1. Kissing is good
The act of kissing is actually healthy for you! Kissing improves our skin, helps with circulation and can even relieve headaches.
2. Kissing is exercise
While a quick kiss on the cheek uses just 2 muscles, a more heated kiss can move up to 34 muscles in your face – practically all of your facial muscles.
If you kiss for a full minute, you can burn about 26 calories. Kiss for an hour and you can skip going to the gym because you’ll have burned about 1,560 calories.
3. The Eskimo kiss does not exist
According to an Eskimo, the act of rubbing noses in place of a kiss does not exist. Hollywood has played a good role in making this myth seem real, but it is just a fabrication.
This Eskimo grew up in a very traditional family and lived 67 years and never saw Eskimos rubbing their noses. Your kisses are the same as ours.
