Sunshine Therapy
In a study released last year, an Italian team led by Dr. Alessandra Barassi, tested 143 men and concluded that low levels of vitamin D can also lead to ED issues. Ask your doctor to measure your levels, and if you find you’re on the lower end, then consider spending a bit more time outdoors, or taking an over-the-counter vitamin D daily, to potentially reduce ED.
Eating for Sexual Health
We’ve already talked about eliminating unhealthy fats for enhanced sexual function, but did you know that eating certain foods could actually enhance sexual health and boost testosterone levels? That’s right – you get to eat your way to better performance in bed.
Did you know that eating certain foods could actually enhance sexual health and boost testosterone levels?For example, watermelons contain a phytonutrient called citrulline, which researchers at Texas A&M found has a similar effect to Viagra. Eggs are a low calorie source of protein and L-arginine, an amino acid that has been found to be effective in treating ED. Spinach is an excellent source of zinc, which plays an essential role in testosterone production.
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables contain phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol, which can help combat the effects of xenoestrogens. These are estrogen-mimicking chemicals that are lurking in everything from herbicides to plastic food containers. So skip the processed treats, and instead load up on these sex-drive enhancing whole foods. Your body and your partner will certainly thank you.
Talk to Your Doctor
It’s no secret that having a frank discussion with your favorite M.D. can help get you on the road to improved sexual health, but so many men refuse to speak on the subject. Your doctor can give advice specific to your situation, prescribe treatments and medications, and help you make informed decisions regarding your sexual health. And as ED can be a symptom of serious health problems, broaching the topic could end up saving your life – and not just your sex life, either. Now that’s a conversation worth having.
Aging Doesn’t Mean Losing Your Vigor
In the past, many men assumed that diminished sexual function was simply a part of getting older, but we now know that doesn’t have to be the case. Men can continue to have perfectly normal sex lives well into their golden years, as long as they’re proactive about it. And there are a variety of natural and assisted approaches worth evaluating, that may help you to boost virility.
By taking action now, you can not only boost your current sex drive and performance, but also improve your odds of maintaining that youthful vigor as you continue to mature.
