Jason Sudeikis' significant weight loss has gained a lot of attention of late. Now, the Horrible Bosses actor reveals his secret. Having sex with his fiancée, Olivia Wilde, is the reason to be believed behind his weight loss. Sudeikis seems to have a lot of faith in this form of exercise.

While it is still doubtful if Sudeikis meant all this in good humor, it can be surprising for many to know that sex is more than pleasure to our body. It surely has a significant positive effect on health factors like calories and blood pressure.

Blood Pressure

Sex can lower blood pressure by lowering your stress level. Study shows that people who have regular sex respond better in a potential stressful situation than those who abstain from sex. Having less stress works well on your blood pressure. Another study says that your diastolic BP tends to get lower for people who have frequent sex and stay together.

Immunity

Even if you have sex once or even twice in a week, your body gets a higher level of immunoglobin A. this is an antibody which is capable of protecting you from colds or any other infection.

Calories

Having sex for thirty minutes can burn more than 85 calories. Whereas 85 may not be a big number, it gets bigger when you add up the number for a month. In order to have better sex, you should work both psychologically and physically.

Heart Health

A British study that went on for 20 years shows that people who have sex more than twice a week are half likely of having a heart attack than those who have it once in a month or less. There is a conventional notion that sex may lead to heart attack. There is no scientific link found yet between heart attack and sex.

Pain

Oxytocin is responsible for boosting endorphins which are natural painkillers for your body. Sex may improve PMS, arthritis and headache. So, next time your partner holds headache as an excuse for not having sex, you know what to say.
