My older sister wants to know if having sex with her husband can help reduce stress and also she wants to know what is the best way to lose weight

Older sister?: Having sex can either reduce or increase stress -- depending on the quality of relationship with partner, pregnancy risks, risks of std's, safety of situation, etc. Also weight loss is best accomplished by lifestyle change rather than temporary diet. Eliminate processed foods. Eat healthy, whole foods -- plenty of veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats; get consistent sleep & exercise.
