Sexual Health
<p><b>7 foods that can affect your sexual health</b></p>
<p>Food and sex have a complicated relationship. Many factors might cause erection issues, including poor heart health, smoking, and certain drugs.</p>
<p><br />Another big depressant? A poor diet. Your energy levels, blood flow, and hormones may all be messed up by the foods you eat, how much you eat, and how often you consume them – all key actors in your sex life.</p>
<p><br />A healthy diet can help you increase your libido and keep your body in excellent shape. Fuelling your body with the correct foods can help you maintain a healthy relationship and sex life by boosting your mood and energy levels. Eat a nutrient-dense diet and go easy on trans and saturated fats, added sweets, and salt.</p>
<p><br /><b>Sugar</b><br />Sugar can be a sex life killer. Sugar-rich diets have a negative influence on your overall cardiovascular health, which in turn has a downer of an influence on your penis health. Sugar decreases libido by lowering testosterone levels.</p>
<p><br /><b>Diet drinks/soda</b><br />Artificially sweetened drinks (and food, for that matter) are no friends of your health. Besides weight gain, artificial sweeteners could cause headaches.</p>
<p><br /><b>Alcohol</b><br />Alcoholic beverages have a double-whammy effect on your sex life since they suppress your testosterone while also impairing your sexual function.</p>
<p><br /><b>Berries</b><br />Fresh or frozen berries are extremely nutritious, but fruit with edible skin, particularly berries, carry some of the highest doses of pesticides, including those that mimic oestrogen. But if you can find organic, pesticide-free berries, their vitamin content might help improve your sex life.</p>
<p><br /><b>Cheese</b><br />Cheese made from cow's milk (which may include synthetic hormones) has the potential to disrupt your body's natural hormone synthesis, including oestrogen and testosterone.</p>
<p><br /><b>Chocolate</b><br />Dark chocolate can be beneficial to your health if you buy the right kind. However, it may affect your sex life. Though it’s commonly known as an aphrodisiac, chocolate can also suppress testosterone levels.</p>
<p><br /><b>All-purpose flour</b><br />The mineral zinc is a vitamin that’s critical for a man's reproductive health. So, before you go out and buy your next loaf of bread, there are a few things to consider. All-purpose flour provides around three-quarters less zinc than wholegrain or wholewheat flour.</p>
<p><br /><b>Tips</b><br />• Try oysters. They're high in zinc, which raises testosterone levels, and they've long been used as an erotic aid.<br />• To unwind and reconnect, eat together.<br />• Reduce your alcohol consumption.<br />• To increase healthy blood flow and maintain erections, eat watermelon, or take L-citrulline tablets.</p>
