On the other hand, too much sex can also be harmful; if you indulge in  sex for more than 3 times a week, you are exposing yourself to the risk of a weaker immune system as well as vulnerability to infections…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The balance of your mental and emotional health is definitely influenced by sex&lt;/b&gt;.  While abstinence often leads to anxiety or paranoia and even  depression…having sex can cure cases of light depressions. After having  exercised sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress and  induce a wonderful state of euphoria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;For all you women, having regular sex means freedom from expensive salon treatments&lt;/b&gt;.  An excellent beauty treatment, having sex actually doubles the level of  estrogen in women and makes their hair shine with brilliance while  making their skin supple and softer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zarwt-P_P3U/TgPzyGH8eiI/AAAAAAAAAC0/cLJWluNEM14/s1600/black.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zarwt-P_P3U/TgPzyGH8eiI/AAAAAAAAAC0/cLJWluNEM14/s200/black.jpg" width="132" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sex is an excellent deep-cleansing treatment as well&lt;/b&gt;.  Since sex is a strenuous but enjoyable exercise, when you have sex the  pores of your skin are cleansed leaving a brighter and glowing skin as  well as decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OzXxlVy85dA/TgPyjgiOQiI/AAAAAAAAACs/UWfGdYg35sY/s1600/couple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OzXxlVy85dA/TgPyjgiOQiI/AAAAAAAAACs/UWfGdYg35sY/s1600/couple.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sex can sharpen your senses; especially enhance your sense of smell. &lt;/b&gt;After  sex, prolactin is released that activates the stem cells in the brain  to form new neurons in the olfactory bulb. This helps to improve your  sense of smell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The more active your sex life, the more attractive and irresistible you become for the opposite sex&lt;/b&gt;.  Really! An active sex life means that your body gets into the habit of  releasing more pheromones, chemicals that attract all those gorgeous,  luscious women!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A pain reliever, sex is TEN times more effective than painkillers such as Valium.&lt;/b&gt;  Just before orgasm, the hormone oxytocin’s level rises almost 5 times,  leading to release of large amount of endorphins. Endorphins are natural  painkillers and relieve you of pain, minor headaches, and migraines  without any after effects. Next time your lady has a headache, treat her  with a vigorous session of lovemaking rather than a Valium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M_RKZnV3-E4/TgPxgUyhdfI/AAAAAAAAACo/B5ISNreyHiA/s1600/kiss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M_RKZnV3-E4/TgPxgUyhdfI/AAAAAAAAACo/B5ISNreyHiA/s1600/kiss.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The act of Kissing stimulates salivation, which helps clean food  particles stuck between the teeth and lowers the acidity level in your  mouth.&lt;/b&gt; This is the primary cause of tooth decay. So kiss all you want, after all it’s a great excuse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Don't be afraid to tell your partner what you like in bed. Don't fake organisms because they will never know. After sex talk about how good you both was, makes you want to be better next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your challenge: can you think of any more way sex is good for your health?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Live, Love, and Laugh.

Being able to  tweak more energy from our minds and our bodies is a worthwhile pursuit.   If you can change your energy levels by a few per cent you will  achieve a hell of a lot in life and feel better for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mind is linked to the physical, so tweaking our mind energy as well as our physical energy levels will give you a double boost.  So without further ado here are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;"&gt;"Ways to Boost Your Energy Levels"&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Drink Plenty Water&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/s/sz/szorstki/1109227_water.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" class="alignleft" height="151" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/s/sz/szorstki/1109227_water.jpg" width="121" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Water really is the elixir of life and we need to drink plenty of water to keep the cells in our body regulated. Water is essential for the body’s growth and maintenance,  as it’s involved in a number of processes. For example, it helps get  rid of waste and regulates temperature, and it provides a medium for  biological reactions to occur in the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meet Up With Your Friends&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Sometimes your busy work schedule completely wears you out. You  usually get into the habit of attending to your daily chores and take  out no time for yourself. This could lead to a feeling of isolation  which in turn makes you depressed and reduces your energy levels.   Meeting up with friends on a regular basis is a good idea to boost your  energy levels and to stimulate your brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Communicate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Bottled up emotions could act as energy drainers. If something is  bothering you, a relationship problem or work problems; it’s very  important that you communicate with someone you trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Consume Enough Iron&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Deficiency of iron is one of the major reasons for lack of  concentration. Do you find your mind wavering off at many occasions? Or  do you tend to get lethargic very easily? You could be suffering from  Anemia, i.e. deficiency of iron in your body. Iron leads to the  production of hemoglobin in your body, these blood cells are responsible  transportation of oxygen in your body. Lack of hemoglobin leads to low  oxygen levels, which makes you tired, lazy and very low on energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stretch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/m/ma/mattox/1080072_girl_in_white_holding_her_hands_up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" class="alignright" height="170" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/m/ma/mattox/1080072_girl_in_white_holding_her_hands_up.jpg" width="114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A simple stretch can boost your energy in no time! Stand up and go on your toes, with your hands stretched upwards. Try to reach as high as you can with your fingertips stretched towards the ceiling. Keep this posture for a few seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Avoid Negative Environments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Try your  best to avoid any kind of negativity in your life. You can  start by avoiding people who have a negative attitude or avoid negative  conversations or thoughts. Keep yourself pre occupied with other things  instead. It is a known fact that you tend to get affected by the people  you spend time with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Treat Yourself To A Massage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Pampering yourself can be one of the best ways to feel revitalized  and fresh. So the weekend’s coming up and your full body’s aching  because of sitting in that one chair all the time. It’s time to treat  yourself to a massage, either professionally or by your partner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Laugh&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;Every time you laugh or giggle your brain releases a substance called  Endorphins. Endorphins are substances that make you feel good, awake  and energetic. Laughing has many other advantages as well! The endorphin  produced improves your immune system, reduces the risk of chronic  depression and also helps in preventing heart diseases.  A good comedy  or a night out with friends will boost your energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Healthy Breakfast&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/t/th/theswedish/1231823_breakfast_in_the_sun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" class="alignleft" height="166" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/t/th/theswedish/1231823_breakfast_in_the_sun.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As  the name breakfast suggests, it means to break your fast after a long  duration. So it is important to begin your day with the right kind of  meal, for it has a direct impact on your energy levels throughout the  day. Having a good breakfast keeps you energized for the mornings and  helps you avoid the carbohydrates and the fats in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;There  are many ways to gain more energy, they are kind of like a pick  ‘n’  mix: try different ways until you find the ones you like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your challenge: can you think of any more way to increase your energy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Live, Love, and Laugh.
