Sex Exercise
Work that body, get physical not just because Olivia Newton-John wants to hear your body.

It doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to know that when you move your body energy is expending, burning calories and increasing blood flow in the process. All these things have a myriad of benefits to your wellbeing.
Sex and Happiness
I can’t stress enough that more sex and less stress is best when oxytocin is released leaving you happier and at peace. You see, this oxytocin is a chemical that has a calming effect on the nervous system and counteracts the stress hormone cortisol. So, it basically makes you a happy person. Not to mention it’s great for the self-esteem. Two lover’s bodies colliding in the night to the soundtrack of Barry White is an experience that will allow you to grow as a person while getting on down while getting your confidence all up.
Stress is bad. Stress is linked to a long list of medical conditions both physically and mentally I’m not even going to bother to list them all. Anything you can do alleviate stress should be done.
The oxytocin released during sex can also relieve pain and headaches. One of the many effects of oxytocin is natural pain killing properties.
There is no doubt – well I’m not bragging, and this is only anecdotal evidence – but when I have been lucky enough to have regular sex, life has just been better in so many different ways. The joy of waking up in the morning with a spring in my step, dancing around the kitchen to Olivia in my underwear cooking an omelette for my lover.
And that leads me to eggs. Eggs are great for your libido and they are jam-packed with vitamins B5 and B6 that aid in balancing hormones to fight stress. Some would argue a stress-free life is the key to longevity along with a healthy and balanced diet of course. So, pop and egg and jump in bed – ha!
