SEX REDUCES WRINKLES

by mary schook

Yes, you heard me correctly. Sex reduces wrinkles. That was one of the first things they taught us in esthetics school. In fact Mrs. B told us repeatedly "girls, never turn down the sex. It keeps you young!" We used to laugh at her, but in the end we discovered she was actually right. ACTIVE sex (I'm not talking about 3 minute passive sex) increases cardiovascular health by increasing oxygen and blood flow. When blood flow and oxygen increase, nutrients carried by our blood to the cells is delivered more efficiently. The result is firmer, more youthful skin.

Sex additionally increases lymphatic drainage and releases toxins out of the system through our sweat. The only problem is that unless you shower right away the toxins get reabsorbed into the body. You can read about sex and anti-aging more HERE FROM WORLDHEALTH.NET.


The less exciting option (and only option for some of us) that delivers similar, but even better results is the Power Plate® (vibration plate). It was and still is a major celebrity craze for people like Madonna and Cindy Crawford. Power Plate machines use the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week.* Over half the NFL athletes use it to strengthen their core, improve bone density, and recoop from their injuries faster.


So now that you know sex has rejuvenating benefits you might think twice about turning down the sex (safe of course). It sure beats my Elliptical machine at the gym every morning!!
