Given the choice of sex/intimacy or glass of wine...it was a difficult decision, so I consulted the research: which has the best health benefits?
Glass of Wine:
+ Lowers risk of heart disease
+ Lowers risk of some cancers
+ Includes beneficial phytochemicals, flavanoids and resveratrol
+ Increases good cholesterol (HDL)
- Caloric intake: between 120-270 calories per glass
Sex:
+ Good for cardiovascular health as well!
+ Increase antibodies
+ Increase endorphins and coricosteriods
+ Decreases stress hormones in body
+ Create emotional connectedness with partner
+ Expend calories: approx. 200 calories per hour, in fact
- How to put the negative aspect: possible...frustration?!
:-)
With all of these health benefits, plus one activity increases your caloric intake; the other you expend calories...so the logical conclusion is: do both!
