Sexual Health and Sexual Performance
There is a variety of causes for sexual problems and decrease in libido , and also a variety of
treatments for sexual dysfunction. The only drug approved to treat sexual dysfunction
is Viagra™ by Pfizer. It performs excellent but at what cost to your health?
Side effects in Viagra™
should not be underestimated, even though it is a relative safe drug.
If you are sensible about your health, it is a good time to reflect
on what you can do so that you never need Viagra™.
There are well documented risk factors for sexual dysfunction.
If you avoid them, you reduce the risk of impotence substantially.
There are some well-known causes of loss of virility:
smoking, alcohol, drugs, stress, overweight, out of shape, poor nutrition, head problems - to name a few.
There is often room for improvement in these areas before seeking improved stamina from stimuli
or remedies outside your body and your self.
For the penis to function optimally, its blood vessels and nerves must be healthy.
To keep your blood vessels and nerves in good shape there are several simple issues that warrant attention.
Here are some examples for you to learn some of them:
Exercise
Regular exercise will improve ones overall sense of well being and reduce the risk
of disease of the blood vessels and heart. Even walking for 30 minutes daily is better
than being a couch potato in terms of cardiovascular function.
Diet
A low fat diet is key.
This will reduce your risk of disease in the blood vessels throughout your body
and reduce your risk of heart disease as well as sexual dysfunction.
Trade in the butter, red meat, fried and processed foods which contain mainly saturated fat
for the monounsaturated fats in canola oil, olive oil, nuts and avocados.
A healthy diet will also reduce the risk of diabetes that is also a risk factor for impotence.
regular cycling
One caveat to bear in mind is that there have been reports that regular cycling
may increase the risk of sexual dysfunction because of trauma to the blood vessels in the penis.
This must be put in context as cycling associated erectile dysfunction is not common.
Smoking
There is a strong association between smoking and impotence.
Cessation of smoking will also reduce the risk of heart disease.
Smoking marijuana has also been associated with sexual dysfunction.
Alcohol
It is well known that alcohol can provoke desire but diminish sexual performance.
The key issue is drinking to excess which has multiple associated health hazards.
Other drugs
Narcotic drugs and cocaine also may increase the risk of sexual dysfunction.
Numerous prescription drugs have impotence as a side-effect
Conclusions
Pay attention to your overall health and your chances will be better
that you will not need Viagra™ in the future.
On the other hand if you have problems do consult your physician promptly.
Impotence may be a sign of a significant medical problem and prompt diagnosis and
treatment will enhance the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Stop smoking and drinking. Alcohol, amphetamines, narcotics and marijuana displace oxygen
in the blood stream that's needed to allow the penis to relax and take on blood.
Exercise to oxygenate your blood and to lose weight.
Excess pounds reduce blood circulation which is vital for delivering blood (and oxygen)
throughout the body, including the brain. Eat protein and a few carbs.
Get your heart rate up for at least fifteen minutes at least three times per week.
