Sexual health is a very important part of life. All experts on the topic of wellness agree that having loving and sexual intimacy in your life leads to a healthy relationship and improves your happiness as well as your quality of life.
As people get older, their sexual wellbeing can start to decline, due to decreased health, chronic health conditions and fatigue. These factors can lead to a serious sexual decline, as people feel unable to perform sexually at their best. As people get older, hormonal changes, along with changes in cardiovascular health, can lead to severely reduced sexual function. In addition to this, any drugs or therapies that are designed to treat chronic health conditions can have a negative effect on sexual health and sexual desire, further compounding the issue.
The experts do agree, though, that holding on to sexual function is incredibly important, and fortunately there are things that you can do to ensure that you are as able as possible to continue to have a healthy sex life.
First of all, and it may sound like old, tired, advice, but it is more true than ever, you must try to have a healthy diet. What you eat has a direct effect on your sexual health. Healthy foods are rich in nutrients and are low in fat, and they help to boost your sexual function. Try to eat plenty of fruit and veg, as well as whole grains, low fat milk and lean meat.
Taking plenty of exercise can also help to maintain your sexual health. Any kind of regular exercise is beneficial in this way.
Smoking cessation is also vitally important for sexual function, and you may be surprised to learn that doctors agree that smoking is one of the main causes of sexual dysfunction in both genders.
