Kissing is the touch or pressing of one’s lips against another person or an object. A kiss can mean so many things depending on what type of kiss it is and who it’s coming from.
A kiss can express sentiments of love, passion, romance, sexual attraction, sexual activity, sexual arousal, affection, respect, greeting, friendship, peace, and good luck, among many others.
Generally, kissing is a universal sign of affection for people. By kissing someone, you show that you care, and you essentially love them, reinforce feelings of trust, closeness, and intimacy with another.
A kiss brings us into close physical proximity with the other, close enough to smell and taste them.
Kisses are not just reserved solely for the face and there are plenty of places where a kiss on the body is welcomed. I guess you can imagine what I mean. Erotic kiss is so common, that it usually play an important role in the dance of human sexuality.
Some women who I interviewed recently, say they can tell if a relationship is going to work after the first kiss. They just get a feeling, an intuition.
And while kissing may feel oh-so-good, kissing also offers some huge health benefits.
The following are the 5 reasons you should be kissing more.
Burn off Excess Calories
While it’s not exactly a traditional exercise, a passionate kiss does burn off two calories every minute, and up to 10 calories for really intense kissing! So pucker up and get down to business!
Help Improve Your Heart
Your heart is one of the most important organs of your body, so it only makes sense to treat it as a top priority! Besides, keep in mind your heart pumps blood to another area of your body that you’ll need for after the kissing! Nonetheless, kissing gives you that ‘rush of excitement’ feeling, right? Well that feeling is caused by a little chemical in the body excreted by the adrenal glands called adrenaline. Adrenaline helps to move the blood around your body faster and more efficiently, thus improving blood circulation and improving overall cardiovascular health!
Keep Your Teeth Sparkling White
Kissing is one of a natural ways of keeping your teeth clean. What?! It is true! But how it works? As you know, there are glands in your mouth pumping out saliva to digest food and other particles. When you kiss someone, these saliva glands work even harder and can help remove leftover food particles from your last lunch break. This excess saliva, in turn, helps to prevent cavities and other common dental problems!
Looking Younger And Happier
During a serious, tongue-tangling French kiss exercises, you use up to 34 different muscles around your face and over 100 different postural muscles! This facial workout keeps these muscles working and helps to improve the flow of blood to the face. This fresh blood carries all sorts of great vitamins, and antioxidants to help keep your face looking younger, healthier and certainly looking happier!
Reduce Your Stress
Stress is such a horrible feeling. The feeling that everything is impossible, but needs to be completed or else there will be even more consequences. The feeling that the entire world is on top of you and you can’t do a thing about it. Well there is a fix for this, kissing! Kissing helps to reduce the cortisol levels in your blood caused by stress and helps to keep the body calm. Dopamine, Serotonin, and other feel good hormones flood your brain after a kiss and help to create this sense of well-being!
