Why Kissing is good for you
 Why is Kissing Good for You?
 It's Good for you because...
 ..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."

 ..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 u
 kiss - that's what u do when u relax. It's a perfect way to shut out
 the world."

  ....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 u can rely on 10 calories for
 every 10 minutes."

 ..it slows the ageing process. "Kissing helps to tone ur cheek and
 jaw muscles, so they're less likely to sag," says Cosmo's Fitness
 Consultant, Claire Potter.

 ..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."

 ..it is a good indication of what's to come. Kissing a new man
 gives you the perfect opportunity to check out his 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,

 ..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.
