Your Christmas Present
by Miki Saxon
Yesterday I promised you a special Christmas present.
One that requires no batteries, is self-powered, recharges automatically and never gets old.
It’s a mindful gift and one that is good for your health.
It might even help you stick to that new workout routine you planned to start in January.
It’s sex.
And no more relying on anecdotal evidence regarding its benefits.
Clinical studies have proven that sex provides healthy exercise.
…sex qualified as “moderate exercise,” a 6-MET activity for men and 5.6-MET activity for women. That’s the equivalent, according to various estimates, of playing doubles tennis or walking uphill.
Best of all, it’s a gift that keeps on giving all year round.
