New research shows that if you are fat
and can lose about 13 per cent of your body weight over two years, you
can feel more sexually attractive and have greater sexual desire. So you
don’t need drugs to have a better sex life. Losing a bit of weight may
just do the trick.
To really lose weight, it is helpful to
treat exercise like a drug. When trying to lose weight gradually,
increase the amount you are exercising to 60-90 minute a day. Initially,
the frequency is daily. This is a treatment dose until you normalise
your weight or insulin levels. Once normalised, you will only need to
exercise three to four times a week and include more anaerobic, speed
work and strength training, as these are major keys to staying healthy.

You should exercise hard enough so that
it is difficult to talk to someone next to you. When you are exercising
that hard, your cardiovascular system is under such a significant amount
of stress that the mere act of talking makes you unable to provide your
body with enough oxygen. However, if you cannot carry on a conversation
at all, then you have gone too far and you need to decrease intensity.
And diet is just as important for weight
loss. Remember the foods that may be healthy for you; and the dangerous
ones as well. Thus, eating according to your specific nutritional type
is the proven way to ascertain which foods work best for you.
Some people are healthier eating more
protein, some are healthier eating more carbohydrate, while some people
need both protein and carbohydrate. If you tend to put on weight easily,
you are likely the protein type.
Also, controlling your insulin levels is
important to optimise your health. You see, when you eat grains and
sugar, your insulin levels increase. When insulin levels increase, you
are telling your body to store carbohydrates as fat and not to release
any of the stored fat. This makes it impossible for you to use your own
stored body fat for energy. So, the excess carbohydrates in your diet
not only make you gain weight, they make sure you keep that weight on.
By cutting grains and sugars from your diet, you will not only tame your weight but also fight illnesses.
Sex has also been found to boost
self-esteem and improve intimacy in your relationship. This is because
sex and orgasms result in increased levels of the hormone oxytocin – the
“love” hormone – that helps you to feel bonded to your partner. As
oxytocin increases, so do hormones known as endorphins, which in turn
lessen feelings of pain related to everything – from headaches and
arthritis to symptoms of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome.
It can also help you to get a better
night’s sleep. So, though it may sound tongue-in-cheek to recommend more
sex as an important health tool, it does appear that is the case. If
you are fortunate enough to be in a mutually monogamous relationship,
frequent sex is an excellent way to improve your health and even prevent
future disease.
“Frequent” is all relative, of course,
and although the above study counted twice a week as frequent, other
studies have found that having sex even once a week can benefit your
health in many ways.
Protect your heart
Obviously, having a sexual partner may
just not be a practical option for many for a large variety of reasons.
If you fall into this category, then relax, as there are many other
factors that can improve your cardiovascular health.
Low levels of vitamin D in your blood
have long been correlated with a higher risk of heart disease and heart
attacks, and a previous study found women who take vitamin D supplements
lower their risk of death from heart disease by one-third.
There are a number of physiological
mechanisms triggered by vitamin D production through sunlight exposure
that act to fight heart disease, such as an increase in your body’s
natural anti-inflammatory cytokines; the suppression of vascular
calcification; and the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle growth
So, make sure you’re monitoring your
vitamin D level regularly and then take the steps – either through sun
exposure, safe tanning bed or vitamin D3 supplements – to keep your
level in the optimal range.
Sexual dysfunction can signal health problem
Are you in a committed relationship and
finding your sex life leaves much to be desired? This sexual dysfunction
could be a sign of an underlying health problem. It could also simply
be a manifestation of stress or emotional problems, so it may take some
detective work on your end to determine the problem.
The reason why you should take time to
figure it out, aside from the obvious, is that erectile dysfunction may
be the first and earliest indicator of a significant cardiovascular
condition. If you suffer from ED, and have ruled out emotional issues as
a cause, it is especially important that you take the steps I noted
above to strengthen and protect your heart.
If ED is not the problem, but lack of
desire is, I recommend – again because sexual dysfunction can worsen due
to stress and anxiety – taking control of your emotions by getting
physically active, exercising wisely, and paying attention to cleaning
up your diet.
Studies have shown that men who engaged
in regular physical activity lowered their risk of experiencing sexual
dysfunction, while a healthy diet will not only improve your body image
in time (always a big help in the bedroom), but high levels of sugar in
your bloodstream can actually turn off the gene that controls your sex
hormones. So, we have come full circle once again, and all arrows point
to a healthy lifestyle as the solution for maintaining not only a
healthy sex life, but also a healthy heart.
What is now known is that general body
detoxification, using the typical Mayr modern detoxification therapy,
can substantially help to improve not only the sexual desire but the
ability to cope with and have regular sexual activity.
