The benefits of kissing

Ok, not to take all the gooey, mushy, romantic stuff out of why we love locking lips soooo much but did you know that there are real health benefits of doing it, too?

Yep, this little pleasure does wonders for our bodies, both inside and out. These are just some of the reasons why you should plant one on the closest boy, like, now (just make sure you have kissable lips first)...
It burns calories
Well, kind of. You can’t replace your workout session with a mack-fest and expect to reap the same benefits (trust me, I’ve tried), but you can burn 8-16 calories in a minute. Wanna make out?
It reduces blood pressure and stress
Planting a smooch on someone is not just good for your emotional heart - it gives your anatomical one a workout, too. Kissing revs our heartbeat in a way that helps to lower blood pressure. On top of that, it also works hard to decrease cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase levels of serotonin (the happy hormone) in the brain. Not too shabby for a kiss, eh?
It relieves cramps and headaches
Remember when you were little, and your mum would kiss your ‘boo boo’ to make it better? Well, this might actually have some merit. You might not feel like a pash session while you’re dealing with painful menstrual cramps, but a little TLC actually goes a long way when it comes to pain relief. Kissing causes blood vessels to open wide and dilate, soothing pain or tension in the body.
It helps you bond
Whether you’re a PDA fan or not, locking lips promises to boost relationships. When we kiss, the brain releases oxytocin, popularly known as ‘the love hormone’, which is directly linked to feelings of intimacy. It’s the same hormone released when we give birth, orgasm and breastfeed. God damn, science is sexy.
It makes you happier
Even the quickest peck can trigger the release of endorphins - so pucker up, gorgeous. Research shows that kissing taps into the brain’s limbic system, unleashing fuzzy feel-good chemicals such as phenylethylamine (PEA). A natural amphetamine, it makes you feel euphoric - and ahh FYI, you can also get your hit from chocolate.
It keeps you looking young
Kissing stimulates more than 30 facial muscles, helping to smooth out lines and wrinkles, tone cheek and jaw muscles, and boost circulation to the face, leaving you with a bright, youthful glow. Come here, boy.
It combats stress
Is work getting you down? Book an appointment with your significant other for a make-out session and feel the benefits. Kissing makes you breathe more deeply, allowing your body to relax - much like meditation.
It’s good for your health
Believe it or not, sharing all that saliva is a good thing. Smooching improves immunity by releasing antibodies through a process called cross-immunotherapy. Come over here and give me a big wet one
It keeps your pearly whites, pearly white
Teeth looking pretty schmick? It’s probably all that kissing you’ve been doing. Though brushing your teeth on the reg is your best bet when it comes to maintaining pearly whites, puckering up does help to break down oral plaque and prevent cavities. The minerals in saliva help to rebuild tooth enamel, thereby preventing tooth decay. Forget apples - a kiss a day keeps the dentist away!
Did you know about these health benefits of kissing?

Black Magic and Revenge Spells: Many will say that revenge spell have a certain negative ring to it. But revenge, here acts as a significant representation of anything that is unfair, unjust or just wrong. Providing revenge of course is not the only motto of these spells. For instance, if somebody wants to get back at a person for something that the person did, then revenge spell is the perfect way. But in addition to that these spells make sure that the person seeking help is able to find the peace in Where life. Extracting negative forces is also a major priority of these black spells. By using these spells you can give someone a taste of their own medicine and also you get to purge your life of all the evil forces that surround you or make your life cumbersome. Providing emotional satisfaction is one of the major goals of these spells. But at the same time it has to be kept in mind that these spells are extremely powerful. Any impulsive declaration or decision may lead to disastrous effects. These spells are more or less permanent. Also as they are dealing with other people's lives, it has to be kept in mind that the counter active solutions are fewer in number. One must pay attention to one's own priority while seeking the help of a sorcerer in using the revenge spells. Getting revenge and messing with people's lives are two entirely different things. One need to get their agenda specific and their mind clear as to what do they exactly want. This is the aspect of black magic that is the most risky when it comes to dealing with personal issues. One significant change or occurrence can lead to other simultaneous incidents. Thus one need to be extra careful when it comes to casting spells on people to get revenge. An exaggerated mind set or prejudice can lead to undesirable results. It is thus strongly advisable that one acquires a clear vision of what he/she actually wants in the situation and be focused as to not cause unnecessary complications. One of the strongest of the black magic spells; revenge spells also known as curses do not only bring peace in one's mind but brings about an order in the cycle of things that is of course if used properly. If not cast properly, these can lead to traumatic situations and unwanted mess. As these are the strongest, their effects are accordingly permanent; but that is no reason to be frightened in applying these. Only certain precautions and rules can make revenge spells to be absolutely successful. Once the right ways are exercised there is no reason why one should be worried about the results ...Death Spell Curses as opposed to Disruption Spell.EMAIL dragazima7demons@yahoo.com or dragazima7demons@gmail.com.call or whatsap +2348147313222

These are ridiculous really, Kissing is just kissing but do we really know the health issues when plucking our lips with someone else's? Other people could have germs, Diseases, Bacteria, Ulcers you name it all of that, When you think about like that it's safer not to kiss other people lol.....
