What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve:
The sure sweet cement, glue and lime of love.
~ Robert Herrick
Today is... Kissing Day! Started in Great Britain but now celebrated worldwide, Kissing Day reminds us of the importance of kissing.
Kissing is really good for you - and your relationship. So today - and everyday, of course - remember to kiss, kiss, kiss!
+ Kissing increases oxytocin, the bonding hormone. Oxtyocin counters the negative effects of stress, resulting in improved health, less depression and addiction, and greater harmony.
+ You burn 26 calories in a one minute kiss.
+ Kissing helps reduce tooth decay because the extra saliva helps clean out your mouth.
+ You use only two muscles on your face when you give a peck kiss but you use all of your facial muscles and burn more calories during a passionate kiss.
+ Special neurons in our brains help us find each others lips in the dark.
