Sexual activity does more for you than give you pleasure. Sexual activity helps heal physical problems and can make you feel better. Here are five ways sexual activity helps a woman's body.
1. Overweight and Hate Dieting? Sex Curbs and Burns
Sex can help curb your appetite. Besides releasing endorphins into the brain, sexual activity also activates the production of phenethylamine, an amphetamine secreted by the body which researchers say plays a role in appetite regulation. Of course, sexual stimulation doesn't replace proper nutrition, but pleasure seems to help curb food cravings and sex burns calories. Actually, sex burns a more calories per minute than playing tennis.
2. Got a Headache? Try Sex Instead of Pills
Sex can help more than a pill. The pleasure brought by sexual climax results from a discharge of endorphins into the brain. Theses happy endorphins flood the brain and effectively calm headaches.
3. Insomnia Restlessness? Sex Is a Natural Cure
Sex is better than a pill for insomnia. The best thing to do after untangling from a loving embrace is, of course, to relax into natural sleep. The combined energy of sex and relaxation brought by orgasm makes a perfect replacement for sleeping pills. Instead of reaching out for a bottle of pills, reach out for the man lying in bed next to you or for your favorite toy. Sex gives you the natural solution for insomnia.
4. Suffer from Cramps? Sex Regulates Periods
Sex helps regulate the endocrine system. A specialist in endocrinology, Doctor Winnifred Cutler, reported that women who have sex at least once a week are more likely to have normal menstrual cycles and higher levels of estrogen in their blood. Besides regulating periods, healthy levels of estrogen help keep the cardiovascular system in shape, fight cholesterol, and even keep skin supple.
5. Too much Stress? Sex Flushes Tension
Sex helps release built-up tensions caused by stressful jobs and relationships. The brain uses the orgasmic pleasure chemicals to flush the body of harmful stress-based chemicals. Who wouldn't rather have a flood of pleasure replace the knots in the shoulders and the pain in the stomach that feels like it's eating from the inside out?
These are just five ways sexual activity helps women. Research has proven that frequent sex and orgasms help the overall wellness, health, and happiness of women.
