For the stronger sex, their male potency is very important. The slightest doubt about their sexual solvency kills them, although outwardly they do not show this. Sexual function depends on many reasons: lifestyle, health, proper nutrition, etc.
Health and male libido
A man's health is inextricably linked to his sexual function. If a member of the stronger sex is healthy, his organs work normally and male potency is at a high level. And when health problems start, in most cases it is reflected in potency.
According to studies, the stronger sex, who have a regular sex life with one partner, live longer than those who often change their relationships and do not avoid casual relationships. Not only physical pleasure but also moral satisfaction is important for full sexual intercourse. In this case, not only the physical but also the spiritual and emotional spheres are involved. Their combination affects the whole person and gives intimate relationships a special depth.
According to some experts, regular intercourse after forty years is especially important. If there are long breaks at this age, men's potency may decrease. Here, as with any physical activity, constant "training" is required, otherwise the function of the organ may begin to disappear and break down. At the age of twenty, breaks do not play a decisive role and after forty can cause the development of impotence. Regular intercourse improves the functioning of an important organ - the prostate, so they can be considered a prophylaxis against the appearance of prostatitis.
There is also an opinion, which is not supported by research, that the lack of constant sexual activity leads to hormonal imbalance. This has a negative effect on the health of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract and liver. The nervous system also undergoes negative changes, the character of the man deteriorates, becomes grumbling, grumbling. However, this is not typical for all members of the stronger sex.
Male potency as a factor in maintaining family relationships
When a man begins to have problems with erectile function, a rift appears in family relationships, and both parties suffer from it.
Symptoms of erectile dysfunction
According to doctors, 10% of the stronger sex over the age of forty show signs of erectile dysfunction (ie there are problems with erection). The symptoms of this phenomenon are as follows:
- It is more difficult to achieve an erection.
- Partial erection, the penis does not reach full hardness.
- Feelings during intercourse are weakened.
- During intercourse, the erection decreases.
- Sexual intercourse is delayed, the man can not reach orgasm for a long time.
If such changes occur, you should see a doctor (although men do not like to do this). Otherwise, impotence may develop over time.
In some cases, the ability to have sex can last up to 80 years or even longer. But in most cases after 60 years it significantly decreases, sometimes disappears completely. It is true that in this respect everything is individual.
Reasons for the disappearance of potency
Experts cannot reach a consensus on the reasons for the disappearance of male potency at a relatively young age. However, a number of reasons are still clear. First of all, this is a change in the composition of the blood: it becomes thicker, the amount of cholesterol in it increases. This leads to malfunctions in the vascular system. In particular, due to the excessive viscosity of the blood, small vessels can become blocked. As a result, the work of the vessels supplying the penis becomes more difficult.
Another reason is a decrease in the elasticity of vascular tissues, as well as a deterioration in the ability of the heart muscle to contract.
In addition, the blood supply to the brain deteriorates, which reduces the rate of response to stimuli. The man cannot get aroused quickly and then maintain a high level of erection.
There is also a decrease in the elasticity of muscles and tendons. This is also a consequence of impaired blood supply. As a result, a man cannot have full sexual intercourse.
Who is at risk
For example, members of the stronger sex, who dived headlong into the work and constantly think about it. In this case, testosterone levels decrease, which leads to problems with male potency.
Also, these are the ones who lead a sedentary lifestyle, do not crawl behind the computer. Constant sitting leads to physical inactivity and negatively affects the functions of the body.
The third risk group are people who are constantly subjected to emotional stress: businessmen, managers, etc.
How to avoid erectile dysfunction? First of all, you need to monitor your blood cholesterol level. If it is high, it is necessary to change the food system to exclude the products that cause its increase.
Then start exercising, leading an active lifestyle. Physical activity normalizes the composition of the blood.
And, of course, it is necessary to establish a proper diet that has a positive effect on health and male potency.
Nutrition that affects male strength
Animal protein is the most important element in diets to increase erectile dysfunction. First of all, this is meat of different varieties. It is a vital product for the stronger sex, as it ensures the production of the main hormone - testosterone. Animal protein is also needed for sperm production. Therefore, the diet, in the first place, should include beef, lamb, pork, beef, liver, chicken, turkey, etc.
The diet of men is unthinkable without fish, mostly fatty varieties. Contains essential omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which prevent the formation of cholesterol. The most useful varieties include: salmon, trout, flounder, catfish, salmon, pink salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring and more.
This is also seafood: shrimp, mussels, squid, crabs, lobsters, crabs, oysters, seaweed. They all contain trace elements that improve the composition of the blood.
Eggs also belong to animal protein products. For a long time, they were considered suppliers of cholesterol, so it was advisable to limit them. But eggs have been rehabilitated for some time, as recent studies have shown that they do not cause the accumulation of bad cholesterol.
Quail eggs are especially useful for potency. They have a strong stimulating effect, increase erections. You can eat scrambled eggs from 15-20 quail eggs (they are small: for comparison: the weight of a chicken egg is 60 g, and a quail egg is 10 g).
In addition, the menu must include dairy products, as they are suppliers of complete animal proteins. These are cottage cheese, cheese, feta cheese, milk, fermented baked milk, kefir and more.
The diet should also include plant foods. In the first place in terms of usefulness are legumes: beans, peas, lentils. These crops are high in plant protein. They can be used for cooking soups, cereals.
Large amounts of plant proteins include nuts: walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts, pistachios. In addition, nuts are rich in vitamin E, which is essential for sexual function.
Bitter chocolate is also good for erections.
It is clear that a healthy diet is unthinkable without fruits and vegetables. They contain vitamins and minerals necessary for the functioning of all organs and maintaining high immunity.
Spices and condiments are very useful for improving sexual function. The sharper and more burning they are, the better they help you feel aroused and maintain an erection. Among the spices are especially useful red and black peppers, curry, saffron, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and others. They can be used to season various dishes, as well as to be included in baked goods.
Important spices also include vinegar, onion, garlic, horseradish, mustard, adjika, wasabi (warning: hot spices and condiments are contraindicated in men with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract).
I must say that alcohol, due to its vasodilating properties, also has a beneficial effect on erections. But there is a very important point. Alcohol, if consumed in moderation, stimulates sexual function. And if you use it excessively, it, on the contrary, suppresses it and further leads to impotence.
