Sex can improve your chance of losing weight
Sex produces the same feel-good hormones, such as endorphin and oxytocin, as food does. When you are having sex, your brain feels satisfied and it stops sending signals for you to eat. According to Harvard Medical School, sex ranges from mild to moderate in terms of exercise intensity. Additionally, according to a study published in The American Journal of Cardiology, sex can burn between 85 to 250 calories. Dhammza/Flickr
