The love Rx...


How LOVE keeps you healthy

Have you ever heard that Love doesn’t just make you feel good-it can fight disease, boost immunity, and lower stress?

Who doesn’t love being in Love? Who doesn’t love having someone that listens to you vent out about work, lets you have that last slice of pizza, and usually remembers to take the trash? She always thinks you’re sexy, even in thermal underwear and bunny slippers.
Love turns you into a much kinder person, things around you look brighter. You become stronger, with health gains that range from faster healing and better control over chronic illness to living longer.
Women in a “good” marriage have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those in high-stress relationship.

The benefits of frequent BEAR hugs…
Hugging may dramatically lower blood pressure and boost blood levels of oxytocin, a relaxing hormone that plays a key role in labor, breastfeeding and orgasms.

“Men who had sex two or more times a week cut their fatal heart attack risk in half”

Those who had sex with their partners once or twice a week had significantly higher amounts of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that is the first sign of defense in fighting disease and infections.

Steady sex may also make women healthier by making relationships happier.

So, by all means people...have more sex, it's GOOD for you!

"Sex is like going to the gym -- even if you don't want to do it, it energizes you"

It's true, she always lets me have the last slice of pizza. And, oddly, I feel healthier for it! :)

Ya know, I'm probably one of those oddities. I'm not a big fan of being in love. Actually, I hate it. (I love family and friends, but being IN LOVE is completely different.)
