Romance / HEALTH KISS AND SEX by phyenom: 2:21pm On Oct 06, 2016
1. Kissing helps reduce blood pressure
Making out isn't just good for your emotional heart, it gives your anatomical one a workout, too. "Kissing passionately gets your heartbeat revved in a healthy way that helps lower your blood pressure," says Demirjian. "It dilates your blood vessels -- blood is flowing in a good, solid fashion and getting to all your vital organs."
2. Kissing zaps cramps and headaches
"Kissing is great if you have a headache or menstrual cramps," says Demirjian. You may be inclined to wave away advances when you're curled into an achy ball, but the blood-vessel dilation brought on by a good long smooching session can really help ease your pain. In fact, Demirjian recommends replacing the ol' "Not tonight, dear -- I have a headache" line with, "Honey, I have a headache. Come kiss me!"
3. Kissing fights cavities
A smooch-a-thon gets all, er, fluids flowing -- including your saliva. "When you're kissing, you're secreting more saliva in your mouth," says Demirjian. "That's the mechanism that washes away the plaque on your teeth that leads to cavities." (So much more fun than gargling!)
4. Kissing amps up your happy hormones
"If you're feeling stressed or rundown, a little kissing or lovemaking [is] actually the elixir you need to... feel better," says Demirjian. "It will relax, restore and revitalize you.... The feel-good chemicals in the brain get percolating: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin -- things you can get from the rush of exercising."
5. Kissing burns (a few) calories
It can't compare to 30 minutes on the elliptical, but a vigorous makeout session can burn 8 to 16 calories per smooch, says Demirjian. "Kissing and lovemaking can be a vigorous exercise if you're fully engaged," she says. "You need to have a passionate kiss [in order to burn those calories], but it doesn't have to be a 10-hour makeout session."
6. Kissing boosts self-esteem
One German study found that men who got a nice juicy kiss from their wives before leaving for work made more money. "If he leaves his home happy, he's more productive at work because he's not feeling emotionally distressed, so he's going to make more money," explains Demirjian. "Kissing has so much to do with your self-esteem and feeling loved and connected."
7. Kissing can give you a facelift (kind of)
Per Demirjian, deep kissing can shape up the neck and jawline, which are often trouble spots for those concerned about looking older. "Your mouth has a number of facial muscles," she says. "When those are engaged in kissing, you can tighten and tone them."
8. Kissing is a barometer for sexual compatibility
It can be an excellent way to check out a potential partner for sexual compatibility before getting naked and emotionally involved, says Demirjian. But if your very first liplock with a new partner is meh, she recommends giving him or her one more shot.
"Sometimes during the first kiss, people are feeling awkward, nervous or embarrassed," she says. "That might not breed the most seductive, sexy experience." Second kiss is crappy, too? That's your cue to take your lips -- and the rest of you -- elsewhere.
What do you guyz think
Let's get it on.

Do we really need to make a case for having hot sex? No, not really. But we're gonna do it anyway! (In the name of knowledge, of course.) So here for your edification are the top seven health benefits of hot sex. Enjoy!

1. You'll stay calm, cool and collected. The endorphins and oxytocin that flood your body during sex will keep you feeling Zen.

2. You get toned up. Sex is a FABULOUS workout, and it will help you keep things tight. Do you need any other reason to head to bed?

3. You'll feel less achy. Orgasms release endorphins that act like a painkiller, knocking out a wide variety of physical woes, from headaches to pre-menstrual cramps to backaches. Yay!

4. You're less likely to need a sick day. According to a study at Wilkes University, people who get it on regularly have a higher concentration of the antibody immunoglobulin A, which gives your immune system quite a boost.

5. You'll be a perkier person. Okay, so this one is just a notion put forth by the State University of New York, but they are theorizing that one reason that women who have unprotected sex report happier moods and less depressive periods is because of semen. Because semen contains such mood-enhancing substances as oxytocin and serotonin (just to name a few), the SUNY study put forth the idea that semen can elevate one's mood via vaginal-absorption. (PLEASE NOTE: we are not recommending unprotected sex. Be smart and use a condom.)

6. You'll have a prettier punim. First off (for those of you outside New York), no, punim is not a dirty word. We're talking about your glowing face! You know how your heart gets to pounding during sex? Well, that leads to improved blood flow, which will temporarily give you a gorgeous glow.

7. Better sleep. Ever wonder why your guy conks out right after sex … and you most likely follow him (I know I do)? That's because all that delightful oxytocin that just made you feel so calm and relaxed and fond of your partner also lulls you to sleep.
8. It helps you sleep better.

The oxytocin that is released during orgasm also promotes sleep—which may explain why your guy goes from 60 to zero in about five seconds after a romp.

9. It relieves stress and reduces depression.

You may not feel like getting down and dirty after a difficult day at work, but sex can actually help reduce stress. Studies have shown that after having sex with a partner (as opposed to masturbating), women had lower levels of stress hormone cortisol, lower blood pressure and reported being in a better mood. One study even found that women who were exposed to semen were less depressed than those who used condoms. (Though we do NOT recommend skipping the condom.......
2. Heart Health

Men who made love regularly (at least twice a week) were 45 percent less likely to develop heart disease than those who did so once a month or less, according to one study.3

Sexual activity not only provides many of the same benefits to your heart as exercise but also keeps levels of estrogen and testosterone in balance, which is important for heart health.

3. Lower Blood Pressure

Sexual activity, and specifically intercourse, is linked to better stress response and lower blood pressure.4

Controls weight
Eating right and exercising regularly can help you avoid excess weight gain and maintain a healthy weight. According to the Mayo Clinic, being physically active is essential to reaching your weight-loss goals. Even if you’re not trying to lose weight, regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, boost your immune system, and increase your energy level.

Plan for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week. If you can’t devote this amount of time to exercise, look for simple ways to increase activity throughout the day. For example, try walking instead of driving, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or pace while you’re talking on the phone.

Eating a balanced, calorie-managed diet can also help control weight. When you start the day with a healthy breakfast, you avoid becoming overly hungry later, which could send you running to get fast food before lunch.

Additionally, skipping breakfast can raise your blood sugar, which increases fat storage. Incorporate at least five servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet per day. These foods, which are low in calories and high in nutrients, help with weight control. Limit consumption of sugary beverages, such as sodas and fruit juices, and choose lean meats like fish and turkey.

Improves mood
Doing right by your body pays off for your mind as well. The Mayo Clinic notes that physical activity stimulates the production of endorphins. Endorphins are brain chemicals that leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. Eating a healthy diet as well as exercising can lead to a better physique. You’ll feel better about your appearance, which can boost your confidence and self-esteem. Short-term benefits of exercise include decreased stress and improved cognitive function.

It’s not just diet and exercise that lead to improved mood. Another healthy habit that leads to better mental health is making social connections. Whether it’s volunteering, joining a club, or attending a movie, communal activities help improve mood and mental functioning by keeping the mind active and serotonin levels balanced. Don’t isolate yourself. Spend time with family or friends on a regular basis, if not every day. If there’s physical distance between you and loved ones, use technology to stay connected. Pick up the phone or start a video chat.

Eating a diet rich in fruit may reduce risk for stroke, other cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes.
A fruit containing eating pattern is part of an overall healthy diet and may protect against certain cancers.
Fruit helps maintain optimum health due to the health promoting phytochemicals it contains – many of which are still being identified.
One to 2-1/2 cups of fruit are recommended each day, depending on how many calories you need. To find out how much fruit you need, try the Healthy Eating Planner.TO KNOW MORE ON HEALTH TIPS VISIT www.dentalmaxplus.com

Overall, 84% of all footballers had at least one decayed or filled tooth.

Dental “erosion”, where the tooth is worn away by acid, was present in 53% of footballers. And 77% of footballers had half of their mouth affected by gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). In 5%, this was moderate to severe and irreversible.

Some 8% of footballers had at least one ulcer, abscess or open sore, while one in 10 had regular toothache and 16% experienced pain in their mouths. Over a quarter (27%) had sensitivity to hot or cold drinks.

We’ve been brushing our teeth all our lives, so you’d think by now we’d have it perfected. But surprisingly, not many of us are getting it right. In fact, our survey in May 2015 revealed that 47% of Brits confessed to not knowing how to brush their teeth properly. And a shocking 29% admitted to not even using toothpaste when they brush.

Here are some tips from our experts on how we should really be taking care of our teeth, some of which may surprise you.

The ideal blob of toothpaste should be no bigger than a pea
Change your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are worn down
Brush twice a day, and wait at least 20 minutes after eating anything acidic before you brush
Use floss or interdental brushes at least once a day before brushing to clean between your teeth
Wait at least 30 minutes after brushing before you use mouthwash.
