"...sex boosts immune system by stimulating the body’s first line of defence and production of immunoglobulin A...."
When asked about early morning sex, Prof. Musa Yabuku from Department of Biochemistry, University of Ilorin asserted that having sex early in the morning lowers blood pressure and reduces risks of heart attack. In his paper “Knocking Down the Barriers to Four O’clock Activities and Reproductive inadequacies” presented at the 163rd Inaugural lecture of the University.
He said that having sexual intercourse, three to four times a week, was good for love life.
Research has shown it that sex boosts immune system by stimulating the body’s first line of defence and production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), against cold and fever. Immunoglobulin A is one of the most common antibodies in the body system.
Sex, according to Yakubu, also regulates menstruation in women by influencing the levels of leutenizing hormones that control menstrual period as well as promote better sleep.
He said sex also releases the feel-good chemical, known as oxytocin, which enhances closeness with one’s partner and makes people feel happier for a longer period of time. According to one study, having sex in the morning can make you feel upbeat for the rest of the day. "Having sex in the morning releases also oxytocin, also known as the cuddle hormone," says sexpert Emily Morse. "Oxytocin makes you feel more connected with your partner and more loved. These warm feelings will stay with you throughout the day, or at least throughout the morning commute."
also said that traditional medicines had been authenticated to cure sexual dysfunctions.
