There are different types of kisses, but each of them provokes different emotions.
Kisses transfer the person to a state associated with happiness, pleasure and well-being. That is why it is interesting to highlight the physical and mental benefits of this practice.
The 7 health benefits of kissing, according to science
As published by the Higher Institute of Health Sciences FoundationAfter several investigations, it was shown that kisses are therapeutic.
Reduces stress. During the kiss, dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin are released, which causes the levels of cortisol, the main stress hormone, to be reduced. It increases sexual desire. Kissing stimulates the release of endorphins, natural opiates in the body that cause a pleasant sensation. It lowers blood pressure. When kissing, the heartbeat increases and the blood vessels dilate and the blood reaches the vital organs effectively. Strengthens the immune system. Salivary exchange helps strengthen the immune system by generating antibodies. Burns calories. An intense kiss can burn up to 12 calories per minute. More well-being. Deep and romantic kisses intensify the effect because the body produces a greater amount of oxytocin, a hormone that generates feelings of love and well-being. It rejuvenates. During the practice, up to 30 muscles of the neck and face are used, which generates better health in the skin of the face and reduces the formation of wrinkles.
How to know if it is love
But how do I know if I’m kissing Prince Charming or if I’m looking at a “frog”?
There are scientific studies that point to something more than intuition to know if we have the correct mouth before our lips. The “chemistry” exists: neuroscientist Wendy Hill, a researcher at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, assures that in the saliva at that moment we can find substances that will be of great help to evaluate whether the partner we are kissing is the ideal one.
According to Hill, if we find ourselves facing our “fairytale prince” the levels of cortisol and the stress hormone are reduced.
For her part, Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami, explained that face-to-face contact is calming. The more physical contact there is, the more calm you feel.
