How do you feel when you have your first kiss? It’s time to talk about the benefits of kissing.

1. Relieve Stress & Anxiety 

Kissing can lower cortisol (stress hormone) and help to regulate your body’s fight response. Stress is a trigger for headaches. In other words, stress can also relieve headaches. Kissing releases serotonin that can regulate anxiety and stabilize your mood. 

2. Boost Your Immunity 

Kissing boosts immunity by introducing new germs to your body. A study proved that couples who kiss show similar microbiota in their saliva and on their tongues. 

3. Promote Blood Circulation And Keep You Happy

Kissing can make your heart pound and the blood vessels in your heart dilate. Dilation can increase blood flow while decreasing blood pressure. Moreover, kissing stimulates your body to release adrenaline and noradrenaline (chemicals that can put you on alert), as well as happy neurotransmitters (such as oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin). 

4. Makes Relationships Stronger

Kissing can improve pair-bonding by increasing the feelings of attachment and satisfaction with your lovers.

5. A Solution For Allergies

Kissing can help to soothe certain skin conditions. 

6. Improve Your Self-Esteem

Since kissing can help to release happy chemicals, it is undeniable that a good kiss can make you feel like the sexy beast you totally are.

7. Help To Workout Facial Muscles And Burn Calories  

Kissing can use around 2 to 34 facial muscles. You would use more muscles when you are more passionate. Your face will be firmed up when you are working these muscles regularly. Working out your facial muscles can burn some calories, around 5 to 26 calories per minute.

8. Activate Your Sex Drive

Kissing leads to the secretion of saliva. Saliva contains testosterone, a hormone that is important when it comes to sexual arousal. Researchers also found people with vaginas were more likely to orgasm when “deep kissing” was involved.

9. Keep Your Tooth And Cavities White

Kissing can secrete more saliva and saliva can keep food from sticking to your pearly whites tooth and cavities.

10. Lead You To Find Your Perfect Match

The *first* kiss is extra important because a study showed that we use kissing to judge just how compatible our potential mates might be. 

Your lips are full of sensitive nerves and kissing sends surging through your body. Have you kissed today?
