What did the therapist say about the positive effects of kissing on the body?

The hormone synthesized during kissing improves a person's mood and health. This was reported in detail by Galina Ptashenchuk, a general practitioner at the Consultative and Diagnostic Center of the Russian Scientific and Clinical Center No. 2 named after B.V. Petrovsky, in the "Doctor 24" program.

Benefits

Scientists conducted research and found that kissing has a positive effect on mental and physical health, said Galina Ptashenchuk. Oxytocin reduces the amount of cortisol produced in response to stress, the doctor added.

One study showed that people who kiss live 12 years longer and look younger than their peers. The fact is that during the process, muscles are worked, which improves blood circulation and reduces the number of wrinkles, Ptashenchuk explained.

Consequences

If you have a cold or flu, you should refrain from kissing so as not to infect your partner. However, the process itself does not cause an inflammatory reaction in the body, the specialist emphasized.

As for caries, it can indeed be transmitted to a person through repeated kissing. However, Ptashenchuk concluded that only those with weakened salivary protective functions are at risk. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
