It's been scientifically proven that frequent kissing stabilizes

cardiovascular activity, decreases high blood pressure, cholesterol and

overall makes one's life better. The following is a medical account of this

quite pleasant activity.

 

Dentistry

 

Kissing can substitute any chewing gum that fights plaque and cavity. The

thing is, this occupation, namely kissing, is capable of preventing

cavities, similar to toothpaste. Such phenomenon can be explained in the

following way. Kissing stimulates profuse salivation which helps protect

one " s teeth from cavity, since it contains calcium and phosphorus. In

addition, passionate kissers are less likely to suffer from gingivitis.

Also, saliva becomes neutral in the course of a kiss thus preventing teeth

from a number of diseases.

 

Cosmetics

 

A passionate kiss causes tensions in more than 30 facial muscles. It helps

to smooth out skin and increase blood circulation. Perhaps, it is better to

kiss then use various creams and apply masks? Kissing would surely be more

pleasant!

 

Diet

 

We lose no less than 12 calories during every passionate kiss. However, one

does not have to be a love fanatic to lose a few extra pounds. Scientists

claim that 3 kisses a day (20 seconds each) will be enough to make you lose

an entire extra pound.

 

Anesthetic

 

The so-called endorphin hormone serves as an anesthetic. The more passionate

the kiss, the more endorphin is being secreted. One kiss is enough to

secrete a sedative dose of these hormones, which in fact exceeds a minimal

dose of morphine.

 

Also, another interesting aspect of kissing deals with antibiotics. In the

course of a kiss, natural antibiotics are being secreted in saliva. They

also possess anesthetic effect. Simply forget about painkillers and kiss,

kiss, kiss!

 

Anti-stress therapy

 

A kiss prevents the initial formation of stress hormones-glucocorticoids.

These are the exact hormones to be blamed for high blood pressure, high

cholesterol, muscle weakening, and insomnia. Generally, a kiss can calm down

one " s nervous system quite effectively and rid oneself of stress. That is

why those who enjoy kissing are often optimists.

 

In addition, kissing triggers massive adrenaline rush, which battles stress

hormone hydrocortisone and grants us cheerful mood.

 

Finally, at least three kisses a day leave you in a romantic, pleasant mood

for no less than 24 hours.

 

Vaccination

 

Our saliva contains the most bacteria. About 80% of them are the same in all

people. Nearly 20% of them are unique in every human being. Upon mixing with

other particles in the partner " s mouth, they trigger various reactions of

microorganisms. As a result, this gives one " s immune system an impulse to

form certain antibodies. Scientifically speaking, this process is termed

cross-immunotherapy.

 

Express analysis of genetic compatibility

 

This is no exaggeration! While you are kissing, your brain conducts instant

chemical analysis of your partner's saliva and issues a " verdict " of your

genetic compatibility. That's why do not take long until the first kiss. It

is better to establish your compatibility right from the start.

 

Overall, kissing has an incredibly positive effect on the organism. Those

who kiss quite frequently are less likely to suffer from stomach, bladder,

blood infections. Also, you can rid yourself of hiccups by means of.you

guessed it-kissing!
