Sex Protects Men’s Hearts

Men who have regular sex may be protecting their hearts more than they realize.

A study published in The American Journal of Cardiology found that sexually active men. Especially those who have sex at least twice a week, have a lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who have infrequent sex.

The research observed that regular sexual activity is associated with better cardiovascular function. Also with less chronic stress, and a more favorable hormonal balance.

Moreover these factors directly influence heart health. Since stress, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction are key elements in the development of heart attacks.

The authors explain that the benefit comes not only from the physical exertion. But also from the positive psychological impact. With greater emotional well-being, reduced cortisol levels, and better regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

Also the study clarifies that this is not an absolute guarantee or a substitute for healthy habits. But rather a factor associated with a lower risk of heart disease within a balanced lifestyle.
