After losing 5 cognitive years from your stroke maybe you want to look younger. So ask your doctor how they are addressing your need for sex while in the hospital. This is non-negotiable.
Regular sex could now be the key to looking up to seven years younger, a researcher claims
Dr David Weeks, former head of old age
psychology at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, said people need to be aware
of the benefits of having a healthy sex life, particularly in their
later years.
He said sex has a
number of health benefits which can make men and women look between five
and seven years younger which includes; it causes the release of
endorphins, the ‘feel good’ chemical which acts as a natural painkiller
and reduces anxiety aiding sleep; exercise boosts circulation which is
good for the heart; and it also causes the human growth hormone to be
released which makes the skin look more elastic.
Dr Weeks said: “My message is that lovemaking is good.
“The stereotype of an elderly person is that when they get their
pension and bus pass, they stop having sex and that’s not true.
“Sexual satisfaction is a major contributor to quality of life, ranking
at least as high as spiritual or religious commitment and other morale
factors, so more positive attitudes towards mature sex should be
vigorously promoted.
“Sexuality is definitely not the prerogative of younger people and nor should it be.”
The 59-year-old will tell a British Psychological Society conference today about his research, where he asked men and women questions about their sex lives. He found those who looked younger than their age claimed to have sex an average 50 per cent more – in the 40-to-50 age group equating to three times a week rather than twice.
Dr Weeks’ findings of the benefits of a healthy sex life follow previous evidence that suggests regular lovemaking is associated with reducing the risk of early death.
