Food and Nutrition Guide for Male Sexual Health By CHARLES MOON

In order to have better sex it is necessary to keep the penis and reproductive organs in a healthy state. For optimum performance and for increased libido, it is vital to keep the arteries healthy in order to allow increased blood flow to the penis. Asides from promoting a healthy blood flow, it is also important to maintain overall health of organs, and to increase energy levels. Various male enhancement supplements and pills can be taken by men with erectile dysfunction and low libido, which contain high levels of nutritional ingredients containing properties very effective at achieving the desired results. The Role of Testosterone in Male Sexual Health Testosterone is the prominent male sex hormone produced by the testicles and adrenal glands, and is crucial in the development of male characteristics of genital sexual progression. Testosterone is vital in the functions of penis growth, muscle development, sperm production, and sex drive in regards to genital sexual health. In order to increase libido and counter erectile dysfunction it is necessary to increase testosterone levels. The Causes of Low Libido and Erectile Dysfunction Before attempting to find a remedy to treat sexual dysfunction problems, it would be wise to review what has caused it first and try to rectify it naturally. 1. Nicotine - smoking tobacco can be a contributory cause of impotence because nicotine acts as a vasocontrictor tightening blood vessels hence restricting blood flow to the penis. In the long term it might cause permanent damage to the arteries.Studies have shown that a greater proportion of men affected with impotence are smokers. 2. Caffeine - caffeine also acts as a vasoconstrictor and it also raises blood pressure, which is associated with infertility and low libido. Medical studies show high levels of caffeine decrease levels of testosterone due to the stress on the adrenal glands. 3. Glucose - having high blood sugar levels damages the walls of the arteries and nerve cells, which has an impact on blood flow and maintaining an erection. 4. Cholesterol - high levels of cholesterol cause fatty deposits to accumulate on artery walls reducing the ability of the vessels to dilate properly hence restricting blood flow. Many foodstuffs, including herbs and roots, contain essential vitamins, fatty oils, and nutrients that are very effective in maintaining healthy blood flow and keeping the arteries healthy. Some foods to consider to combat erectile dysfunction are listed here. The multi benefits of not only enhancing sexual performance but also keeping heart and skin healthy is a great reason to change to a balanced well nutritioned diet. Foods to Enhance Sexual Performance 1. Spicy foods increase heart rate and causes vessels to expand pumping blood around the body. Eating chilli pepper and jalapenos will increase blood circulation. 2. Seafood contain high levels of Omega-3 acids that maintain healthy heart and blood flow. Salmon, oysters, shellfish will promote healthier blood flow. 3. Green vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants for better blood circulation and zinc for testorone production. Eating spinach, brocolli, artichoke, and asparagus is good for improving sexual function. 4. Fruit also contain high levels of vitamins essential in maintaining healthy organs and blood flow. Watermelon, Pomegranate, and Papaya notably act like a natural viagra acting as a vasodilator expanding blood vessels promoting increased blood flow. 5. Seeds and Nuts contain high levels of fibre and zinc. Try almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to improve circulatory health. 6. Multi vitamin health roots like ginseng and gingko biloba can treat impotence and maintain sexual vigour. Foods to Enhance Testosterone Levels 1. Cruciferous Vegetables - brocolli, cauliflower, radishes, turnips, cabbage, brussel sprouts 2. Oysters - high levels of zinc increases sperm production 3.

The Super Sex Diet By Dr Cecilia Tregear

Want to have great mind, mind blowing sex? Then change your diet, balance your hormones and cur out the stress for longer, lasting orgasms. These days, despite all the tips and tricks for long lasting sex, the bedroom still lacks sizzle, leaving us frustrated and bored in our romantic relationships. Either we're too tired, have lost our libidos, or have got stuck in a rut or boring routine, which makes sex with our partner a chore. A poor sex life can be caused by hormonal problems, such as a thyroid condition, or because of the effects of the menopause/andropause which deplete and cause an imbalance of sex hormones. But lifestyle factors, such as eating poorly, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, stress and lack of exercise, can also have a massive impact on the general health and the hormones. People who have lots of sex in their relationships had something else in common: their diet. All of them were eating extremely nutritious food. Good nutrition is essential for the healthy...

Beef Chuck: Everything You Need to Know By Danilo Alfaro Culinary Arts Expert

Beef chuck is the biggest primal cut of beef, and it's the source of some of the most flavorful steaks and roasts. But it's not just big — it's also complicated, made up of more than a dozen separate muscles, several large bones, and quite a bit of  connective tissue holding it all together. Boneless beef chuck roast.  Bruce McIntosh / Getty Images What Is the Beef Chuck Primal Cut? In the old days, a whole beef chuck would simply be cut up into thick roasts. These days, butchers are learning to take the beef chuck apart one muscle at a time, introducing new steaks and roasts that didn't exist a decade or two ago. One approach isn't necessarily better than the other. Sure, it's true that sometimes, in our search for the next new thing, or new way of doing something (often just for the sake of newness), it's possible to lose sight of what made the original so good to begin with. Still, the beef chuck is loaded with meaty, beef flavor, and as lon...

Food and Sex - It's Not a Fad Diet By L. G. Campbell

The two things in our lives that we need and enjoy the most are food and sex. Some people might say that you do not have to have sex, and others say there is no such thing as too much sex. But, the fact is that both physically and mentally we all need a certain amount sex. Food, on the other hand, is both a pleasure and a necessity and this is where the problem starts for approximately 70% of the population. We enjoy food so much that we overindulge and eat too much of the wrong things. Have you noticed that everyone seems to be on some kind of a diet or they are starting some new fad diet next week? One person is starting the South Beach Diet and another is starting the Fat Smash Diet, and someone else is still trying the Adkins Diet. We try every new diet that hits the market - including the low-carb, no-carb, low-fat, no-fat, and even the grapefruit diet. And it goes on and on, one fad diet after another and the weight just goes up and down like a yo-yo. The simple truth -...

Start Saving Now for Christmas By Jasmine Birtles

The one thing we recommend you  don't do is join a Christmas hamper club where your money is not safeguarded (remember the Farepack fiasco in 2006?) Have a look at these alternatives and you could have Christmas wrapped-up by November: Do some Christmas shopping now Shop prices tend to go up and up the nearer we get to Christmas and with so many people beyond just immediate family and friends to consider, it's handy to look out for any special offers, sales and BOGOFs (that's buy-one-get-one-frees) as early as you can. You could end up saving yourself lots of money, plus you can feel smug amongst the stressed-out shoppers in December because you'll have most of your shopping out of the way. Keep an eye out for gifts throughout the year - as well as the big seasonal sales, plenty of stores now have smaller sales throughout the year in an effort to boost flagging profit margins.

What To Eat For Stomach Flu By Neal Kennedy

When you have viral gastroenteritis, which is commonly known as a stomach virus or the stomach flu, you have an illness in which a virus attacks your gastrointestinal tract. Since the two most prominent symptoms of gastroenteritis are vomiting and diarrhea, the first question most people ask their doctor is what should they eat when they have stomach flu. Depending on the severity of your case, it may be hard to keep any food down at all, and there might not be much you can digest successfully. But some foods work better than others. Foods that are easy for your system to process have the best chance of staying with you. These include applesauce, bananas, eggs, gelatin, soda crackers and toast. For the most part, make sure you stay away from foods that are acidic, spicy or greasy. Also avoid vegetables that contain a lot of fiber. Course grains and meats should be avoided too, as should dairy products. When you have stomach flu, it's very important to get l...
