Say Yes to Sex: It Can Help You Live a Longer Life

Sure, you’ve probably heard that sex is a health-booster in many other aspects of your life . . . but how much sex should you have to reap the benefits? And what exactly are those benefits? Scientists are dedicating more and more research to the benefits of sex, and rightfully so. Keep reading below to find out all the details on how more sex equals a longer (and happier) life.

Recent studies indicate that more sex can lead to a longer life. One study indicated that having three or more orgasms a week can extend the life of a man by reducing the risk of heart disease, stress, cancer and depression. And, men who have sex on a regular basis feel younger than those who are not sexually active. One study reports that men feel eight years younger by having frequent orgasms (approximately once a day). 

Another bonus? Having orgasms also burns calories. Having sex can burn off as many as 200 calories at once. Also, because orgasms cause the heart to race and actually burn off calories on their own, they are like exercises for a healthy heart. 

Your Happy Place
Orgasms release a euphoric feeling by raising the serotonin in the brain. This is the component that fights off depression and stress.

All studies about sex and men indicate that men who have sex on a regular basis are happier than those who do not. In addition to men, women also benefit from sex as well. Orgasms in women also reduce the risk of the same diseases that can affect men, especially depression. Studies indicate that women and men who do not have orgasms on a regular basis are 70 percent more prone to depression. Depression, in itself, is a precursor to diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

In addition to the physical component that relates to sex and health, there is also an emotional component as well. The closeness that people feel when having sex with their partner is relaxing, and can help fight off depression and anxiety. 

Don’t Let Age Get You Down
As men and women age, their libido declines. Fortunately, there are herbal remedies that can restore the libido in men and women and allow them to regain their sexual confidence. Older men are often bothered by performance problems due to age. Men who take herbal supplements can restore their youthful vigor and desire for sex, as well as increase their frequency of erection. 

At the time of menopause, many women lose interest in sex. Vaginal dryness can be a cause for discomfort and a loss of estrogen also make them feel less inclined to indulge in sex. Women who take products to restore their sexual health can be restoring their general health as well. 

Solutions such as Ginkgo and Black Cohash work well when it comes to restoring sexual interest and performance in both men and women. There are also supplements that both can take to help stabilize their hormones. Men can take all natural health products that will increase their testosterone levels and also make it easier for blood to move to the penile area, giving them harder and firmer erections. 

Getting older does not have to mean a loss of a healthy sex life. There are plenty of all natural supplements on the market that can restore interest and virility and allow people to enjoy this natural and euphoric function. No one should think that they are past the age of having sex! A healthy sex life can be enjoyed by both men and women for an entire lifetime and actually make you feel younger both physically and mentally.
