For the stronger sex, their male potency is very important. The slightest doubt about their sexual solvency knocks them out of a rut, although outwardly they do not show this. Sexual function depends on many reasons: lifestyle, health status, proper nutrition, etc.
Health and male libido
A man's health is inextricably linked with his sexual function. If a representative of the stronger sex is healthy, his organs work normally, and male potency is at a high level. And when health problems begin, in most cases this is reflected in potency.
According to studies, representatives of the stronger sex who have regular sex life with one partner live longer than those who often change ties and do not shun casual relationships. For full-fledged sexual intercourse, not only physical pleasure is important, but also moral satisfaction. In this case, not only the bodily, but also the spiritual and emotional sphere is involved. Their combination affects the entire personality and gives an intimate relationship a special depth.
According to some experts, it is especially important to have regular intercourse after forty years. If at this age there are long breaks, male potency may decline. Here, as in any physically active actions, constant "training" is needed, otherwise the function of the organ may begin to fade away and degrade. At the age of twenty, breaks do not play a decisive role, and after forty they can cause the development of impotence. Regular intercourse improves the functioning of an important organ - the prostate. Therefore, they can be considered a prophylaxis against the appearance of prostatitis.
There is also an opinion, which is not supported by scientific research, that the lack of constant sexual activity leads to hormonal imbalances. 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 a man deteriorates, becomes grumpy, grumpy. However, this is not characteristic of all representatives of the stronger sex.
Male potency as a factor in maintaining family relationships
When a man begins to have problems with erectile function, a crack appears in the family relationship, both sides suffer from this.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms
According to doctors, 10% of the stronger sex, who have crossed the forty-year line, show signs of erectile dysfunction (that is, 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.
- The sensations during intercourse are weakened.
- During intercourse, the erection decreases.
- Sexual intercourse is delayed, a man cannot reach orgasm for a long time.
If such changes appear, you need to see a doctor (although men do not like to do this). Otherwise impotence may develop over time.
In some cases, the ability to have sexual activity can persist up to 80 years, or even longer. But in most cases, after 60 years, it significantly decreases, sometimes disappearing altogether. True, in this regard, everything is individual.
Reasons for the extinction of potency
Experts cannot come to a consensus about the reasons for the extinction 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 rises. This leads to malfunctions in the vascular system. In particular, due to excessive blood viscosity, small vessels can become clogged. 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.
Further, the blood supply to the brain deteriorates, therefore, the speed of reaction to stimuli decreases. A man is unable to quickly become aroused 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 a full sexual intercourse.
Who is at risk
For example, representatives of the stronger sex, who plunged headlong into work and constantly think about it. In this case, testosterone levels decrease, which leads to problems with male potency.
Also, these are those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, do not crawl out from behind the computer. Constant sitting leads to physical inactivity and negatively affects the functions of the body.
The third risk group is people who are constantly under emotional stress: businessmen, managers, etc.
How to avoid erectile dysfunction? First of all, you need to monitor the level of cholesterol in the blood. If it is high, it is necessary to change the nutritional system, to exclude products that cause its increase.
Next, start playing sports, leading an active lifestyle. Physical activity normalizes blood composition.
And, of course, it is necessary to establish proper nutrition, which has a positive effect on health and male potency.
Nutrition that affects male strength
Animal proteins are the most important element in erectile-enhancing diets. First of all, this is meat of different varieties. For the stronger sex, it is a vital product, as it ensures the production of the main hormone - testosterone. Animal protein is also required for sperm production. Therefore, the diet, first of all, should include beef, lamb, pork, veal, liver, chicken, turkey, etc.
Men's nutrition is unthinkable without fish, mostly fatty varieties. It contains essential polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, which prevent the formation of cholesterol. The most useful varieties include: salmon, trout, halibut, catfish, chum salmon, pink salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, etc.
It is also seafood: shrimp, mussels, squid, crayfish, lobster, crabs, oysters, seaweed. All of them contain trace elements that improve blood composition.
Eggs also belong to animal protein products. For a long time, they were considered suppliers of cholesterol, so it was recommended to limit them. But for some time now eggs have been rehabilitated, 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 erection. 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 that of a quail's egg is 10 g).
Further, the menu must necessarily include dairy products, since they are suppliers of complete animal protein. These are cottage cheese, cheese, feta cheese, milk, fermented baked milk, kefir, etc.
The diet should also contain plant foods. In the first place in terms of usefulness are legumes: beans, peas, lentils. These crops are high in vegetable protein. They can be used to cook soups, cereals.
Large amounts of vegetable protein 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 useful for an erection.
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.
Condiments and spices are very useful for enhancing sexual function. The sharper and more burning they are, the better they help you experience arousal and maintain an erection. Among the spices, red and black peppers, curry, saffron, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, etc. are especially useful. They can be used to season various dishes, as well as to be included in baked goods.
Important seasonings also include vinegar, onions, garlic, horseradish, mustard, adjika, wasabi (warning: hot seasonings and spices 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 erection. 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, oppresses her and further leads to impotence.
