INTERNATIONAL KISSING DAY. KISSING IS GOOD FOR YOU. DO YOU KNOW IT?
Whether we were 10 or 20, we all remember our first kisses. And a first kiss with anyone new is always - or at least it should be - exciting, with sparks flying and a feeling of fizzy potential.
But as relationships progress and the honeymoon period passes, it’s all too common for couples to kiss less than they used to.
Kissing, however, whether a snog or a peck, actually has lots of benefits both for your personal health and the health of your relationship.
“This is because the hormones dopamine and oxytocin get released when we kiss, especially kissing in a sensual way - think French kiss (some research suggests for at least 15 minutes at a time).
“Together these hormones make us feel good, as they decrease stress levels and increase relationship satisfaction. Collectively it makes kissing a pretty healthy thing to do.”
So kisses as much as its possible!
