Have SEX to ward off dementia – especially if you're an 'older man' scientists claim MAKING love may keep your brain tip top, reveal scientists. By Becky Fletcher 07:40, Tue, Feb 16, 2016 | UPDATED: 08:48, Tue, Feb 16, 2016
Getting frisky between the sheets could benefit your brain health, according to a Coventry University study.
Older men who enjoyed regular love-making showed signs of a healthier brain.
In particular, they were able to recall lists and recognise patterns.
The research team quizzed 6,800 people aged 50-89 from across England.
They were asked about their sex lives and set a number of mental tests.
Participants were played a list of ten words and asked to recount them after five minutes. They were also given a number sequence with one number out of place and asked to correct the pattern.
The men who were sexually active scored 23 per cent higher on the word tests and three per cent higher on the number puzzles.
But it wasn’t just the men who benefitted from a healthy sex life. Sexually active women also scored higher on the tests.
I'm going to see how I can apply this information!
