The world's most admired nations - France


France is the second most admired country according to the survey. France is the largest country in the European Union. It is the fifth largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth largest economy by purchasing power parity. It is the most visited country in the world, with 82 million foreign tourists visiting the country annually.

Population: 65,073,482

Dr Eric Braverman, an anti-ageing expert from the US, has written a new book 'Younger (Sexier) You,' in which he says that sex not only raises your hormone levels (so keeping you young), but can also boost your metabolism, brain function, heart health and immunity.

Braverman also points to a study by Queen's University in Belfast that suggested having sex three or more times a week reduced the risk of heart attack or stroke in men by half. Orgasms are thought to fight infection - increasing the number of infection-fighting cells by up to 20 per cent.
