would play an even more important role than we thought.
To get the most out of the positive effects of this reward system, researchers believe it is necessary to stimulate it as often as possible.
And for that, no activity has as many benefits as sex.
According to this study, having frequent orgasms (i.e. at least 100 per year) can increase life expectancy by 3 to 8 years .
Yes, having regular sexual activity has many health benefits.
Besides, there are so many of them that it makes you wonder why we don't talk about them more often!
Having sex regularly lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol levels and improves blood circulation.
But wait, because the list is still long!
Making love also increases the heart rate by 70 to 150 beats per minute.
Other studies have also shown that those who have regular sex have half the risk of having a heart attack or stroke, compared to those who do not have sex.
During sex, all the muscles of the body are stimulated and toned, including the pelvis, buttocks, stomach and arms.
In addition, the body burns 200 calories in just 30 minutes of sex .
Research also indicates that sex acts as an appetite suppressant, regulates appetite and helps the body absorb nutrients from food more easily.
Making love boosts the immune system, helps tissue repair, reduces stress, improves sleep quality and promotes strong bones.
This study from the University of Pennsylvania even showed that having regular orgasms drastically reduces the risk of catching a cold.
Staying sexually active is therefore essential to staying healthy for as long as possible.
If you want to live a long and healthy life, it is better to avoid loneliness and boredom.
Touch and skin-to-skin contact are essential to the growth of all mammals.
As proof, babies and animals deprived of physical contact develop abnormally.
It is also known that frequent intercourse considerably increases self-esteem. However, a strong self-esteem is essential if you want to live longer.
And when you want to change the routine a little, nothing better than to spice up your sex life with new positions.
For that, I recommend this little book which gives interesting ideas;-)
