[YOUR HEALTH] Good sex depends on balanced nourishment

Sexual prowess, velocity, and satisfaction mostly can be a challenge when one wants to go for more than two rounds at a go, especially at old age. Many men regardless of their libido as they get older still find their performance just below average. Their challenge might just be diet-related.

It is globally acknowledged that food and drink play significant roles in defining our total health and of course, our sexual agility.

What some men eat has affected them to the point that their sexual health cannot be redeemed. Most of the foods many men enjoy eating are at the root of major life-threatening sexual diseases and illnesses. Contrary to popular opinion, old age is not a disease, nor is the reason for the sexual challenges many men are plagued with. So, instead of blaming your inability to perform well on old age, take a good preview and review on your lifestyle, especially your eating habit.

Research has come up with statistics that whatever a man or woman eats from age one to age 50 will definitely be what will affect their entire health and total well-being for the rest of their lives. The entire well-being here includes every aspect of life, and amazingly the most affected organs for men are the heart, liver, penis and the prostrate. And the most popular five complaints of men are either hypertension, diabetes, erectile dysfunction or prostrate abnormalities. While that of the women are fibroid, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and breast cancer. It is therefore important to eat and drink the right kind of food at the right time of the day. Let our food be our sexual enhancer, energiser and medicine.

It is a remarkable fact that the constituency of natural plant base is actually the constituency of the human body. It is therefore important for us to understand the dynamics of what constitutes a balanced diet. Unfortunately in our culture and many cultures around the world,  the so-called civilisation has led to denaturalisation or denaturing of the foods and drinks that human beings consume. And this takes a toll on our sexual enthusiasm. Food processing and preservation methods, which I believe were conceived for noble reasons, have suddenly become an impediment to the human race as far as health, sexuality and disease are concerned. Chemicals used in preserving our food are now causing myriads of diseases and sexual inability.

 What we eat and what we refrain from should be focused on total wellness, good sexual performance and healthy living. The fact still remains that good diet plays a very important role in the sexual and health equation. It helps bail us out of numerous sexual and health challenges if only couples are ready to make necessary changes and adjustment in their diet, eating habit and lifestyle. If they can consider diet and lifestyle changes as part of their health plans, couples will live better, enjoy a healthy sex life and age in grace. Diet and lifestyle changes would definitely serve as preventive measures against sexual and reproductive health diseases.

With good diet, breath exercises, pelvic wall exercise, Kegel exercise and mind control mechanism, couples can handle cases like premature ejaculation, urinary tract infection, weak erection, inflammation of the vulva, inflammation of the prostate gland, unusual redness of the breasts, quick ejaculation, inflammation of the breast, breast lumps, fibroid, impotence, cancer of the prostate gland, cancer of the cervix, cancer of the uterus and obesity.

To be candid, the only natural thing about a couple’s sexual life is for the married partners to enjoy good sexual relationship to the end of their marital union.

For better sexual health, foods rich in potassium, antioxidant, vitamins especially the vitamin ‘B’ collections still have overwhelming effect on libido.
