Different cultures greet one another differently. Some greet each other by sticking their tongue out and others just give a simple bow. However, one has to focus on a very special type of greeting used in many countries around the world. But it isn’t just a greeting, people do it to express their love and sometimes even respect for the receiver.
The Good Old Kiss
Kissing is a universal language that for some is a greeting, for others it is a sign of respect, when for example the hand or head of a respectable figure is kissed, and finally for others it is the start for an intimate affair.
However, many are unaware of the benefits that lie within this simple action. Hence we have gathered 6 main benefits of a kiss.
1. Reduce Your Blood Pressure
Kissing helps to dilate your blood vessels, which may help lower your blood pressure.
2. Relieve Cramps and Headaches
The blood-vessel-dilation effect described above also helps to relieve pain, particularly from headache or menstrual cramps.
3. Fight Cavities
When you kiss, saliva production increases in your mouth, and this helps to wash away plaque on your teeth that may lead to cavities. That said, cavity-causing bacteria can also be transmitted via a kiss, especially if the person you're kissing has poor oral habits. It's even been shown that cavity-causing bacteria can spread from a mother's kiss to her baby.3
4. Express Love
Kissing says a lot about how much you love the other person. It also help strengthen your relationship.
5. Burn Calories
Now it's not going to replace your workout session… but a nice kiss may burn 8-16 calories. Also it’s a pretty good workout for your facial muscles.
6. Boost Your Self-Esteem
One study found that men who received a passionate kiss before they left for work earned more money. This suggests the kiss (and perhaps the happy home-life it suggests) makes people happier, boosts self-esteem and, ultimately, more productive at work.
