A healthy sexual life not only keeps you emotionally happy but also reduces the risk of developing heart problems almost by 50percent. According to a new study, it has been found that men who indulges in sexual activities at least two times a week can save themselves from the trouble of having heart problems in the future to a considerable extent. Moreover, the study also shows that men who have sex on regular basis are almost 45percent less prone to develop any kind of life-threatening heart problems in the future. However, if women can also benefit as much as men from regular lovemaking is still not confirmed yet but extensive studies are going on to establish the benefit of sexual intercourse in case of women.
How having sex can benefit your heart
Sex is the kind of activity which involves an intense amount of physical as well as emotional elements and apparently it has many benefits too. According to a study led by a researcher from New England Research Institute, Massachusetts, there are a number of reasons for which frequent sexual intercourse can benefit your heart and keep up its health.
- Since having sex is an intense physical activity, so like other exercises, it can also provide your heart with a little workout every time you engage in sexual activities.
- People who often desire to have sex frequently and also manage to do so can enjoy an overall healthier body.
- Men who regularly engage themselves in sexual intercourse apparently have a supportive relationship and because of which they not only enjoy a lot of emotional benefits but this also reduces their stress level.
It has also been revealed that regular sex can also boost your self-esteem and as a result improves your intimacy in the relationship. It happens mainly because both sex and orgasms increases the level of oxytocin hormone or the love hormone and this hormone enhances the feeling of attachment with your partner. Moreover, besides oxytocin, having sex also increases another hormone called endorphins which helps in lessening the feeling of pain associated with many physical disorders ranging from arthritis and headaches to even symptoms of PMS.
So, having frequent sex with your partner can also be considered as an essential health tool to keep you fit and healthy and also for preventing your body from future diseases. Therefore, it can be said that engaging in sexual intercourse is an excellent way not only to improve your emotional health but also for improving your physical health conditions. Other studies have also found that engaging in sex at least once a week can also provide your body with a number of health benefits and keeps you healthier than compared to men who only have sex occasionally.
