Speaker 3 (00:32):
So can sex actually increase longevity?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Well, that's the question we're going to be talking about today.
If you're fifty five years old, increasing the number of
times you have sex from fifty eight times per year
to maybe one hundred and sixteen times per year has
an effect of making you as much as one and
a half years younger, especially if you have great quality sex. Furthermore,
(00:57):
numerous studies have shown than an act of sex life
is closely correlated with a longer life. Specifically, it seems
like sex men lower the risk for heart attacks, strokes,
and other heart diseases.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So, in fact, having regular sex is.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Very important, especially if you have a history of heart
problems in your family. You might be considering that if
you're young, sex is a very good way to improve
not only your relationships and of course your mood, but
also your health. Studies showed that one hundred and twenty
nine mothers in committed relationships over the course of a
week to assess overall relationship satisfaction, stress, partners support, and intimacy.
(01:39):
Women reporting sexual relations at least once a week had
significantly longer telomeres, so it's actually affecting your genetic makeup.
This held true even when adjusting for other factors such
as perceived stress and relationship quality. So many great inciting
questions to ask regarding sexual intimacies.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Role in the person health.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
So again, if you want to improve your longevity and
help you become a little bit younger and reduce your
heart risk, sex could be the answer.
