Health Sex

Your immune system will be strengthened if you have sex regularly.

Many people believe that having sex is simply a tool to satisfy oneself or to expanding the family. However, if done in a moderated and safe manner, sex is very beneficial to your health, helping you live longer and happier.

Regular sex helps boost your immune system and prevent flu

A study has shown the link between the immune system and sexual activities. Accordingly, having sex makes the body produce more antibodies Immunoglobulin A (IgA). This type of antibody helps the body fight infectious agents. Especially, in the study, those who have sex more than 2 times a week will have up to 30% more IgA antibodies than the others.

For men: Researchers believe that regular sex has a great effect on men’s health and endurance. Not only that, but sex also helps reduce stress, reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer. Sex significantly improves your blood circulation, increases blood pressure temporarily, and provides the body with more oxygen.

During sex, your heart rate rises up to 180 beats/minute, just like when you’re running. You breathe faster and deeper, reaching up to 40 beats/minute, thus providing the heart and the internal organs more oxygen, helping to quickly repair cells and flush out harmful substances from the body. Therefore, even people who had heart events, as well as cerebrovascular accidents, are advised not to give up sexual activities. Experts say they should maintain sex at an appropriate frequency and moderation.

For women: Researches conducted in many countries around the world show that the more satisfied women are when having sex, the more comfortable and happy they will be in real life. They will also control stress better. With the ability to consume about 42 calories per minute, sex is regarded as a sport that helps release energy and keep your body in shape effectively. For women, regular sex has the effect of beautifying the skin, improving their physique and bringing many other health benefits.

Having sex help you have better sleep. In addition, during sex, the stress hormones in the body are reduced by up to 53%, helping to improve the body’s immune system. Of course, if one of you is having flu, you cannot have sex because it will infect the other person.
