The Magical 10 Second Kiss

This is step one for planning the sensual life of your dreams. Kissing can help you lose weight, relax, express love, boost your immune system, improve self-esteem, manage stress and stimulate your brain. Have I captivated your interest? There is one caveat; you have to be kissing your significant other. Here’s something that feels good, is natural, contains no additives, has no calories and is good for your health. So pucker up, it could save your life.
Why Kissing? There are a number of reasons.
A serious, tongue-tangling French kiss exercises all the underlying muscles of the face - which some say could keep you looking younger and certainly looking happier. A pucker kiss only uses two muscles. A real French kiss activates all 34 of your facial muscles, and the highest level of serious making out, properly done, engages every muscle and tendon in your body.
Kissing can slow the aging process - it tones your jaw and cheek muscles, reducing sagging. Kissing might even help you lose weight, says Bryant Stamford, PhD, professor and director of health promotion center at the University of Louisville. “During a really, really passionate kiss, you might burn two calories a minute–double your metabolic rate,” he says. (This compares to 11.2 calories per minute you burn jogging on a treadmill).
Kissing is a “sensual meditation”, says Joy Davidson, PhD, psychologist and clinical sexologist in Seattle, Washington. “It stops the buzz in your mind, it quells anxiety, and it heightens the experience of being present in the moment.
