No "Kissing" Is Not A Sin....
- Kissing itself can actually help prevent tooth decay because it stimulates saliva, which helps reduce the incidence of cavities.
- Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters as intense exercise, like parachuting or distance running. The heart beats faster and breathing becomes deep and irregular.
- Between 10 million and 1 billion groups of bacteria are swapped with each smooch. But saliva also contains antibacterial chemicals that kill most bacteria before the germs are exchanged.
- A simple pucker uses two muscles, the upper and lower orbicularis otis surrounding the lips. A passionate kiss uses all 34 facial muscles.
- Ninety percent of the people of the world engage in kisses on the lips, anthropologists say. Some other cultures, such as Eskimos, use the "smell kiss" -- rubbing noses.
- A kiss slows the aging process, toning the cheeks and jaw muscles.
- Kissing prompts the brain to produce Oxytocin, a hormone that gives us that good-all-over feeling we experience when kissing.
- People who kiss their spouses each morning miss less work because of illness than those people who don't lay one on their husbands or wives. Those who kiss also have fewer car wrecks on the way to work, earn 20-30% more a month, and live five years longer.
So the English poet Rupert Brooke was right: "A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years," or the anonymous person who said, "Hugs warm you from the outside, but kisses warm you from within."
So friends never hesitate to kiss just, do it whenever you feel so
HAPPY KISSING
