SEX IS EXERCISE TOO! This of course is my favorite exercise, how about you? I was only able to copy and paste page one. Sex is Exercise Too By Kelli Calabrese MS, CSCS, ACE eDiets Contributor Updated: February 23, 2007 1 | 2 | 3 | Next » Print Article Email Article Blog RSS / As if you needed any more incentive to hop in the sack with your honey, a study has concluded that having sex three times a week burns the same calories as running about 30 miles per week. Given the choice, I'm guessing a majority of people would prefer having sex! Finally, an activity that's soooo pleasurable and good for you. Experts believe that sex in a loving relationship has a healing effect on body and mind, but that promiscuous sex has the opposite effect (sorry to burst your bubble). Passion stuck in a rut? Your diet has a powerful effect on your sex drive. Maybe it’s time to shift gears and let eDiets help you keep your engine revved up! Click here for more. Sex, like exercise, produces hormones including endorphins and prostaglandins that not only give you a great workout but also reduce pain levels, boost your immune system, relieve stress and lower your cholesterol levels. A healthy sex life can actually help you live longer and slow down the aging process.

Some researchers claim endorphins have more than twice the strength of morphine -- with no side effects or addictive results. A rise of endorphins is measurable after exercise and sexual activity. Endorphins released during sex are so powerful that they have a placebo effect. Just think in detail about sex and expect an endorphin rush. Your body makes them naturally. Unfortunately, it also makes enzymes that "chew up" the endorphins. The bad enzymes are encouraged by stress and will deplete your endorphin storage. Your sexual prowess depends on health, fitness level and past experiences. In the Journal of the American Medical Association, scientists found that sexual dysfunction is more likely among those with poor physical and emotional health -- and plays a major role in negative experiences in sexual relationships and with overall well-being. Maximize your results by working out at the gym and in bed. Engaging in an active lifestyle is one of the biggest boosters for your sex life. The more fit you are, the better your sex life will be. A study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that men, who exercised vigorously for 20 to 30 minutes a day, were about half as likely to have erection problems as inactive men. The scientists in this study also discovered that as a man gained weight, he became more susceptible to experiencing<b> erectile dysfunction. </font></b>--- more  |
