An Active Sex Life Is Alkalizing

When you have "sex" on your mind, chances are "alkalizing" is the last thing you're thinking about - but the two actually go hand-in-glove! Sex promotes both our physical and psychological health which in turn may help tomaintain the alkaline design of the body.



The following are eight ways in which having sexcan help to alkalize the body:



1) Sex Reduces Stress. Scottish researchers studied the sexua| activity of 24 women and 22 men, then put them in stressful situations such as public speaking. The subjects who had intercourse withstood stress better than those who either abstained from sex or engaged in other sexua| activities. The reduction of stress helps to reduce metabolic acids.



2) Sex Increases Metabolism. Sex burns up 85 calories in 30 minutes, and 40 half-hour sessions will burn about 3500 calories, which is enough to lose one pound of acidic weight/fat.



3) Sex Builds Cardiovascular Health. English researchers found fear of a stroke during sex is groundless. They followed 900 men for 20 years and found no connection. On the other hand, they found that the men who had sex at least twice a week reduced their risk of a heart attack by half compared to men who had it less than once a month.



4) Sex Helps Lymphatic Circulation. The lymphatic system functions with the contraction of muscles. Sex helps to activate the lymphatic system which in turn helps to move acids out of the tissues that can cause aches and pains.



5) Sex Helps To Reduce Acidity. When having sex dietary and metabolic acids are eliminated through perspiration from increased lymphatic circulation and through respiration from heavy breathing.



6) Sex Builds Immunity. Having sex several times a week has been linked with raising levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA), which helps to buffer acids that produce the symptomology of a cold, according to researchers at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.



7) Sex Builds Bonds. Sex raises the level of the hormone oxytocin, known popularly as the "love hormone," which results in building trust and strengthening relationship bonds. The more contact - including hugs - the higher the level of this "love hormone."



8) Sex Lowers Pain. As the love hormone oxytocin builds, endorphins rise, which results in lowering of acidic pain. If aches and pains are better after sex, it's because of oxytocin levels.



9) Sex Lowers Risk of Prostate Cancer. Frequent ejaculations in young men may lower the risk of prostate cancer in later years. Australian researchers studied men with and without prostate cancer, and found frequent ejaculations in men in their 20s offered protection, but found no such link for men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.



10) Sex Promotes Sleep. Oxycontin is at the forefront again - it helps both men and women sleep, which in turn promotes healthy alkaline weight and lower blood pressure. (Although women would almost universally say it had a much stronger effect on men, who are wide-awake one minute and sound asleep the next minute.)
