Sex twice a week reduces heart disease in men
More good reasons to enjoy an active sex-life...
For 16 years Scientists at the New England Research Institute in Massachusetts monitored the
sexual activity of more than a thousand men aged from 40 to 70 years old. They have discovered that
sexual activity is good for men as frequent sex can almost halve the risk of heart in men and now reporting
their findings in the American Journal of Cardiology.
It is not perfectly clear whether the
sexual health benefits of a sex-life activity result from physical or emotional
effects on the heart, or both. But, according to data collected, men who had sex twice a week or more were found
to be up to 45 per cent less likely to develop serious heart conditions than men having sex less than once a month.
Men involved in this study who desired, and had, sex on a regular, frequent basis were found more likely to be
generally healthy than those who didn't. It was also probable that the fact they enjoyied established relationships
that imply a level of contentment, activity and emotional satisfaction, may also contribute to cardiac health.
All volunteers were questioned regularly about their sex lives and monitored for any sign of incipient heart disease.
Results were balanced against factors such as age, height, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
It has long been thought that an active sex-life may have positive effects on health but there has been little
prior research into its effects on rates of cardiac or other serious disease. However, one study at the National
Cancer Institute has demonstrated that men who had sex five times a week or more are less prone to avoid
prostate cancer
problems. And, according to researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, having sex at least
weekly in winter is believed to increase resistance to colds and flu.
It is not perfectly clear whether sex could offer all answers related to
men health questions. But it is known that having sex increases blood levels of immunoglobulin A6. This substance binds to invasive organisms
in the body, triggering immune system responses to destroy them.
