One lesson a week sex might prolong the life of men and 80 years

Having sex at least once a week may be a factor in increasing the life expectancy of men and 80 years, say Taiwanese researchers.

Scientists conducted a study which showed that the man is enough at least once a week to enter into an intimate relationship to a 50% increase chances of living more than 80 years. Regular exercise such 50% lower risk of death from stroke by 40% from diabetes and 30% of heart attack.

Comparative analysis of life and age of death of elderly men showed that those who remained alone, more likely to die much earlier than their more fortunate counterparts. If a man was left without a wife or a mistress at the age of 65 years, the probability of his death to 80-th birthday increased by 70%.

The reason is the level of testosterone, which affects the whole body. The lower performance of this hormone in the male body, the higher the probability of death from these diseases (this is the survey of 800 men aged 50 to 91 years).

But it is for men sex useful. With respect to all women is not so simple. A group of German scientists has found that, strangely enough, regular sex does not affect the best way to a life expectancy of women: it causes hormonal changes rather unfavorable, while the men regular sex is good. According to scientists, to unmarried women who had never even cohabiting with a partner, noted the good mental health - as opposed to male bachelors who feel better when next to them was a woman.
