Lower Heart Attack Risk
Want a healthier heart? Have more sex. Sexual

activity helps keep levels of hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, in check. When these hormones are out of balance, conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis may develop.

Improve Sleep
Sex can help you sleep better. That's because orgasm simulates

the release of a hormone called prolactin, a natural sleep aide. Prolactin promotes feelings of relaxation and sleepiness.

Forget surgery and anti-aging creams, sex keeps you younger looking, too. Regular

sex stimulates the release of estrogen and testosterone, hormones that keep you young and vital looking. Estrogen promotes younger-looking skin and lustrous locks.
