How to Lose Weight by Staying in Bed All Day: Stay Home and Play Nookie Instead of Playing Hooky

Its 8 am and you've pressed snooze six times already… the thought of your daily commute along with the watered down coffee and those awful florescent office lights is about as inspiring as the last time you waited in line at the DMV.

Your feeling fatigued, stressed, weak, fat… well lay right there, don't move!

Luckily for you, new medical research offers one magic solution to all your problems: Just do it. That's right do IT. You know, the hooochie, the bump & Grind, the nasty… So before you pick up your briefcase, pick up the phone: its time to call in sick.

That's right, it has been medically proven that the act of sex is beneficial to your emotional and physical health. The hormone, testosterone is released in large amounts during the activity which is essential for strong muscles and bones. You will also burn calories and your brain will release Oxytocin, which makes the emotions of nurturing and affection stronger. So, to summarize the benefits in a nutshell, you get stronger muscles, burn calories, and feelings of love and affection from engaging in sex on a regular basis. The stair master and thigh master combined couldn't show you this much love.

If you participate in sexual activity on a regular basis it is excellent for helping you to maintain your weight, it burns off calories, which also reduces fat stores. You can actually burn similar calorie totals as you would with weight training, canoeing, dancing, or walking. You will also experience an increased blood flow overall in your body which helps your health in all areas and since it also increases your heart rate it can have cardiac benefits as well. Good cholesterol is increased and bad is decreased. With all the major benefits a little nookie can bring, you could consider "nookie hooky" a preventative health day.

Another side benefit from having sex at bedtime is that it relieves stress and releases sleep inducing hormones that will help you to sleep better. If you are having trouble sleeping, maybe you just aren't getting enough!

Sex makes you live longer. Now there's a great excuse to give your boss: "uh… I won't be coming into work. I've decided to cut my death rate in half so I'll be at home doing the wild thing all day." But, it's true, according to studies stating that two orgasms per week could your increase your life expectancy by as much as 50% compared to people only having one a month. In addition, your immune system is boosted and the so-called mother hormone, DHEA is released which increases cognitive abilities, helps repair and maintain tissues, helps with bone growth, and help your skin to stay looking healthy and smooth. It kind of sounds like the fountain of youth, doesn't it?

So before you get out of bed remember:

• Just 30 minutes of sex burns more than 200 calories.
  
  
• Having sex five days a week is equivalent to two and a half hours in the gym!
  
  
• Sex is EXCELLENT for weight loss as the physiological changes in your body during sex are consistent with vigorous workouts in the gym.
