<\/p>\nKadiri, the Medical Director of Pinnacle Medical Services gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.<\/p>\n
According to her, sex is not just to nourish a woman\u2019s body, but it is also beneficial to her mental health.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs women, there is need for us to make our spouses our best friends if we want to be mentally healthy.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudies have shown that women who have more active sex and in long term relationships were less likely to be depressed than women who went without sex.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, more sex is important and essential. It is a remedy to curing women from having persistent headache.<\/p>\n
\u201cLow sexual drive, which leads to depression, should be looked into. A woman can be depressed when that sexual drive that she used to have is no more there.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrequent active sex can play good roles toward women\u2019s sense of well being and quality of life,\u2019\u2019 Kadiri said.<\/p>\n
She explained that sex was not just for procreation and to have children, adding that it could create bonding, good companionship and sound sleep.<\/p>\n
Kadiri, popularly called \u2018celebrity shrink\u2019, urged women dealing with depression to frequently indulge in sex, while boosting their self-esteem.<\/p>\n
She also advised women who are over-weight to also involve in active sex, saying doing so will boost endorphins which are happy hormones.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe happy hormones will make them lose some calories as well as sleep better.<\/p>\n
\u201dOrgasms trigger the release of endorphins which are happy hormones secreted by the brain that act as effective painkillers,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
She added that sex was not only beneficial to the men, but especially to women because it was capable of freeing them from stress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
