At My Own Filo, we believe in natural ways to improve well-being. A particular question we recently received from a satisfied customer, a widow in her 70s, made us think. She bought a Sun Flower and has since noticed a positive change in her life. She felt happier, slept better, and – to her surprise – her cholesterol was at a desirable level for the first time in years, without medication. Her treating doctor confirmed that there might be a link between orgasms and lowering cholesterol. But is that really the case? Let’s look at the science.
What does the science say?
Although there is still limited direct research on the impact of orgasms on cholesterol levels, there are several studies showing indirect connections.
Stress reduction and cholesterol
An orgasm helps reduce stress by increasing the production of endorphins and oxytocin. Since chronic stress is a known risk factor for elevated cholesterol, relaxation could play a positive role in lowering it.

Blood circulation and heart health
Sexual activity stimulates blood circulation and increases heart rate, similar to light physical activity. Regular physical activity, in turn, helps regulate cholesterol levels.

Hormones and metabolism
Orgasms promote the release of certain hormones that support metabolism. A well-functioning metabolism contributes to balanced fat burning, which can indirectly have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels.

Our customer’s experience
Our customer, who had been dealing with high cholesterol for years and didn’t want to take medication, noticed a remarkable improvement since using her Sun Flower. She reported feeling happier and more energetic, and her doctor confirmed that her cholesterol was at a healthy level for the first time.
A natural approach
At My Own Filo, we are the last to recommend stopping medication without proper guidance, but we are the first to encourage natural alternatives. Improving health can be done in many ways, and exploring natural methods is always a valuable option.
Your health, your choice
Although the evidence for a direct connection between orgasms and cholesterol reduction is still developing, both research and personal experiences point to interesting possibilities. Always consult with your treating doctor, stay vigilant about your health, and discover what works best for you. Who knows, maybe a little extra pleasure in life is just what you need!
