Poor nutrition - High fat meals suppress
testosterone, depress libido, and make erection and ejaculation
more difficult. See my sexuality boosting diet at http://healthyhealing.com/SEX-Men-LibidoDiet.html
Environmental estrogens - Environmental
estrogens enter the body through pesticides and hormonally
enhanced meat and dairy foods. Eat organic meats, produce
and dairy products as much as possible to reduce the load
of environmental estrogens on your system.
Smoking - Smoking interferes with your
body's use of zinc. Smoking just two cigarettes a day also
constricts blood vessels, impairing circulation and the
ability to achieve erection. Chewing tobacco is just as
bad. If you are still smoking, isn't that enough to make
you want to quit?
Too much alcohol - Alcohol consumption
(in excess of two beers a day, two glasses of wine, or one
mixed drink) can significantly increase prolactin, which
leads to prostate and breast enlargement in men.
Drink wine in moderation. For most men, that means 2 to
3 glasses at mealtime, 2 to 3 times a week.
Obesity - Did you know that fat in a man's
pubic region actually decreases the available length of
his penis? That's right! Most of the penis lies rooted within
the abdominal fat, with only a small stub protruding. Losing
35 pounds of excess weight can translate to an extra inch
of penis! Excess fat also blocks your arteries and ruins
your ability to become erect. If you are overweight, work
to lose that excess body fat!
Lose pounds to gain inches! Many men can correct their
weight simply by improving their diet.
Low zinc - Zinc is perhaps the most important
single nutrient for a man's sexuality. It is crucial for
the production of sperm and seminal fluid. Clinical studies
show that men who supplement zinc experience a dramatic
increase in testosterone levels. Zinc also reduces the pituitary's
formation of prolactin, a hormone that stops testosterone
production.
Have a zinc-rich meal every day. Promise yourself some
food from the sea every day. Fish and seafood also provide
essential fatty acids to protect your heart and improve
circulation. Or have two handfuls of pumpkin or sunflower
seeds or nuts; or a cup of peas or beans. If you like liver,
it's rich in zinc. If you like toasted wheat germ, sprinkle
a tablespoonful on your cereal, salad or soup for more zinc.
Drug reactions - Doctors rarely mention
the many ways that drugs interfere with sex. They worry
(and rightly so) that men will be reluctant to take a drug
that they know could interfere with this basic human drive.
So, sexual
side effects are hardly ever discussed when drugs are prescribed.
Besides lowering libido, drugs can cause drowsiness, lethargy,
confusion, depression and weight gain. Some drugs have a
direct impact on brain chemistry.
Neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers, are
critical to sexual interest, performance and enjoyment.
A wide range of medications – like antidepressants
and high blood pressure medications – disrupt neurotransmitters,
interfering with a man's ability to achieve erection or
reach orgasm. The result is extreme frustration - imagine
the outcome if neither you or your partner know a drug is
to blame?!
If you are currently using medications that rob you of
your sex life, find a good holistic physician and work out
the lifestyle problems you have. In many cases, you may
not need to resign yourself to a life without sex. If you
think sex-robbing drugs don't apply to you, take a look
at the long list of current drugs that do just that .
Lack of exercise - Exercise reduces tension,
depression and anxiety. It increases self esteem, positive
attitude, the capacity for joy, mental acuity, aerobic capacity,
energy, and libido. Even a brief aerobic workout can point
your mood towards lovemaking and encourage more intense
orgasms. Most men have no idea how closely regular exercise
is linked to their sexual performance.
During exercise, the body produces endorphins - the "feel-good"
chemicals that increase arousal and orgasm intensity. This
sexy effect reportedly lasts 1 hour or more after just 10
minutes of activity. In one new study, 78 healthy but sedentary
men were studied during nine months of regular exercise.
The men exercised for 60 minutes a day, three days a week.
Every man in the study reported significantly enhanced sexuality,
including increased frequency, performance and satisfaction.
Rising sexuality has even been correlated with the degree
of fitness improvement! The results were clear: The higher
the level of physical fitness a man is able to attain, the
better his sex life.
Cardiovascular disease - Great sex for
men depends on clear arteries. Most men know that being
overweight increases their risk for heart disease but cardiovascular
disease will destroy a man's sex life long before it kills
him. Reason: when blood vessels are blocked, a man can't
get the proper engorgement needed to achieve an erection.
Reversing atherosclerosis means better blood flow - and
that translates to better erections and more sensitivity
to touch. Those nerve endings that bring you so much pleasure
during sex depend on good blood flow to be fully sensitized.
Circulating blood disperses hormones, which regulate sexual
function and response. And, of course, your heart has to
be strong for the deep body, physical activity of lovemaking.
Change your diet. Avoid fatty fried foods and red meat.
Eat more vegetables and salads. Again, exercise, exercise,
exercise!
