Sex is good for you

Like the old famous ad for Guinness - Guinness is good for you, the same it seems can be said for sex.

The latest research shows that a health sex life can have many benefits for your wider health. Sex is actually a great aerobic exercise, which is good for your heart. Sex also works out your stomach, back and buttock muscles, leading to greater self esteem. Exercise on its own is also good for your mind. It relieves stress and elevates your mood, due to the release of endorphins. It also helps to workout some muscles which would not normally be worked.

Sex can also help prevent certain illnesses. After sex, hormones that can have beneficial effects are released in the body. Oxytocin causes relaxation and feelings of love and bonding, and endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers. Levels of immunoglobulin A are also elevated after sex. This antibody can help you fight off colds. Obvoiusly, people also have to take precautions when having sex as that can introduce many other illnesses.
