Sexual life is an indispensable part of married life. A harmonious sex life is not only a bond that maintains the relationship between husband and wife, but also very beneficial to health. Let's take a look at what benefits sexual life has for women's health.
1. Enhance relationships
Oxytocin, released during orgasm, not only improves mood but also makes you feel closer to your partner, with its effects being particularly pronounced in women. In fact, not only sex, but also touching or foreplay can stimulate a large release of oxytocin.
2. Relieve stress
When faced with troubles, instead of yelling and screaming, it's better to release them through sex. Many American psychologists consider fulfilling sex to be one of the best ways to relieve stress.
3. Boost immunity
Researchers analyzed data from 111 volunteers aged 16-23 and found that having sex once or twice a week can increase the amount of immunoglobulin A in the body by 30%, thereby boosting immunity and helping people prevent colds and flu.
4. Helps with sleep
Caresses and sex can release endorphins that promote sleep, allowing couples to quickly drift into a sweet dream after some playful moments.
5. Delay aging
According to Weeks, a neurophysiologist at Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland, active sex can slow down the aging process and keep people young.
6. Effective weight loss
A 30-minute sexual encounter can burn 200 calories, making it easy to lose excess fat and maintain a slim, attractive figure.
7. Relieve pain
Sex should be a painless and rewarding experience. After a satisfying orgasm, the pituitary gland releases endorphins, which help reduce physical pain, including joint pain and menstrual cramps.
8. Regular menstrual cycle
Scientists at Columbia University and Stanford University have found that women who have sex at least once a week have more regular menstrual cycles.
9. Dental health
Semen contains zinc, calcium, and other substances that protect teeth, making them whiter and stronger.
10. Prevent urinary incontinence
Sexual intercourse can strengthen pelvic floor muscles, leading to better urination control and effectively preventing urinary incontinence.
