1. Can making out help you lose weight as well?
Admit it– a tongue-tangling kiss is the marker of a perfect date and leaves you wanting for more.
While there is no denying that a long, passionate kiss can help in bringing down the stress levels significantly, there is another hidden (and shocking) benefit of making out.
2. The study
According to a study conducted by Australian researchers, there is actually quite a lot of health benefits of this sensuous act.
From relieving stress, regulating your heartbeat to making you look younger, kissing can do a lot more than just getting things going on, in the bed. However, the most surprising benefit among all is that kissing helps you burn calories as well. No, we are not kidding.
3. Kissing for weight loss
According to Jaiya Kinzbach, a Los Angeles-based sexologist an intense round of kissing can burn 2-6 calories per minute. In fact, the more passionate and long the kiss is, the more calories you will burn. While it may not be as much as hitting the gym or going for a jog, it is definitely a lot more exciting. Here are certain tips you can follow to make the most of making out for weight loss:
4. Try different postures
Instead of sitting on the bed and making out, you can kiss while standing or moving to burn more calories. Involve a lot of petting as well.
5. Increase the count
What better way to burn those dreaded calories by kissing several times a day? Since an intense, knee-jerking kiss requires more than 30 facial muscles, try kissing atleast 3 to 4 times a day to lose more calories.
6. Bring on the passion
If you are deeply, passionately involved in a heated act of kissing, where you start moving around the place and push each other for dominance, your caloric expenditure may go further up.
7. The bottom line
While we are not asking you to solely rely on smooshing of your lips to lose weight, it can surely act as a fun motivator for you to burn those extra calories. Think of it as the sweet reward of all the hardcore workout and dieting.
Remember: You cannot replace jogging or working out with kissing, solely because it gets your heart racing. Kissing is NOT a substitute for a regular workout.
