Did you know sex has serious health benefits? Here’s why you need to make the most of it!

1. Stay Slim

A 30-minute romp with your other half burns up to 100 calories.

It may not seem like a lot until you do the math. Imagine if you do it 5 times a week  – you could be half a stone lighter in a year.

When you have lots of sex, it focuses your thoughts away from eating, and helps you cut down on mindless munching.

2. Feel Good

Lots of love boosts your body image, mood and self-esteem. You feel great and become more body aware in a really good way! Great exercise and lashings of pleasure and you’re certain to feel happier with this wonderful body of yours.

3.  Release Stress

You forget everything when you’re enjoying reliable orgasm. Along with stimulating those special bits, sex affects the Vagus nerve to calm your body. Resting heart rate and blood pressure drop to healthy levels. Being close to your mate builds resilience to help cope better in stressful situations.

4. Sleep Well

Could be time to rethink the post-coital chat many women crave. Nature designed us all to drift off to sleep after orgasming! This is due to the hormones sex stimulates – Oxytocin, Prolactin and Vasopressin. Why not just enjoy drifting off into a delicious, refreshing night’s  sleep?

5. Rejuvenate Skin

Having sex shows on your face! Women who have sex frequently look younger than those who don’t. Why? For starters there’s that loved-up glow from increased circulation and a sparkle in your eye. But did you know that during sex you get a release of an insulin-type  growth chemical which helps firm up facial muscles and keep wrinkles at bay? The good night’s sleep helps here, too!

6. Stay Well

Couples who have plenty of sex boost their immune system. More than 12 times a week raises IgA immune cells a whopping  30%! Germ-busters such as natural killer cells and phagocytes spike during orgasm. Experts believe it protects you from any germs in your partners body fluids.

7. Halt Headache

Yup, sex halts headache and not the the other way around. About 12% of migraine sufferers find that orgasm stops a headache in its tracks. 30% noticed less pain, irritability and fatigue by having sex -instead of paracetamol!

8. Fit for Life

The vaginal movements during sex are your own Kegel exercises. When the pelvic floor is toned up orgasms are improve and prevents leaky bladder. This workout keeps your womb and tubes supple and fit. Fertility depends on muscle contractions bringing the egg along the Fallopian tube in a timely manner for fertilisation.

9.  Cool Down

Regular orgasm increases estrogen levels to reduce flushes in menopausal women. Heart and bone health are  also protected. It pays off to stay sexually active.

10. Keep Him Healthy

Men who ejaculate frequently – around 20 times per month – have a lower risk of prostate cancer.

Heart attack risk can be halved if the other lifestyle factors are heeded, too.
