Since the dawn of time, people have known intuitively that close relationships and emotional health have a major impact on your personal health. Everyone has heard anecdotes about loving couples who live until they’re 90 years old, only to die within two weeks of one another.<\/p>\n

And all of these anecdotes have led us to believe that feeling loved or desired makes one healthier, that it even increases one’s longevity. There just hasn’t been any scientific proof for this intuitive feeling that all of us have. That is, until now! <\/p>\n

A recent report in the Daily Mail notes that a group of Italian researchers at the University of Florence has found that men who feel that their partners are sexually attracted to them have a greatly reduced risk of having a heart attack. The study followed more than 1,500 men for eight years to see how a variety of factors, including obesity<\/a> and smoking<\/a>, would affect their health.\"If<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, when it comes to determining factors for having a heart attack, not having a partner who finds you sexually attractive is just as important as obesity and smoking. Specifically, men who don’t have a partner who is sexually attracted to them are 2.6 times more likely to have a heart attack than men who feel that their partner is strongly attracted to them.<\/p>\n

This draws into question the conventional wisdom that insists that emotional health and physical health are separate. In this case at least, feeling emotionally wanted can be a major health benefit for men.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe  Italian study also noted that men who feel sexually desired also have a decreased risk of stroke and heart problems. The decrease in risk was comparable to that between smokers and non-smokers, or people who are obese and those who aren’t.<\/p>\n

The study makes a strong case for the fact that men can improve their health by making sure they do everything they can to maintain the sexual attraction that their partners have for them. It certainly seems that feeling loved in a sexual or seductive way is more important for a men’s health<\/a> than was previously thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
