“Come one darling! We are no young anymore!” That was Michelle’s negative comments on her hubby’s night call! The exasperated husband then had to show her the CD that stresses the benefits of active sex life even in old age. Well, don’t know whether Michelle finally agreed or no, but it’s time when you should realize the importance of active sex life.

With the modern medical comforts we are getting these days, our longevity is enhanced manifolds. However, the modern day stress and strain are responsible for many serious maladies including heart diseases, early heart attacks, and other problems. If good sex saves you from heart attacks, why not seek pleasure in the eternal love affair nature has taught us? Let’s see the advantages of active sex life to prevent heart attacks:

(1) To make you feel good, let me tell you that an energetic sexual activity burns at least 200 calories! Well, that’s good to start with. A vigorous sex is been equated with 15 minutes on treadmill!

(2) In women, the risk of heart disease enhances after menopause. During this time, if they exercise active sex life thrice or more a week, their chances of getting heart diseases decrease.

(3) In men, active sex boosts the testosterone production that leads to stronger bones and joints.

(4) Sexual satisfaction leads to emotional bonding between husband and wife. This plays a great role in reducing the day to day stress levels in the couple. This obviously boosts your cardiac health.

(5) It is aptly said that a good night of sex is nature’s tranquilizer. It helps you shed all worries and helps accentuate your sleep. Good sleep obviously reduces stress level to a great extent.

(6) Release of oxytocin during active sex leads to release of endorphins. The endorphins help you enhance your pain threshold. Even the sense of smell is enhanced due to prolactin rise during sex, which in turn develops new neurons in the olfactory bulb of brain.

Well, it’s evident in many researches too that the couples who have good and healthy sex life live longer and happily. So, guys, never think you are old to sex. Indulge in your sexual activity at least thrice a week and reap the benefits on cardiac front!
