At last, there is some good news! HereÂ’s something that feels good, is natural, contains no additives, has no calories and is good for your health: KISSING!

Kissing can help you lose weight, relax, express love, boost your immune system, improve self-esteem, manage stress and stimulate your brain. Have we captivated your interest? Is it too good to be true? Science says no!

First, kissing is a great stress reliever. Kissing quiets the mind and, in that sense, it is much like meditation in that is quells the chatter of the mind. If your mind still races while youÂ’re kissing someone, you are simply kissing the WRONG person. Kissing the right person makes your experience of a kiss relaxing, warm, passionate, tender, and it may be even torrid. Kissing demands staying in the moment and it ought to have your total attention!

Additionally, kissing induces many of the same brain wave and chemistry changes that meditation does. It takes us away from our mundane reality into another dimension. A really good kiss can be a transcendental experience. It induces a sense of peace and calm.Can there be any doubt that kissing improves oneÂ’s state of mind?

Kissing burns calories, too. Professor Bryant Stamford, PhD of the University of Louisville, postulates that a deep, passionate kiss may double your basic metabolic rate and burn as many as two calories a minute. Do the math. Kissing for 15 minutes burns approximately 30 calories. If one were to kiss passionately for 15 minutes that might lead to other calorie burning activities such as sex which may, of course, lead to more passionate kissing. More passionate kissing could lead to more torrid sex creating a passion loop. This could be a more exciting expenditure of energy than climbing stairs or taking a walk with the very same result: burning calories! ItÂ’s not exactly a cardiovascular workout, but it certainly has a delightful place in a healthy lifestyle!

French kissing? Think about those tongue muscles! Kissing can give them quite a workout. How about the muscles in your lips, cheeks, face and neck, etc? The possibilities are endless. Kissing will make you smile, too; and that definitely will make you look better, happier and healthier.

While kissing isnÂ’t a replacement for brushing your teeth it does provide extra saliva that washes bacteria off your teeth. And, speaking of bacteria, kissing boosts your immune system. By exchanging bacteria through a kiss you are stimulating your internal defense mechanism.

Kissing can be an exciting journey into sensuality. The lips have an enormous amount of nerve endings and, therefore, are very sensitive. Not even genitals have as much sensitivity as lips!

Many times kissing induces other types of touching. We are a touch-deprived nation and, therefore, hugs are extremely therapeutic as well. Kissing, hugging and touching increase feelings of security and wellbeing.When our wellbeing improves our self-esteem increases. We feel more secure and better about ourselves, and our outer persona reflects it. Others canÂ’t help but notice. Therefore, the possibilities of self-improvement through the beneficial effects of kissing and what follows are endless.

Perhaps, youÂ’ll make that sale because you exude a sense of kiss-related confidence. Possibly, youÂ’ll get that job because of your wonderful smooch-induced smile. It is possible you may owe increasing success to kissing! Who knew?

We all strive for a fresh mouth, but on ValentineÂ’s Day we want to be assured we can kiss with confidence.

A recent study at the California Breath Clinic found that bad breath is the #1 kissing turnoff. Harold Katz, an LA-based doctor of dentistry and founder of the clinic, says popping a mint may not be the answer.

"One major contributor to bad breath may come as a surprise," says the doctor. "Breath mints and chewing gum can actually create bad breath. Those products contain sugar which feeds the anaerobic bacteria that produce the volatile sulfur compounds found in all bad breath and that sour, bitter taste that accompanies it."

In addition to staying away from sugar-based candy and gum, Dr. Katz advises avoiding dairy and mouthwash that contains alcohol.
