WORKING OUT…….In Bed!
WORKING OUT…….In Bed!
By Barbara Meltzer
By Barbara Meltzer
“Why don’t you come up and see me sometime?”
It has been nearly 75 years since sultry actress Mae West uttered that classic phrase in her suggestive tone, leaving no doubt what she had in mind. American audiences snickered then. After all, the blonde bombshell was 40 years old.
Mae was way ahead of us. Despite the skepticism, and more likely disbelief, she knew that enjoyment of sex had no expiration date.
During the last two decades, we have learned that stereotypes about being “too old” for sex are not only passé, but downright silly. We now know that menopause is no longer the beginning of the end, but rather a sign that the next chapter is about to start.
According to experts, we can have a satisfying sex life for many if not all of the extended years we are now living. It can even be more fulfilling and pleasurable than the frantic passions of our youth.
“For some women there can be a resurgence of interest in sex,” says Dr. Stephanie Beuhler, a licensed psychologist, certified Sex Therapist and director of the Beuhler Institute. “With renewed zest for life and no worries about unwanted pregnancies, sexual desire often increases. I've heard women declare, ‘This is my time.’”
Putting quality time, awareness and energy toward a sex life in our 50+ years can do even more than reap emotional and erotic rewards. Experts agree that having sex also comes with an important bonus—good health and fitness! So if weights and treadmills get you down and yoga doesn't fit the bill, try three squares, eight glasses of water and sex! We all know some of the obvious benefits of sex, but here are some additional significant ones that you may not have thought about:
•Losing Weight Sex is exercise. It burns calories, a little over four of them a minute; the equivalent of four Hershey’s kisses in half an hour of love.
•Boosting the Immune System Having sex once or twice a week raises the body’s level of the immune-boosting antibody immunoglobulin A, or IgA, by a third, according to research at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, helping the body to fights colds, flu and other infections.
.
•Strengthening Klegels For women, using their Klegels (pelvic floor muscles) during sexual intercourse, not only provides more pleasure, it strengthens the muscles and has the added bonus of better bladder control.
•Improving Intimacy Having sex and orgasms increase levels of the hormone oxytocin—the so-called “love hormone”— helping us to bond and build trust. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of North Carolina evaluated 59 premenopausal women before and after warm contact with their husbands and partners, ending with hugs. They found that the more contact, the higher the oxytocin levels. Providing yet another benefit, the oxycotin produced during orgasm also promotes sleep.
•Lowering the Risk of Heart Attack According to a study published in the Journal of Pidemiology and Community Health, sex improves cardiovascular health. Researchers in England found that men who had sex twice or more a week are less at risk for a fatal heart attack compared to men who had sex less than once a month.
•Lowering Stress Levels Another study examined participants’ blood pressure as a measure of their stress responses during public speaking or challenging math problems— situations that often elicit stress. It was found that those who recently had intercourse tended to have either lower baseline blood pressures, less of a blood pressure rise during stressful events, or both. These findings suggest that having sex can lead to less of a stress response during challenging situations.
•Elevating Your Mood Researchers at Arizona State University asked 58 women to record their moods and levels of sexual activity and physical affection over 36 weeks. Those women who experienced both affection and sex reported being in a better mood the next day. Chalking it up to endorphins—neurotransmitters that are released during sexual activity— researchers believe that this is what causes the classic “afterglow” phenomenon.
•Looking More Beautiful In a study at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland, a panel of judges viewed participants through a one-way mirror and guessed their ages. Those who looked seven to 12 years younger than their age (labeled “super-young”) were also enjoying lots of sex—four times a week, on average. Okay, maybe they were having so much fun because they looked young, but it’s likely the sex was helping, say the researchers. One reason is that it raises a woman's estrogen level, helping to make hair shiny and skin supple. So, the potential health benefits of enjoying sex after 50 seem to be varied and proven. Let’s see, there’s weight loss, a boost to the immune system, better bladder control, improved intimacy, a lower level of stress, better moods, increased beauty and sounder sleep.

There are 21 Best Boomer Towns on our list, in this article we focus on the beauty, low cost of living, cosmopolitan environment and gorgeous weather in Tucson, AZ.
Tucson is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. It supports its own professional theatre company, dance company, opera, and symphony.
Downtown Tucson and its impressive glass and steel skyscrapers reflect images of the past. In response to tourist demand, galleries, high-end shopping boutiques, and cafes have given the city new life.
BusinessWeek.com looked at zip codes across the country, factoring in cost of living, home prices, and proximity to health, recreation, culture, arts, natural environment, and other amenities. After the data were evaluated, the message was clear: Tucson was number one in this prestigious report!
The honor is no surprise. There are so many reasons to make Tucson your home. The home prices are affordable. Superior arts, culture and entertainment, golf courses, wonderful shopping, and good restaurants. With more than 284 days of sunshine—in a desert panorama surrounded by mountain ranges—you'll want to consider a home in Tucson.
There are so many great neighborhoods in this town. But for me there's one that "sits above the rest" in more ways than one. It's the Catalina Foothills: It's among the most desirable communities in Tucson real estate.
With its higher elevation and proximity to the majestic Catalina Mountains, the Foothills is a quality community with unsurpassed mountain views, a panorama of twinkling city lights and superior amenities that earn it a special distinction. Before areas like Dove Mountain in Marana existed, Catalina Foothills was where gorgeous Southwestern homes were built within the magnificent natural desert. In this area there are variety of home styles and prices to meet your needs - no cookie cutter environment here! Instead, there are historic haciendas, sleek contemporaries, Mediterranean-style townhouses mixed with beautiful Santa Fe adobes. For the best in Tucson real estate in terms of investment and quality of life, the realtor's choice is often the Foothills.

Shopping your interest? La Encantada is a cosmopolitan shopping center, with local artisan shops side by side with sophisticated international shopping including Tiffany, Louis Vuitton and Brooks Brothers. Everywhere there are unique galleries and boutiques offering outstanding arts and culture opportunities. Some of Tucson's finest dining experiences are available here!
From Sabino Canyon, with its wonderful tram-ride, walking trails and water oasis, to hiking opportunities with the stunning vistas of Finger Rock and Pusch Ridge - Nature is at your doorstep in the Foothills. If outdoor recreation is your preference, select from a variety of gorgeous country clubs, spas and golf courses.
This week's recommended book on Best Boomer Towns is David E. Hagberg's new book called, The Holy Spirit Said See the Light. It offers courage and strength for those dealing with loss, pain and grieving. Excellent book for boomers who have dealt with the challenges of divorce, job loss or death.
