Healthy Benefits Of Kissing
The Kiss Bliss: The popular Race movie song “zara zara touch touch me, zara zara kiss me, kiss me” where Katrina Kaif is seen dancing is actually fit to be an anthem for good health too. This might make you feel puzzled so let me explain.
Kissing is one of the most basic ways of engaging physically with another person.
An act of love and endearment, kissing has a huge effect on our physical, mental, emotional health.
Whether it’s an innocent peck on the cheek of your baby brother or the more intimate kissing on the lips with your partner, it has huge health benefits and no wonder it comes to us so naturally.
“Kissing is intimate: You’re right there in the space of your soul. It gets to the core of your heart and spirit because it’s such a lovely way to express and receive love and affection. A kiss a day really can keep the doctor away.” – Andréa Demirjian Author, Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about One of Life’s Sweetest Pleasures
Kissing injects Happiness
When we kiss there is a rush of chemicals in the brain that activate the pleasure centers. The chemicals associated with happiness like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine all give us a happy high and help lower stress levels. It’s like the elixir of life being injected into the system. So kiss away!
Good for the Heart
Kissing with passion gets the heartbeat going in a healthy way. This in turn helps lower blood pressure. Passionate kissing makes the blood vessels dilate hence the blood flows in an optimum way and helps it go to the vital organs smoothly. While the more emotion laden heart feels oh so good when kissing the organ heart also enjoys the act.
Kiss and Bond
Human beings are by nature seeking partnership. When Oxytocin is released there it causes the desire for affection and bonding. Kissing is a great way to bond with your partner and is very healthy for improving relationships and in keeping relationships long lasting.
Just Kiss Don’t Stress
