New photo OAPs should be having more sex as it can boost their health and save the NHS cash, experts claim

GPs should encourage pensioners to have more sex for the sake of their health, researchers say.

They need to quiz older people on their sex lives, suggest new positions and offer drugs for impotence.

But too few doctors tackle the issue even though getting jiggy more often makes people happier and healthier and will save the NHS cash, the researchers claim.

Dr Lee Smith, from Anglia Ruskin University, said: “Health professionals should acknowledge that older adults are not asexual and that a frequent and problem-free sex life in this population is related to better wellbeing.

“However, encouragement to try new positions and explore different types of sexual activities is not regularly given.” The call follows research into the sex lives of nearly 7,000 people with an average age of 65.

Those who got frisky in the past year scored higher in an enjoyment of life survey.

Men who had the most sex reported the highest life satisfaction but women preferred more kissing, petting and fondling.

Researcher Dr Sarah Jackson, of University College London, said: “If encouraging people to enjoy a healthy sex life in old age could help to boost well-being, there may be benefits for the individual and for the sustainability of health services.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
