Just five minutes a man close to a beautiful and attractive women will increase the hormone cortisol aka stressors. If high cortisol levels will worsen the health condition of the man because of the threat of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and impotence.

The research was discovered by scientists from the University of Valencia. Elevated levels of cortisol will be higher if a beautiful woman who encountered unfamiliar or foreign.

If the man fails to make the approach, the risks facing the worst possible due to rapid increase in cortisol is a stroke and heart attack. British newspaper The Mail calls these effects almost equivalent to jumping from the plane.

The team from the University of Valencia, Spain, quoted from News.com.au, conducted a study of 84 male students for a fee of 10 pounds each (about 16 U.S. dollars).

Cortisol levels were measured just before students left alone with a beautiful woman they do not know. Measurements carried out again immediately after the meeting that only lasted five minutes expire.

Initially researchers asked each participant to sit in a room and solve Sudoku puzzles. The contents of the room were two foreigners, one male and one female partispan guy pretty well.

When two strangers left the room and two people remained seated together beautiful woman, the man’s stress level was still good. But when participants were left alone with a beautiful woman directly cortisol rate increased sharply.

For the study, deliberately selected young women with beautiful appearance, attractive and captivating. The measurement results showed that cortisol levels of students increased after five minutes alone with the angel.

According to the researchers, this suggests that interaction with the opposite sex can stimulate the release of cortisol. Presumably, the presence of a beautiful woman for most men has formed the perception that there are opportunities for a more intimate relationship.

So what happened when one of the students were successful dating a beautiful woman? The research team claims, the impact is actually much worse when the interaction continues for a long time.

“Ironically, this could actually lead to impotence. The trigger is the nature of chronic cortisol excess, as the impact of stress that is sustainable,” said the researchers.

Cortisol in small doses has a positive effect to improve alertness and beneficial in controlling blood sugar. But this hormone is always increased when she was frustrated so called ‘stress hormones’.

Dangerous is chronically elevated levels of cortisol which can exacerbate medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and impotence.

Indeed flu can strike anyone. But apparently men more vulnerable to the flu virus than women. This is because men do not have the hormones estrogen, which protects the body from infection.

Because it has no estrogen, the male is often referred to as the weak sex. The researchers found that women have immune systems are stronger than men because of sexual hormones.

Study results showed that female sex hormones that is estrogen can increase the body’s immune system is key in preventing attacks or other infectious bacteria.

Based on these findings it is possible to increase the use of estrogen-based drugs to help the body’s defense men. In this study focused on an enzyme called caspase-12.

This enzyme probably protects the body against infection by blocking the inflammation on the body to fight bacteria or other germs that unwanted.

Studies have shown that estrogen that is made by genetic engineering can provide immunity for the body. These results are reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“The study indicates that women have anti-inflammatory response that is stronger than men. When this study was conducted on rats, it is likely also apply to humans by making immunityboosting drugs,” said researcher Maya Saleh, as quoted from Dailymail.

Dr Saleh added that men are more susceptible to infection by bacteria, viruses, fungi or worms than women. It also found about 30 percent of men suffered from colds and flu, while only 22 percent of women only.

Previous research has revealed why some people can bear the pain while others have struggled to find the drug in order to feel better. This was probably also influenced by how many people have hormone estrogen is to provide maximum immune system.

Meanwhile, scientists from Stanford University in California concluded that the differences between them can also be located on these people’s minds about something. The pain can be inhibited or reduced by telling myself that it really does not exist.
