How to Increase Your Libido with a Simple Recipe

A recent study conducted on intimacy has shown that healthy activities in bed reduces stress and make someone looks younger. This is because sexual satisfaction reduces stress, encourages better sleep, and brings contentment and greater happiness in addition to the hormonal and chemical changes that intimacy brings. In Arizona State University, a study on 58 middle-aged women’s physical affection or intimacy behavior with a partner significantly predicted lower negative mood and stress, and higher positive mood the following day. Simply put, researchers found that sex and physical intimacy led women to feel less stressed and be in a better mood the next day. Intimacy raises levels of endorphins, DHEA (Carbon endogenous natural steroid hormone) and growth hormone, which helps lengthen your life. Sex also lowers the stress hormone adrenaline, and the steroid hormone cortisol, which decreases the life span.
