People’s reactions to kissing, locking of the lips varies widely. Be it a peck on the cheek, the lip or just an unabashed French kiss, this expression of love does evoke a barrage of emotions.
Is kissing good or bad for your health? Let’s explore…
As per research, kissing is not the healthiest activity for your dental health. So, whether or not your partner has cavities in the teeth, you could very well get some!
In just 10 seconds of kissing, you could exchange up to 80 million bacteria!
Kissing does burn calories–even up to 12 calories per minute!
It’s not an unknown fact that kissing accelerates heart rate, causing the heart to pump more blood. When kissing, our pulse rate can go up to 110 beats per minute. As a result, our lungs work harder too, and end up inhaling 60 times per minute, compared to the regular 20 inhales per minute. Such activity for the lungs goes a long way in preventing lung disease.
One of the most prominent impacts of kissing on the body is relief from stress. Call it the rush of hormones or just the overwhelming feeling of love, but there’s no stress in the world a good kiss can’t relieve!
