Age Is Just A Number

Feel the Love

Anyone who's ever fallen head over heels or discovered an activity that makes them eager to jump out of bed in the morning knows that passion is a powerful drug. "It's the central motivation of all human activity," wrote Gail Sheehy in her book, ......and the Seasoned Woman. The ability to embrace life boosts self-esteem, fuels the immune system, and improves cardiovascular health. Passion in bed can be particularly beneficial: Getting it on triggers the release of oxytocin (AKA the "love hormone"), and has been shown to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
