OVER 25 HEALTH BENEFITS OF SEX

Hello readers, its healTh Tips Tuesday and hmmmm how do I start this topic? Who do I advice to go ahead and read or tell not to continue? What a dilemma, phew.... Well, I decided to share this because truthfully, I didn't have any ideas about sex benefits until I was asked to speak to some people about human sexuality in marriage. Somehow, I saw myself surfing the web for ideas and i came upon the benefits of sex. To me however, I think married couples will learn more from this and frankly, I'd advice you have a little more if you weren't have enough.

When it comes to frequency of sex, the old adage of "just do it" is backed up by science. More and more studies are showing increased emotional and physical benefits from frequent safe sex. The benefits of sex include:

Lower mortality rates
Reduced risk of prostate cancer
Improves posture
Boost self esteem and reduces levels of insecurity
Makes a person feel younger
It firms the tummy and buttocks and makes for stronger pelvic floor muscles
Keeps spouses connected emotionally (deeper intimacy)
