5 reasons to have sex today.

According to a study by Dr. Paul Pearsall, director of behavioral medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Detroit, several patients suffering from heart attacks had previously experienced periods of sexual dissatisfaction. Apparently, maintaining an active sex life is a good way to protect the body against a number of health problems. 2 - Goodbye, calories For those who want to lose weight, sex is a great exercise option, because it burns many calories and does not require great sacrifices. Some research shows that 30 minutes of sex can burn about 90 calories - that means that if you have sex three times a week you could lose up to five pounds in a year. 3 - Do you know that headache? It's no excuse to put sex aside, experts say. This is because sex releases certain substances that inhibit pain, such as oxytocin, in the body. According to data available in the book "How to Treat Arthritis," written by rheumatologist Carter V. Multz, sex can reduce the swelling, pain, and inflammation often associated with arthritis, menstrual cramps and headaches.

4 - Never get too old for him In the past, age was an acceptable excuse for people to stop practicing sex. Nowadays, however, it is already known that it may help replenish a number of hormones that get lost over the years - including testosterone. This property makes people who have sex on a regular basis look happier and healthier than others, regardless of their age. According to a study conducted at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland by clinical neuropsychologist David Weeks, patients who report having sex on average three to four times a week appeared to be of physical age about ten years younger than their age real. This kind of collateral benefit of sex is another reason to not stop practicing it, even as the years pass. 5 - No depression, sex is synonymous with fun "The sensation of orgasm is very effective to calm people," says Jennifer Gravez, chief of the press office at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, Bloomington, Indiana, USA. The statement is from a recent article published by the Institute. Jennifer explains that "[sex] helps with sleep, whether we're talking about sex alone or with a partner." The sensation of happiness is due once again to the substances released into the body at the moment of orgasm, such as serotonin. These substances promote the well-being of the individual and, therefore, sex can be an important ally in the fight against problems such as depression. Source: Women's Tips.
