"People need to be active. A weekend football game must not be the only physical activity for a Brazilian. Adults need to do exercise: walk, dance and have safe sex," said Jose Gomes Temporao.
The minister gave the advice as he launched a campaign to prevent high blood pressure, which afflicts a quarter of Brazil's 190-million strong population.
After making his unusual comments, Mr Temporao defended his promotion of sexual intercourse to journalists, according to the G1 news website.
"It's not a joke. It's serious. Having regular physical exercises also means sex, always with protection of course," he said.
"Dancing, having sex, keeping weight under control, changing dietary habits, doing physical exercise" all help keep blood pressure down, he said.
He added that he believed there was a health "time bomb" ticking in Brazil, which within 20 years could see a "gigantic percentage" of the population suffering chronic illnesses, high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.
Now we can all see how intense news is getting nowadays with articles such as these published. Brazilians seem to have the right idea especially the minister who knows
he will appeal to the crowd and get the support he needs because hes using the greatest marketing tool ever.
Sex sells and everyone knows it from the reality TV shows that we all cannot stop watching to the PITA commercials that have women posing in lingerie.
The truth is that no matter how much we as a society try and clean up TV and magazines it will never happen because everyone loves controversy and sex...BoomTheTruth
