Sex improves brain function and memory: Scientists reveal what enhances this effec

Researchers have found that sex can improve brain function and memory, but for this effect to occur, intimate relationships in a couple must be regular - several times a week.

Data from over 6,000 adults aged 50 and older were analyzed over two years. Sexually active couples showed better memory test results in middle age than couples who did not have regular relationships.

Participants closely monitored their diet, sleep, and sex life, and then provided detailed accounts of how often they kissed, touched, and engaged in intimate closeness in any way.

Those with a more regular sex life were able to recall recent events better than those who neglected bedroom pleasures. While an active sex life did not prevent cognitive decline over time, couples with more sexual activity reported feeling much better.

It's important to engage in regular sex not only after the age of 50 but also earlier to keep the brain and memory in a constant tone.

Although aging will inevitably affect mental health, regular intimate relationships will not only bring pleasure but also improve overall health and provide a sense of happiness. Therefore, sex should not be avoided at any age.

Moreover, the decline in cognitive functions after 50 years is strongly influenced by other factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of physical exercise.
