It's All In The Kiss

Kissing is the fun part of falling and staying in love and there are

many songs and quotes about why that first kiss is so important.

Kissing is a universal language and requires no translation; its

meaning is the same all over the world. It has even been suggested

that the feel of the first kiss is how we determine if a person is the

one for us. Researchers expand on this by informing us that kissing is

biology's way of determining who we will be most genetically

compatible with.

Kissing has amazing health benefits and images of kissing create a

feel good vibe for many of us that help us to connect with feelings

associated with love and a feel good relationship. Not only does

kissing connect us in lust and love, but there are many other benefits

that do not meet the eye when there is a collision of the lips and

tongues.

1. Kissing increases happiness. Kissing increases levels of oxytocin,

also known as the "Love Hormone" and this floods our neurons with

dopamine. This feel good hormone puts lots of happy smiles on our

face.

2. Kissing strengthens our love bond. The more we connect with another

through kissing, the more our brains fire and wire for increased

positive connection. Couples who kiss regularly may live up to five

years longer than those who don't.

3. Kissing burns calories - Just Fabulous! Some researchers suggest

that kissing can burn up to 2 to 6 calories a minute.

4. Kissing lowers stress. It decreases the stress hormone cortisol and

increases serotonin levels in the brain. This contributes to lower

levels of anxiety.

5. Kissing keeps us healthy. It improves our immunity by releasing

antibodies that kill bacteria. Who would have thought that kissing can

assist in the prevention of cavities by increasing saliva that washes

our teeth? A kiss a day may very well keep the dentist at bay!
