A smooch may be just what the doctor ordered. In honor of International Kissing Day, Renewing Serum CE produced this infographic detailing eight health benefits of kissing. The benefits listed include reducing blood pressure; zapping cramps and headaches by dilating blood vessels; fighting cavities; upping your dose of happy hormones (endorphins); burning a few calories (maybe not equal to 30 minutes of cardio, but about 6 to 16 calories per smooch); boosting self-esteem; giving you a little help firming skin in the neck and jawline areas; and offering a barometer for sexual compatibility. The infographic also refers to a few studies and scientific findings to back up each claim.
