Ok, someone had that posted on something on Facebook.... And I thought really????
So, then I decided to do a little more research....
Here is some information I found out about the subject of KISSING and Health Benefits:
One article stated for Singles to beware, because not only does marriage reportedly reduce the risk of heart attacks, as Finnish scientists noted, but kissing is also great for your health. A simple embrace increases levels of the "love hormone" called oxytocin.
Another article even mentioned that Kissing could help you lose weight!!
Here is more information I found online in an article by Silvia Mordini:
... there are actual Kiss Scientists who study kissing. They are called Philematologists and they have discovered a wide range of benefits of kissing such as:
1. Kissing lowers STRESS.
Kissing decreases the stress hormone cortisol and increases serotonin levels in the brain. Kissing has also been measured to lower anxiety and has similar benefits to meditation.
2. Kissing makes us HAPPIER.
Kissing improves our mood by increasing endorphins, which are our feel-good hormones.
3. Kissing keeps us HEALTHY.
Kissing improves our immunity by releasing antibodies that kill bacteria. And kissing helps us prevent cavities by increasing saliva that washes our teeth. It has been shown that our saliva secretes natural antibiotics when we kiss.
4. Kissing CALMS us down.
Kissing increases levels of oxytocin otherwise known as the "love hormone" which calms us. Kissing also reduces pain through our saliva which contains a kind of anesthetic and increases pleasure by releasing dopamine.
5. Kissing STRENGTHENS our RELATIONSHIPS.
Kissing promotes togetherness and couples who kiss regularly live five years longer than those who don't.
Top 10 Reasons To Kiss List:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Decreases cortisol stress hormone
- Increases serotonin
- Reduces pain
- Increases oxytocin
- Improves immunity
- Fights off cavities

There are plenty more benefits to kissing...but I am guessing that you already have your favorite reasons. What’s my favorite kissing moment, you ask? When you can feel your partner smiling as you kiss each other. Kissing makes us smile more!
Love yourself, love your day, love your life!

She had this painting called The Kiss (Der Kuss) by Gustav Klimt 1907-1908 mentioned:
One from healthmeup:
1. Start kissing everyday and spark your love with and get cleaner teeth
2. If you want to lose some calories without much hard work, then go on a kissing diet
3. Start kissing to maintain the health of your heart
4. Instead of popping antidepressant pills, start kissing to be happy
5. A kissing session will increase the blood circulation of your face and give you a younger looking complexion. Since a passionate kiss involves moment of 34 facial muscles and up to 112 postural muscles in the rest of the body, which helps to keep your muscles tight and toned.
And lastly, since I am finding pretty much the same thing everywhere, is from Women's Day:
5 Surprising Benefits of Kissing:
1. Kissing boosts immunity.
2. Kissing helps you pick the best mate.
3. Kissing burns calories!
4. Kissing keeps facial muscles strong.

Heck what I found out is that God needs to hurry up and bring that Boaz into my life.... I got years worth of Kissing to catch up on.... Wow, you mean KISSING could have helped my stress all these years, not to mention, anxiety that I allowed to be in my life. Why has God made me wait this long or at least why haven't I been kissing more often?!
Watch out whoever my Boaz is, WE WILL BE DOING A LOT OF KISSING!!!!
