Studies says you can burn anywhere from 2 to 26 calories per minute depending on how passionately you kiss. This is because you are exercising your facial muscles during kissing.

When you smooch your partner, you are also working out your facial muscles. Researchers say kissing engages 30 muscles on your face which helps keep your cheeks tight.

Kissing naturally relaxes you

Several studies also say kissing increases the levels of oxytocin, the body’s natural calming chemical, and endorphins, the body’s feel-good chemicals.
