Benefits of kissing

Kissing strengthens the body's immunity. According to a study published in the Microbiome Journal in 2014, mouth-to-mouth kissing transfers the couple's saliva to each other. Saliva may contain small amounts of some new germs, on contact with which the immune system starts producing antibodies against it. The risk of getting sick from these germs can be reduced.
