Health Benefits of Sex
Dr. Ali Zentner joined us in studio to share some of the unexpected health benefits of a great sex life.
REDUCED CANCER RISK
Several studies have shown that men who ejaculate more frequently have a reduced incidence of prostate cancer.
BETTER HEART HEALTH
A study published in the American Journal of Cardiology showed men who participated in intercourse twice or more per week were 45 percent less likely to develop heart disease than men who had sex once a month or less.
BOOSTED IMMUNITY
Scientists at Wilkes University discovered that those who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of Immunogloban A, which can protect against some colds and infections.
MORE CALORIES BURNED
Thirty minutes of sex can burn 85 calories or more.
BETTER ZZZS
Oxytocin produced during orgasm can make you sleepy. There is also a relaxed feeling that helps you get into the mood for slumber.
STRESS RELIEF
Sex has been proven to lower blood pressure in women. Studies also indicate a relationship between intercourse and an improved response to stressful situations.
