Today is Valentine’s Day and at Aruser@s we are especially romantic, but we want you to know that we are firm defenders of love not only today, but every day of the year, especially if there are kisses involved. According to a study, the kiss is a powerful medicine that relieves pain in the body and soul.
Alfonso Arús is very clear that the kiss is the best medicine for the spirit and to combat cavities and stress. “You have to kiss. Kiss in the morning, kiss in the afternoon, before and after taking a nap,” he says.
The study shows that kissing prevents cavities, protects the enamel, and balances the pH of the mouth. It also protects against infections, relieves pain, reduces stress, and can even help with bruxism. Kissing releases endorphins, which have an analgesic effect on the body, and it also reduces dryness of the mouth.
Unfortunately, data is lacking to determine if kissing with pets has the same beneficial effects, so for now, it’s best to stick to kissing other human beings.
So, this Valentine’s Day and every other day, don’t forget the power of a good kiss. It’s not just romantic, it’s good for your health.
