10 Must Know Health Benefits of Sex.

In humans, sexual intercourse and sexual activity in general have been reported as having health benefits as varied as increased immunity by increasing the body's production of antibodies and subsequent lower blood pressure, and decreased risk of prostate cancer. Sexual intimacy and orgasms increase levels of the hormone oxytocin (also known as "the love hormone"), which can help people bond and build trust. Oxytocin is believed to have a more significant impact on women than on men, which may be why women associate sexual attraction or sexual activity with romance and love more than men do. A long-term study of 3,500 people between ages 18 and 102 by clinical neuropsychologist David Weeks indicated that, based on impartial ratings of the subjects' photographs, sex on a regular basis helps people look significantly chronologically younger. Here is the 10 health benefit of sex you should know;
1. according to study, sex is the equivalent of playing doubles tennis or walking uphill.
2. sex burned 4 calories per minute for men and 3 per minute for woman, during sessions that ranged from 10 to 57 minutes, including foreplay. (the average was 25 minutes) man burned about 9 calories per minute jogging and woman about 7. sex is important for physical fitness.
3. sex increase your body's dopamine levels- the hormone that improve your memory and motivation.
4. it helps you relax, lowering the stress levels in your body.lower blood pressure and overall stress reduction.
5. when you have sex, the cuddle hormone oxytonic is released. The oxytonic released during orgasm also promotes sleep, according to research.
6. A sex life is also good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen and testosterone levels in balance.
“When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease,” Pinzone says.
Having sex more often may help. During one study, men who had sex at least twice a week were half as likely to die of heart disease as men who had sex rarely.
7. having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or lgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.
8. sex help increase the release of the hormone testosterone , which in turn improves your energy level and strengthens vital body parts , like your muscles, bones and heart.
9. frequent ejaculations , especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life.
10. Sexual activity releases pain-reducing hormones and has been found to help reduce or block back and leg pain, as well as pain from menstrual cramps, arthritis and headaches. One study even found that sexual activity can lead to partial or complete relief of headache in some migraine and cluster-headache patients.

FINALY BERMUDA TRIANGLE MYSTERY SOLVED...!!

Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens, and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the “Devil’s triangle.” Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a more plausible cause. The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well. Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the methane surrounding...
