Seven Good Reasons Why Kissing Is Good For Your Health
For all those addicted to kisses, like me.

1) …it helps prevent tooth decay.
Dr Peter Gorden, Dental Advisor at the British Dental Association, explains. “After eating, your mouth is full of sugar solution and acidic saliva, which cause plaque build up. Kissing is nature’s own cleaning process,” he adds. “It stimulates saliva flow and brings plaque levels down to normal.”

2) …it relieves tension.
A passionate kiss is a great relaxation technique, says stress consultant, Michelle Kay Mcnabb. ” When your mouth is in a kissing position, you’re almost smiling and, as our emotions and body language are so closely linked, it’s almost impossible to smile and feel tense at the same time,” she explains. “Also, your breathing becomes deeper and your eyes close when you kiss - that’s what you do when you relax. It’s a perfect way to shut out the world.”

3) …it helps you lose weight.
“A long kiss makes the metabolism burn up sugar faster than usual,” says Claire Potter. “The calories burned depend on the intensity, but you can rely on 10 calories for every 10 minutes.”

4) …it slows the aging process.
“Kissing helps to tone your cheek and jaw muscles, so they’re less likely to sag,” says Cosmo’s Fitness Consultant, Claire Potter.

5) …it increases fitness levels.
Your heart is pumping, your pulse is racing…”If kissing is exciting, you release adrenaline into the bloodstream and your heart pumps more blood around your body,” says Dr. Susan Hotchkies. It’s a great cardiovascular workout.”

6) …it is a good indication of what’s to come.
Kissing a partner gives you the perfect opportunity to check out his/her pheromones - the chemical messengers that signal sexual attraction. “The first kiss is always a good way to work out if there’s any chemistry between you, “says Paul Brown, a sexual and marital therapist. “In humans, it’s thought that smells plays a vital part in subconscious attraction, and if your pheromones aren’t ‘in tune’, you’re unlikely to hit off in other areas.”

And finally,
7) …it boosts self - esteem!
There’s nothing better than a passionate kiss for a major dose of feel - good factor. “In theory, when u’re kissing, you’re happy. And when you’re happy, you feel good about yourself,” says psychotherapist Paul Zeal.

Kiss to stay forever young, fit, healthy and loved… *MWAH!*
Hope hope hope it really prevents tooth decay…

Decided to go to Bea’s birthday. *hehe*

Another episode of my Dentist-capades. Eep! I chipped off a considerable part of my tooth one or two years ago. Why? I bit a really really crunchy fried squid calamares a bit more forcefully than I thought. I ended up loosing a huge chunk of my tooth. *sigh* This morning, I felt that the filling my previous dentist made on it was cracking up. So I immediately texted my current dentist and scheduled an appointment (8:30pm). Because of that, I was not able to see the special on American Idol. *wah* I’m waiting anxiouly for the rerun later midnight. Go William Hung!!!

The Lit14 long test this morning was okey. I already prepared an essay about poetry (how you understand it, functions, definitions, basically synthesize the course) yesterday night. Just copied it today. I had a hard time copying since we were supposed to make an essay on the spot. *lol* Being prepared is always better than not - for me anyway.

Oh, I got random no. 576 for summer 2004 registration. I don’t know whether to weep or to rejoice. The total number of people is about 1070. Hmm…

Decisions, decisions… Where to go on Saturday evening, or do I go at all? Celadon Ball or Bea’s 18th Birthday?

Btw, Hunbun and I got accepted as “Finance Hot Manager(s).” *lol*
