Sex is important to your health

You may want sex because it feels good, but it has many health benefits that are too good to pass up. Here are the reasons why your lover should give you sex, and how much you should have.



How much sex do you have?



Did you know the amount of sex you get could have a great impact on your current and future health?

Studies have shown that people who have sex on a regular basis live a longer life than those who don’t.

So you may be asking yourself how much sex do you need for better health, well at least once to twice a week will do the job.

Now before you start running out looking for people to have sex with im sure I don’t have to lecture you about the unhealthy side of sex. With all the viruses and diseases running around these days you absolutely must choose your partners wisely.

Always use protection unless you are absolutely sure about the person you are with, this is one of the benefits of being married.

Lastly if you don’t have a willing partner, most of us were born with two hands so this is not a valid excuse LOL.

Oral sex can cause HPV (human papilloma virus) that can also cause cervical cancer in women. HPV can go undetected for years and using condoms has been shown to lower the risk by 70%

There also is a vaccine to help protect against HPV for women according to the CDC, if you want to know more here is a link to the CDC.

Here are the health benefits of regular sex:

It helps lower bad cholesterol

It’s beneficial for your heart and blood circulation

It will boost your immune system that lowers the risk of getting colds

Sex also is great for the pelvic muscles that will help women control the flow of urine.

Sex at night is the best sleeping medicine that you can take; your body becomes totally relaxed helping you fall asleep.

If you have sex for 20 minutes you can burn up to 200 calories. That sure beats running any day the week LOL

Semen contains many minerals that have been shown to retard tooth decay, if there is a taste issue, many women have reported their mans semen tasting better when they consume fruits that are high in natural sugars such as pineapple, papaya, cranberry, melons, apples, and grapes, which offset the bitter taste.


Sex is also a great beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce greater amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes their hair shine and skin smooth.

Sex is biochemically no different from eating large quantities of chocolate, sounds like a good trade off to me LOL.

During the female orgasm endorphins are released which are powerful painkillers. Sex actually relieves headaches; a lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. So next time she says she has a headache tell her you have the cure LOL.

A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine; it can help combat asthma and hay fever.

Instead of an apple a day to keep the dentist away try kissing. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

A medical study conducted in Pennsylvania showed that people who have sex once or twice a week have their immune systems boosted slightly.

Guys if you want to boost your testosterone levels for a big workout or game it is best that you try to abstain from sex for a few days leading up to the event.

Have you ever had sex a couple of days in a row and noticed that something was a little off in the gym, ever hear of the old saying women weaken legs? LOL.

Testosterone levels will increase each day without sex up to 7 days, then drop off sharply by the eight-day, so make sure you get some relief by the seventh day to keep your natural testosterone production going.

Pornography has been shown to increase testosterone by 100% in men after only 15 minutes of exposure. Sounds like a good excuse before you head to the gym LOL

So the next time you are looking for a little, tell him or her, if they care about your health they will give it up. Just play safe!

Eating a higher fiber diet has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels; prevent constipation, and slow digestion.

But make sure you drink plenty of water with a high fiber diet.

Calcium:

Calcium is necessary for strong bones and teeth, not to mention it plays an important role in weight loss.

Most people on strict weight loss diets do not take in the enough calcium since they avoid cheese, and dairy products.

Cinnamon aids in controlling blood sugar helping people with type 2 diabetes. Just sprinkle it on a high carbohydrate food to lesson its impact on your blood sugar levels.

How to buy and store cinnamon:

Cinnamon is available in either stick or powder form. The sticks can be stored for a longer period, but the powder has a stronger flavor.

Try to smell the cinnamon to make sure it has a sweet smell to indicate that it is fresh.

Cinnamon should be kept in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool dark, and dry place. Ground cinnamon will keep for about 6 months, while sticks will stay fresh for about 1 year.

Remember if it doesn’t smell sweet it isn’t fresh, throw it away.
