Kissing Is Healthy, Sleeping Your Personality 07-18-2007
Wednesday we talked about a lot of stupid people, including the dad who took his son to the running of the bulls and the "parents" who were too busy playing video games to feed their kids. Plus kissing is good for your health and how you sleep tells something about you.
Kissing Is Good For Your Health You know that smooching feels sensational, but it also benefits your bod, says MeiMei Fox, co-author of "Sexual Fitness." Here, what kissing does and why:
- Keeps you healthy -- A stress-soothing kiss reduces your body's level of cortisol, a chemical that strains your immune system.
- Bolsters your bond -- A romantic lip lock triggers the release of oxytocin, the hormone associated with intimate connections.
- Fights cavities -- The saliva rush from a mouth watering make-out session battles plaque buildup on your teeth.
- Ups thrills -- A high-octane tongue tangle fuels a dopamine, endorphin, and adrenaline buzz that gives your bod a randy rush.
- Is like meditating -- Slowly smooching quells anxiety and leads to the Zen experience of being 100 percent present in the moment.
How You Sleep Reveals Personality Your favorite sleep position reveals your personality, say experts. Choose the position that mirrors your favorite nighttime pose and discover what it says about the real you:
- Faceup -- You approach life with self confidence, fearlessly speaking your mind while shouldering responsibilities at home and at work with aplomb.
- Sprawled on Side -- You're a happy go lucky person who attracts others with your sunny, adventurous spirit. You enjoy life and are seldom troubled by negative feelings.
- Fetal Position -- You're continually hungry for affirmation and love there's never enough hugs and kisses. Your romantic nature makes you a champion snuggler with your mate.
- Mover and Shaker -- You tumble around in several positions through the night because even at rest, you're full of energy. You're also impulsive and demand perfection from yourself.
- Facedown -- You're a dreamy sort who shies away from confrontation at all costs. But while you're reserved with others, you have an unwavering faith in your creative abilities.
- Aligned on Side -- You're a practical person who sleeps as precisely as you organize your desk. Your meticulous attention to detail makes you a reliable decision maker and problem solver.
