Helpful and horny = happy and healthy

A science lesson today, people.

But a fun one.

And not too many big words.

Just one.

Immunoglobulin.

Who knows how to spell that?

Can anyone tell me what it is?

I want to talk about Immunoglobulin A, to be specific.

This little protein helps fight disease in our bodies.

Everyone understand the diagram?

Good.

Did you know that altruistic acts increase the levels of immunoglobulin A in our bodies?

So helping someone does not only make you feel warm and fuzzy,

it also betters your health and improves your immune response.

People who are helpful and giving to others have less disease

and a less stressful life with a greater sense of well-being
compared to people of the same age who aren't as generous.

If that doesn't want to make you run out and do good deeds,

then it might perhaps interest you to know that sex once or twice a week can have the same effect.

So go forth, help people...or bonk them...or both.

It's up to you.

But you will be healthier for it.
