SEX FOR HEALTH & LONGEVITY ?

Unlike some myth – and mystic – sex is neither ‘dirty’ nor is it just pleasure. In fact, it is natural part of a healthy life and even longevity. Scientifically validated. Just let’s rationalize it…

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Michele Coburg from San Diego, CA, asks:
 With a twinkle in the eye, how do you as a doctor see the role of sex in life, from a medical point of view?

SCIENTIFIC VALIDATION
 

 Dr. Fritz:
 
As a doctor, I am used to rationalize any part of our natural life, as God has created us. To be sure, sex is part of it.
 
Following strictly this philosophy, I can tell you that, yes, sex has quite a few physical and psychological benefits in our daily life. Not only privately but also professionally (work performance, etc.), according to research at Florida State University. Actively – by tackling specific health conditions – as well as preventing some diseases.   
 
Above all, according to research at Medical Research Services in Philadelphia, VA, and Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, and scientifically validated at the University of California-San Francisco, sex once or twice per week may strengthen the  
 
Immune system
 
by producing more of an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA) with 1-2 times sex per week, which may protect against flu and colds.
 
Pain
 
is another issue. With special reference to headache. Because according to research at the University of Muenster in Germany, headache pain associated with migraine or cluster headache may be relieved with sexual activity, including vaginal self-stimulation.
 
Sex is even an excellent form of exercise, burning 3.6 calories per minute, according to research at the University of Quebec in Canada.
 
This is especially important for the

Heart
 
as sex activities are increasing the heart rate, peaking during orgasm.
 
Accordingly, men with sex at least 2 times per week dropping their risk of heart disease by 45%. With less chest pain caused by heart disease during sex performance, according to research at the New England Research Institute in Watertown, MA, and the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA. Validated by the American Heart Association.
 
Not enough, according to research at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, sex may well improve
 
Memory
 
at least for women performing frequently sex. By stimulating new neurons in the brain region of hippocampus (responsible for learning and memory).
 
Also, especially women aged between 57 and 85 were less likely to develop 
 
Hypertension 
 
when performing regular sex, according to research at Michigan State University.
 
Take sound
 
Sleep
 
as another issue of relevance for health. While 50 to 70 million adults in the U.S. have sleep problems, sex may help for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. According to the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA.
Even
 
Cancer
 
is well an issue in this context. Because according to the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD, men ejaculating 21 times per month or more were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who ejaculated 2 thirds less.
 
Also
 
Stress
 
of all kinds may be relieved according to research at the University of Paisley in the UK. By releasing the ‘pair-bonding’ hormone oxytocin during sex activities.
 
                                                            IN A NUTSHELL

All that contributes to a longer
 
Life expectancy
 
reducing the risk of death by no less but 50% for men with frequent orgasms. According to research at the University of Bristol in the UK.
 
Along with a higher

 
Self-esteem
 
as the result of active sex life, with all the physical benefits indicated above. According to research at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and the University of New York, NY.
