100 abs a day, push-ups and a balanced diet, better than somersaults? Alex Zhavoronkov, director of the Biogerontology Research Foundation in the UK, puts aside the health benefits of sex. For this British researcher, the best way to live a long life is through sport and a healthy, light diet.
The magic recipe, the researcher details in his new book “Generation Ageless”, the release of which made the front page of the British media. He distills the bad habits you would have to break to live to be 150 in the first place sex and the romantic relationship. The message is clear: according to this doctor, these are just boring distractions that only drain our life energy.

And besides, I’m sorry to say, but post-coital relationships, can be pretty boring,” the skeptic continues.
It’s a safe bet that this theory will be debunked by fervent defenders of health benefits of sex. Several studies have established that making love regularly protects against heart disease, reduces sensitivity to pain, stress. Sex would even have an effect anti-aging.
It remains to choose which camp our heart swings towards.
