Sex warning: These THREE health problems

1.High blood pressure

Getting a lot of action in the bedroom could ward off hypertension, or high blood pressure.

A 2006 study published in the journal Biological Psychology found that people who had regular sex had lower levels of blood pressure than people who didn’t.

It is thought that the stress-reducing effect of sex can help protect against high blood pressure.

2.Colds

Frequent love-making could help ward off colds and flu.

This is because orgasms have been found by scientists to boost your immune system, which protects against viruses, bacteria and parasites.

In a study by the University of Pennsylvania, researchers asked people who were having sex once or twice a week to give saliva samples.

The samples were discovered to contain a high concentration of an antibody, immunoglobulin A, which helps fight off bugs.

In fact, the samples contained 30 per cent more than people who had less frequent sex.

3.Prostate cancer

Men who are sexually active are less likely to develop prostate cancer.

It is thought this is because they ejaculate more, allowing potentially irritating or harmful substances to empty from the prostate.

A Harvard study found that men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month had a 33 per cent lower risk of prostate cancer.

This was compared to men who ejaculated just four to seven times a month throughout their lives.
