Many people stop connecting sex after heart attack in the belief that it might trigger another episode. But research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, recently, revealed that sex is good for survival rates.

Researchers followed 495 couples for about 20 years and found that those who maintained or increased their frequency of sexual activity in the first six months after a heart attack had a 35% lower risk of death than those who stopped having sex or reduced their frequency.

“Sexuality and sexual activity are markers of well-being,” study author Professor Yariv Gerber of Tel Aviv University in Israel was quoted as saying CNN, Friday (25/9).

“Resuming sexual activity immediately after a heart attack may be part of one’s self-perception as a healthy, functioning, young and energetic person. This can lead to a healthier lifestyle in general,” he continued.

While sudden physical activity, such as having sex, can trigger a heart attack, the long-term risk of heart problems is reduced with regular physical activity. Researchers say isolated episodes of sexual activity have been shown to trigger heart problems in some cases, people who exercise regularly are at lower risk.
