The whole world is literally going on a lockdown from Spain to France to Italy and likely Kenya in the next coming days. The ravaging Coronavirus is pushing nations to come up with stringent measures to curb the spread as it seems merciless.
Self Quarantine is one of the key measures being adapted by the health officials for one to clean their system and also protecting others from getting infected. Like in the case of Italy, the virus seem to be tearing down the old generation and this scientists attribute to their low immune system to fight the COVID-19.
Young people have higher chances of recovering from the virus as compared to the old people a reason why Italy which has a considerably higher old population is reporting the outrageous number of deaths.
While many people are now left to stay indoors with not so much to do, a UK doctor has an idea that will not only leave you relieved but healthy.
According to a Dr Jennifer Landam, a specialist in hormone therapy, she suggests that masturbation might be exactly what you need to strengthen your body’s natural defence forces.
Self-pleasuring is known to boost your immune system and raise your white blood cell count which in turn helps to fight infection in the body.
Now, this might not be the first time you’ve heard that time alone with your favourite toy will help with more than just relieving stress after a tough day at work- and that’s because it’s back by science.
Dr Landom’s views are also reflected in a small study conducted by the Department of Medical Psychology at the University Clinic of Essen in Germany which closely looked at the effects of orgasm through masturbation on white blood cell count.
It was confirmed that sexual arousal and orgasm increased the number of white blood cells and boosted the immune system – so thank you volunteers.
More than that, though, orgasms in general help you relax and sleep better, too – and more sleep means more time for your body to repair and recover.
