There is a remedy just as natural and more pleasant than the leek poultice or the lemon juice cure to prevent winter diseases such as colds, gastro or influenza : sex!
Manfred Schedlovski, Swiss researcher in Zurich, has established (new) evidence that sex positively stimulates our immune system: during intercourse, the number of T cells in the body increases significantly and can even be duplicated in the body.
T cells or T lymphocytes are white blood cells that play a key role in the immune response. Several studies have shown that T cells which encounter cells contaminated with different viruses enter these cells and trigger a self-destruction mechanism. “Sex increases the amount of these T cells, which promotes the body’s recovery but supports its immune system,” said Peter Schleicher, a professor of immunology who has also conducted studies on the subject.
Sex is good for our health, it’s scientifically proven!
Other studies have touted the health benefits of sex. For example, British researchers have shown that men who make love at least twice a week halve the risk of heart attack.
the sex protects the heartand would also help fight against depression. It even seems thatit makes smarter. So many reasons not to deprive yourself!
