Hi Folks,
Who says you can’t get fit between the sheets. As Winter is upon us, there cannot be many better ways to keep yourself up(so to speak). So many benefits of sexual relief. Read this summary of a study about the benefits of sex for fitness. This is a British study. It is quite interesting all the same. There are some great benefits to sexual intercourse to balance your exercise regime.
How many of you are signing up for the fitness challenge.
According to the NHS Direct website, “sexercise” can lower the risk of heart
attacks and helps people live longer.
Endorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also
helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles, it states.
Sexual health experts said such claims could not be scientifically proven.
“It’s good to see the NHS are promoting sexual wellbeing,” Dr Melissa Sayer told
the Guardian newspaper.
“Yes, there is evidence that sex has benefits for mental wellbeing, but to say
there is a link with reduced risk of heart disease and cancer is taking the
argument too far.”
NHS Direct, however, told the paper the content was “backed by science and
clinical evidence” and “isn’t just a bit of fun”.
‘Regular romps’
The advice, published under the headline “Get more than zeds in bed”, is one of
several sexual health-related articles to be found on the NHS Direct website.
Sex with a little energy and imagination provides a workout worthy of an
athlete, the article says.
NHS Direct
“Forget about jogging round the block or struggling with sit-ups.
“Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns
about 300 calories an hour.”
The advice suggests “regular romps this winter” could lead to a better body and
a younger look.
Increased production of endorphins “will make your hair shine and your skin
smooth,” it adds.
“If you’re worried about wrinkles - orgasms even help prevent frown lines from
deepening.”
The article goes on to say that orgasms release “painkillers” into the
bloodstream, which helping keep mild illnesses like colds and aches and pains at
bay.
