Not Just a Kiss

The lyrics from the old song are wrong--a kiss is definitely more than just a kiss.

Here are a few facts about smooching:

1. A one minute kiss burns 26 calories. (feel the burn, the burn, the burn)

2. Our brains have special neurons that help us find our mate's mouth in the dark. :)

3. A passionate kiss quickens your heart rate to 100 beats per minute.

4. Kissing reduces tooth decay because the extra saliva generated by a lip-lock cleans your teeth.

5. Nine out of ten couples in happy relationships kiss before bed.

Sounds yummy to me.
