Not many men know everything that they ought to about their own sexual wellness and wellbeing. All men want to be healthy, but this generally involves watching what they eat, taking regular exercise and trying to manage their stress levels. Many of them don’t know that there are things that they should also be doing to safeguard their sexual health, as follows.
Eating a healthy diet is vital for your sexual health. Most men don’t know this, but what you eat could actually have an effect on your sexual performance. Foods that are rich in nutrients but low in fats will help to keep your reproductive system in good condition. Try to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and drink plenty of milk.
Make sure that you get plenty of regular exercise too – men who live a ‘coach potato’ type lifestyle can often find themselves suffering for it in the bedroom. Getting moving helps to maintain your sexual health. Do some form of exercise that you really enjoy, such as tennis, cycling or even going for a brisk walk.
You will know all the physical-health related reasons for not smoking, but did you know it can also affect your sexual health too? Many doctors have found that smoking can be one of the main causes of sexual dysfunction amongst males. Studies have shown that most men who have sexual dysfunction are smokers and that smoking can also decrease sperm count and reduce the quality of sperm. This is because smoking damages the little arteries that feed blood into the penis, which makes it difficult to maintain an erection.
You should also reduce your alcohol intake, as it puts you at risk for erectile dysfunction. Alcohol can cause difficulty with orgasm and can also reduce libido and cause problems getting or maintaining and erection.
