Kissing can be just as affective as walking

Believe it or not but kiss­ing can be just as affec­tive as walk­ing. Although it doesnt seem to be much it can burn quite a lot of calo­ries with min­i­mum work required. Appar­ently and im not sure how true this is by the way, kiss­ing burns between four and seven calo­ries per minute. Although your prob­a­bly not going to kiss day in day out for an hour ses­sion just to lose some weight, over the period of a year it adds up and actu­ally becomes quite a lot of calo­ries. For exam­ple, if you kiss for one minute a day at say 5 calo­ries lost and then you mul­ti­ply that by 365 that becomes one thou­sand eight hun­dred and twenty five which is almost a days calo­rie intake just from kiss­ing each day.

Some­thing else thats inter­est­ing is if you walk on a tread­mill for twenty min­utes on the walk­ing pace set­ting you will burn roughly 100 calo­ries in twenty min­utes. If you can burn 5 calo­ries per minute of kiss­ing that works out to also be a good one hun­dred calo­ries per twenty min­utes of kiss­ing. So there you have it, kiss­ing can be as effec­tive as walk­ing and depend­ing on if your in a rela­tion­ship it can be eas­ier and more affective.

Since kiss­ing also releases endor­phins into your body which makes you not only hap­pier but more stress free you can gain both of the ben­e­fits of kiss­ing in one go. You can get a super sized por­tion of endor­phins after a twenty minute ses­sion and you can also burn a good one hun­dred calo­ries mean­ing once your done you can go and relax with a cof­fee with added sugar or a tin of soft­drink of your choice. Another option if your the roman­tic type is to enjoy some choco­late with your part­ner giv­ing you yet another ben­e­fit as choco­late con­tains antioxidants.

So next time your part­ner sug­gests you go for a walk, let them in on our secret.
