You want to put the odds on your side to
age in great shape. So make love! Sex is great for the heart, health and
morale. Scientific evidence in support.
Sport is health. Yes, but now, put on a
jogging and sneakers for a physical activity, it does not tempt everyone. Did
you know that making love is a real sport? As the heart is a muscle, making
love makes it work. But sex is not beneficial only for the heart muscle. A
short review of the health benefits of our horizontal gym (or not).
Make love: good for the heart, of course
Making love has an effect comparable to
sport: the rate of catecholamines in the blood increases. These hormones, such
as adrenaline, induce physiological changes that prepare us to cope with
stress. Blood glucose levels increase, as does blood pressure and heart rate.
What's more, regular physical activity
reduces the risk of a heart attack. Because during the act, the pulsations of
the heart increase of about 70 pulsations / minutes up to 100, 120, or more.
What strengthens it.
Practicing sexual activity - or sports in
general - only episodically increases the risk of infarction by 3.5 and sudden
cardiac death by 2.7 compared to daily practice.
"The less sex you have, the more
likely you are to trigger a cardiac event. Conversely, the more you practice,
the more your heart is protected "confirms Professor Xavier Jouven of the
European Gorges Pompidou Hospital.
Love is good for the heart, a hypothesis
confirmed by the American Heart Association: heart and non-cardiac can easily practice
regular sexual activity, to contribute to the health of their heart. Another
study done in Boston and published in the medical journal Jama emphasizes,
however, that cardiovascular benefits result only from regular activity. So, at
work ...
Sex and sudden death: a legend?
Yes, it is possible to die in full orgasm.
It's not a legend. But according to studies on the subject, "in
action" cases of death would initially concern people who are usually not
sexually active or who are having extra-marital sexual intercourse.
The study published in Jama shows that if
one multiplies the physical activities in the week, one reduces by one third
the risks of sudden death of cardiac origin and 50% those of infarction.
Morality: be faithful and sporty, it's safer.
Sex: an anti-cancer weapon?
Scientists are very interested in the
benefits of regular sexual activity on health. Thus, many of them have managed
to determine that sex would have protective effects against certain cancers.
The prostate, on the men's side
Sexual activity, as well as masturbation,
would reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer one day. Why ? Because the
prostate, responsible for 40,000 new cases of cancer each year, is involved in
the production of seminal fluid. Regular ejaculation would help maintain good
shape in this gland.
On the other hand, if it seems important
to ejaculate regularly, the multiplication of the sexual partners could be at
the origin of more aggressive forms of cancer of the prostate. This is probably
due to an increased risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease or
infection.
