• According to the research, adults who make love first thing in the morning apparently not only feel more upbeat for the rest of the day, but also benefit from a stronger immune system.
• The study suggests that adults who begin their day this way are healthier and happier than those who simply opt for a cup of tea and some toast before heading out of the door.a
• Not only does it make them less likely to catch a cold or flu, it can also improve the quality of their hair, skin, and nails.
• Having sex in the morning releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving and bonded all day long -  the Daily Mail quoted Dr Debby Herbenick, an American research scientist and sex advice columnist, as saying.
• Dr Herbenick, author of the book Because It Feels Good, added: "It makes you stronger and more beautiful too: Morning sex can strengthen your immune system for the day by enhancing your levels of IgA, an antibody that protects against infection.
• And it releases chemicals that boost levels of oestrogen, which improves the tone and texture of your skin and hair.
• Other studies suggest that the benefits do not end there. A study at Queens University in Belfast found that having sex three times a week could halve the risk of heart attack or stroke.
