#1 The New Vitamin-C
It may surprise you but the commingling of lips is an immune system booster! Exposing yourself to another's germs creates a natural vaccine of antibodies against illnesses. But the opposite can happen too, some diseases like the flu, cold sores, or mononucleosis are definitely contagious! Best to nurture and not kiss your partner during those times.
#2 You'll Looking Younger!
Kissing requires the muscles in the face to tense-up and therefore tones them. In fact, you can kiss the air to get a similar effect with the 'pucker' muscles around the lips called the orbicularis oris. But it's more fun and like an isometric exercise to kiss the one you love.. A lot!
#3 It Can Cure Allergies
Scientists tested the blood of individuals who have allergies, before and after kissing. They found the intimate act decreased allergen-specific IgE antibodies that promotes histamine. Histamine causes allergy symptoms that range from hay-fever to topical eczema. Wow!
#4 Maintain and Improve Heart Health
A study revealed married couples directly decreased cholesterol levels when they increased kissing. How? The 'kissing' promoted less stress and more relationship satisfaction, that in-turn lowered high blood pressure linked to cholesterol levels. Having a stable blood pressure allows for a good cardiovascular system and produces a healthy heart.
#5 Burn More Calories
An experiment by Dr. Alexander DeWees, found that the act of 'passionate kissing' generally burns up to 2–3 calories per minute! While lips touch in an embrace the heart beats faster releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine into the bloodstream, creating an 'adrenaline rush', the same hormone that makes most thrill seekers thin!
#6 Rain Or Shine: Improve Your Mood!
A range of 'feel good' hormones are released in the body when puckering-up with your partner. Here you'll find dopamine and serotonin, the natural chemicals responsible for desire, bonding, optimism and joy that helps to lift mood when one's emotionally 'blue'. Isn't it amazing to have healing powers all within a kiss?
#7 The STRESS Reliever
In the throes of a passionate kiss, the world outside is forgotten. The body relaxes as 'kissing' decreases the stress hormone called cortisol. It also stimulates the brain by altering oxytocin levels, allowing one to feel an overall sense of peace and calm.
#8 The PAIN Reliever
Instead of reaching for the pain reliever, why not experiment with a few kisses? Did you know kissing naturally releases the body chemical endorphin, which equals if not exceeds the narcotic morphine? And that's without the drug's side effects!
#9 It Can Prevent Cavities
A kiss a day may keep the dentist away! Kissing increases saliva production and this saliva washes away bacteria that can cause cavities, tooth decay, and plaque build-up
#10 Can Add Years To Your Life
Kissing can increase HIS life by 5 years. Studies have shown men live longer when they are married, and this especially includes them kissing their spouse often! That said, great kissing can curl your toes and have loads of benefits for ladies too!
