sex and mental healthThe relationship between sex and mental health has been a topic of discussion and research since decades. Scientists have come up with many astounding findings relating to this from time to time. While sometimes, they have put the two things on an opposing platform saying that stress makes you tired, distracted and unmotivated towards sex, and that too much of sexual desire leads to a distorted mental health, many times they have also come up with research findings that actually coordinated them in a positive way.


Following are some of the ways how sex, the most profound and beautiful thing of a human relationship, acts as a perfect stress-buster:

  • Too much of stress increases blood pressure, but when two individuals have sex, their bodies release “feel-good” hormones, including oxytocin and endorphins. Eventually, they begin to associate with each other with all the positive feelings, that acts as a sort of soul-uplifter. Frequent sexual intercourse has also been associated with lower diastolic blood pressure in cohabiting participants.
  • A great sex and healthy sex begins with self-esteem, and it boosts it. If the sex is heart-felt, loving, connected, and gives you mental peace, then it raises self-esteem.
  • The oxytocin released during orgasm also promotes sleep. And getting enough sleep, as we all know, is good for mental health.
Other benefits of healthy sex are:

  • Sex is a great form of exercise. It burns a lot of calorie.
  • Healthy sex improves cardiovascular health.
  • Intercourse in a balanced sex life boosts immunity.
  • Sex reduces pain and strengthens pelvic floor muscles.
  • Healthy and protected sex reduces prostrate cancer risk.

Growing old is inevitable, but it is saddest when the sign of aging appears on your face and body. Wrinkle, shagging skin, fine lines become so apparent that you start feeling old. But spending a few minutes a day reverses the clock of aging.

Old maxim “You’re only as old as you feel” avows that age is nothing but all in your mind.  If you feel younger than you are. You might have seen some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty. The reason behind this is they pay a bit attention towards their lifestyle, eating and drinking regiment.

It is always advisable to use a strong sunblock every day, eat lots of vitamin C–rich citrus (the vitamin helps prevent collagen loss), and apply cream with a retinol or retinoid (a vitamin A derivative) every night to promote skin-cell growth. These things seem so negligible that people avoid or bypass it.

It is truly magic to enable the people with Parkinson’s Disease or little physical strength to stand up and walk with ease without human support, that is made possible by the Intelligent Handrail developed by Tokyo Metropolitan University. This handrail controlled by computer technology helps the users stand up without difficulty and inconvenience, the equipment reacts simultaneously to the speed at which the user grips the handrail and the load from the handrail, and automatically moves forward to assist the user rather than demanding or increasing stress and force of the handrail drivers in order to match the speed.



The other best part of the handrail is that brings out the user's potential capacity to walk and stand up, Rather than having a machine move the user forcibly, this handrail amplifies the users potential ability. This intelligent, user-friendly system is really a boon to such patients.
