SEX ONCE A DAY TAKES THE WRINKLES AWAY

10 December 2021

There are many scientific studies that confirm that sex is one of the most effective ways to go against the signs of time.

For what reasons, however, is sex considered an effective means of anti-aging and makes us maintain our youth?

Blood circulation:

Sex improves blood circulation, which, in turn, will make you look younger. Improved blood circulation helps to get more oxygen to your skin.

During sexual intercourse, too, the body sweats and this acts as a natural cleanser for your skin because it helps to eliminate toxins.

Endorphins:

Sex is the most natural antidepressant. When you have orgasm, the body releases neurotransmitters, called endorphins, which do “miracles” in your body.

Endorphins cause feelings of euphoria, moderate your appetite and enhance your body’s immune response.

When the level of endorphins in the body is high, you are also less likely to feel the pain, which helps those who suffer from arthritis or other musculoskeletal pains that come with increasing age.

Immune system:

Research has shown that people who have sex at least once or twice a week produce more immunoglobulin-A (IgA), which is an antibody that protects you from flu, colds and other infections.

More sex means more IgA, which in turn contributes to a stronger immune system. And when you’re healthy internally, you’re more likely to look younger and outward.

Pressure:

Relevant scientific research showed that when participants had sex before undergoing a stressful situation, their blood pressure did not increase as much as those who abstained from sex.

The results were the same for both men and women.

Estrogen:

A woman’s estrogen levels naturally decrease with age. It has been shown that estrogen protects against heart disease. During sex, a woman’s estrogen levels rise sharply.

Collagen:

Another one of the most important anti-aging properties of sex is that it increases the production of collagen in your body, which is essential for firm and healthy skin – one of the main tools to look younger.

Collagen is what gives your skin elasticity and helps fight fine lines and wrinkles. The more collagen your body produces, the better and more youthful your skin will look.

Weight loss:

With half an hour of sexual intercourse you can burn up to 85 calories.
