Why having more sex should be your New Year's resolution
When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, there are a few that seemingly everyone vows to undertake. Some folks pledge to finally lose those 10 pounds, while others decide to stop drinking, temporarily or permanently. Other people say they’ll start an exercise routine, or swear that it’s time to quit smoking.
While all of these resolutions are healthy and admirable, we have one that we think is a little more exciting with its own set of zesty benefits: You should pledge to have more sex in 2022. Here’s why.
Having more sex might make you more physically fit
Given that many new year’s resolutions revolve around getting physically fit, why not try having more sex instead of pounding the pavement or hopping on an exercise bike? According to the American Heart Association, getting it on more often counts as a moderate exercise, similar to walking quickly or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Plus, depending on how athletic you are in the bedroom, you might find yourself getting more toned after a good romp. Isn’t that better than a Stairmaster?
Oh, and being intimate more often can also help you lose weight, too, so why not kill two birds with one stone? For you especially limber and fit folks, half an hour of intercourse can shave 200 calories off of your daily input/output, says science. Sign us up.
Your immune system may improve
To say that we live in unprecedented times is a cliche that will make the pandemic-weary among us bristle. However, that’s another benefit that you can reap from having more sex. As per a study in The Journal of Sex Research, being intimate with your partner can boost your immune system, which we are all about going into 2022. You might even find yourself less likely to come down with nasties like influenza or even a garden variety cold. Talk about benefits.
Your brain function might be boosted
Chances are you’re familiar with the recommendation to “work smarter, not harder.” Well, as it turns out, pledging to have sex more often might be just what you need to manifest that empowering adage. According to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, folks over the age of 50 who made sure to have sex on the reg had better memory function than those who didn’t. Even if you’re much younger and enjoying a youthful libido (and brain), that’s promising news!
