I have been talking to alot of my friends and clients over the past few years about our mental state of health and the effect it is having on alot of our lives.

Sex burns fat

Submitted by admin on Mon, 12/19/2011 - 22:21

"Studies have proven time and again that having sex boosts the body's production of essential hormones like PEA, which speed the metabolism of fat. On top of that it curbs those killer ravings for crazy foods you know you should not be eating. It regulates your appetite so you don't feel hungry when you're not. And if you're overeating cause you're bored, I'd say sex is more fun than a sandwhich or a sundae, anyway you stack it."
