According to the Daily Mail of the UK, scientists have found through research that having sex not only makes people physically and mentally happy, enhances emotions, and produces offspring, but also greatly benefits their physical health. Next, let's take a look at the 5 major benefits of having sex for physical health.
1. Having sex can improve emotions
Having sex can promote the production of hormones such as endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin in the human body. These hormones help improve people's emotions. Endorphins can reduce anxiety and provide a sense of comfort, warmth, intimacy, calmness, and vitality. Oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone" or "love stimulant," can create a sense of attachment and security between the sexes. Serotonin is a messenger that can generate joyful emotions and suppress the generation of negative emotions.
2. Having sex can reduce the risk of heart disease
People usually believe that having sex increases the risk of heart disease, but this is not the case. According to research data from Queen University of Canada, having sex three times a week can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. According to Weisberg, a medical expert at the British Heart Foundation, there is no research to prove that having sex in people over 40 increases the risk of heart disease.
3. Having sex can enhance immunity
Having sex can increase the amount of immunoglobulin A in the human body, thereby enhancing people's resistance to diseases. Scientists have found through research that people who have sex more than twice a week have 30% more immunoglobulin A levels in their bodies compared to those who do not have sex.
4. Having sex can prolong one's life
Scientists in Wales have found through research that compared to people who have sex twice a week, those who have sex less than once a month are more likely to die prematurely. "When people make love, they produce dehydroepiandrosterone, which is a very important hormone. It can make the body full of speech, restore ability, improve memory, reduce cholesterol in the blood, fight obesity, heart disease and stress, and strengthen the immune system." Researcher Brewer said.
5. Having sex can improve sperm quality
The quality of male sperm is closely related to whether women can conceive. Previous studies have shown that men with high sexual frequency have significantly better sperm quality than those who do not frequently engage in sexual activity. In addition, Australian scientists have preliminarily confirmed through research that men with sperm defects can improve sperm quality through increased sexual frequency.
