THE SLEEP

SPOON

Spooning actually helps

you to sleep better

with your lover in bed.

Body-touching, such as

spooning, generates

oxytocin (the “cuddle

hormone”), suggests

body language expert

Patti Wood. It shows

that you want to stay

sexually connected, and

ultimately makes you

feel more comfortable.

Scientists in France also

say this hormone makes

men perceive their

partner as more

attractive than other,

unfamiliar women,

possibly making the men

less prone to infidelity.

(Good for you both!)

Stare at boobs to live a longer

life – we kid you not. Citing a

2012 study published by

Columbia University, which was

titled Positive Attitude can

Benefit Patients with Chronic

Disease, The Sun points out

that there is real scientific

proof of the link between

emotional and physical health.

About 55 percent who

practised a positive attitude

and self-affirmations (such as

looking at those lovely melons)

increased their physical activity

compared with 37 percent who

had no time for positivity. So,

go ahead. Just don’t overdo it.
