2. Kissing can prevent plaque and cavities, similar to the effect of toothpaste. Kissing stimulates the production of a large amount of saliva, which contains calcium and phosphorus, effectively preventing cavities. People who kiss frequently are less likely to develop gingivitis. Furthermore, the neutral pH of saliva during kissing also helps prevent dental diseases.
3. Kissing allows for the exchange of saliva between partners, which contains many different substances, including water, enzymes, bacteria, fats, natural salts, and proteins. According to a recent study, this exchange of substances can stimulate a person's immune system to produce antibodies.
4. Typically, 66% of people close their eyes when kissing, while the rest are happy to watch their partner's facial expressions change.
5. According to US statistics, American women kiss an average of 80 men before getting married.
6. A quick, romantic kiss might burn 2 to 3 calories, while a French kiss burns at least 5 calories because it involves opening the mouth and making tongue contact. Scientists have announced that we don't need to kiss excessively to lose weight. Just three 20-second kisses a day can help you lose weight.
