There are quite a number of solutions [health tips]
people have proffered for life elongation and the likes but there are still
some very important tips left without discussion, even the doctors don’t talk about
it. Sequel to my research, I have come to discover that ‘SEX’ is essential for
good health apart from the pleasure derived from. The following are some of the
reason why sex is essential for a healthy life:
1
SEX PROTECTS AGAINST COUGHS AND
COLDS: Having regular orgasms is one
great way to protect against coughs and colds. Sex saturates the blood with an
antibody called immunoglobulin A that is known to boost immunity. At the moment
of climax, a powerful chemical called DHEA is released, which also balances the
immune system, as well as aids in tissue repair, improves cognition, and
promotes bone growth.
2
SEX HELPS YOU SLEEP BETTER: The oxytocin released during orgasm promotes sleep; and getting
enough sleep has been linked with a host of other good things, such as
maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure. Something to think about,
especially if you've been wondering why your guy can be active one minute and
snoring the next.

SEX CONTRIBUTES TO WEIGH LOSS: Sex is
also wonderful for weight loss since 30 minutes will burn 200 calories! In
addition sex calms food cravings because it stimulates the production of phenetylamine, a natural amphetamine
that regulates the appetite.

SEX IS A NATURAL ANTIDEPRESSANT: Several
studies have shown that semen just might be a natural antidepressant. Woman who
had regular unprotected sex were less likely to be depressed than women who did
not have sex or used a condom. One explanation might be that the vagina absorbs
all sorts of goodies from her lover's spunk including zinc, calcium, potassium,
and protein.

SEX BOOSTS IMMUNITY: Good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex once or
twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called
immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other
infections. Scientists at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., took samples
of saliva, which contain IgA, from 112 college students who reported the
frequency of sex they had. Those in the "frequent" group -- once or
twice a week -- had higher levels of IgA than those in the other three groups
-- who reported being abstinent, having sex less than once a week, or having it
very often, three or more times weekly.

SEX BURNS CALORIES: Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. It may not sound like
much, but it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than
enough to lose a pound. Doubling up, you could drop that pound in 21 hour-long
sessions. "Sex is a great mode of exercise," says Patti Britton, PhD,
a Los Angeles sexologist and president of the American Association of Sexuality
Educators and Therapists. It takes work, from both a physical and psychological
perspective, to do it well, she says.

SEX IMPROVES CARDIOVASCULAR
HEALTH: While some older folks may
worry that the efforts expended during sex could cause a stroke, that's not,
so, according to researchers from England. In a study published in the Journal
of Epidemiology and Community Health, scientists found frequency of sex was
not associated with stroke in the 914 men they followed for 20 years. And the
heart health benefits of sex don't end there. The researchers also found that
having sex twice or more a week reduced the risk of fatal heart attack by half
for the men, compared with those who had sex less than once a month.
