Throughout human history, men have prided themselves on their physical, mental and sexual prowess. However, the rapid progress seen in the last few decades has brought both positive and negative aspects to men's lives. Degradation of the environment, reduced quality of food, sedentary work, obesity, bad habits and new diseases - all this negatively affects male potency. The term "potency" includes not only an erection, but also the duration and quality of sexual contact, attraction to members of the opposite sex, and a number of other factors that are important for a normal sexual life. It has been proven that it is not only age that negatively affects male potency. And you need to start taking care of it long before you retire. To do this, first of all you need to know what affects male sexual power.
The main factors that negatively affect potency
Age-related changes that occur in the body greatly affect a man's potency. However, age is not the only thing that affects potency. First of all, it is temperament, which depends on innate qualities. A man's relationship with his partner has a great influence on potency. Various doping agents, such as drugs, alcohol, steroids, etc. , are very harmful. And of course, potency in men is weakened by various diseases, not only those transmitted during sexual contact.
The degree of influence on the potency of a man's relationship with a woman cannot be underestimated. In some men, just before the moment of sexual intimacy, animalistic desire is involved. In most cases, male lust prevails over tenderness, which is why you completely forget about caresses. That said, many women really enjoy foreplay. And it is important to achieve harmony with your partner. The degree of its influence on potency cannot be underestimated.
Male potency is directly related to obesity. An overweight man has a reduced sex drive. This can easily be explained by the fact that fats suppress male hormones and stimulate the production of female hormones. Excess weight creates an increased load on the cardiovascular system, which directly affects the quality of sexual life in general, and erection in particular. In addition to affecting potency, obesity leads to the development of many other diseases and generally worsens the quality of life.
The degree of influence on the potency of drinks containing alcohol should not be underestimated. It is known that alcohol primarily affects the liver. How can the liver be connected to male potency? In reality, the connection is quite strong. Alcohol disrupts the normal functioning of the liver, which reduces the level of testosterone in the body, and in the case of regular consumption of alcoholic beverages, various disorders of the reproductive system gradually develop, which significantly impairs male potency. In addition, alcohol has an extremely negative effect on the sensory centers of the spinal cord, which are also associated with erection and ejaculation.
Various drugs, as well as alcohol, have a negative effect on the spinal cord, which also reduces potency and leads to ejaculation disorders, i. e. it may be too fast or not appear at all. The most common disease among drug addicts is not AIDS, as many believe, but hepatitis C. This disease has an extremely negative effect on the liver, which leads to a disruption in the production of male sex hormones and the development of impotence. Even those drugs that are usually classified as "light" (marijuana, etc. ) disrupt hormone levels, suppressing testosterone production. Long-term drug use contributes to the development of depression. And that is already a psychological obstacle to a normal sexual life. And the more often a person is depressed, the less he thinks about sexual contacts, which as a result has a negative effect on male potency.
Low-quality proteins and various types of steroids have a negative effect on potency. Strength athletes often use protein supplements and steroids to speed up muscle growth. Most existing proteins are harmless to the body. However, there are counterfeit soybeans of poor quality on the market. As is known, its composition includes phytoestrogen - this is a plant analogue of estrogen, i. e. female hormone. Men who regularly take such low-quality cocktails may have increased levels of female hormones. They will suppress sex hormones in men, which will certainly lead to a decrease in libido and deterioration of potency. Steroids also lead to various hormonal disorders, due to which potency can be disturbed.
What diseases reduce potency?
Diseases of a very different nature can lead to a weakening of male potency. First of all, these are various endocrine diseases in which disturbances in the synthesis of sex hormones are observed. It can be caused by genetic disorders, chronic diseases, injuries and tumors. Such diseases are diagnosed by an endocrinologist. Hormonal drugs are usually used to treat such diseases. You can start treatment only on the recommendation of a doctor, here self-treatment is unacceptable, because this can only worsen the problem.
Diseases of the spinal cord, brain and various neurological disorders lead to a decrease in male potency. Such diseases include:
- epilepsy;
- injuries of the perineum and pelvis, including postoperative;
- chronic and autoimmune diseases;
- circulatory disorders;
- Parkinson's disease.
In young men, potency disorders can develop against the background of various psychological problems, such as:
- long-term depression and constant stress;
- chronic fatigue;
- neuroses;
- dissatisfaction with oneself or one's partner;
- general weakness.
Various infectious and other diseases often lead to a decrease in potency:
- coli;
- chlamydia;
- syphilis;
- staphylococcus;
- fungal infections;
- gonorrhea.
Effect of drugs on potency
Some drugs can cause sexual dysfunction and reduce potency. These drugs include various hormone pills, for example, female hormones, which are often used in the treatment of cancer. Potency is negatively affected by all medications that lead to brain depression (antidepressants, narcotics, alcoholic beverages).
Even those pills that people consider absolutely harmless (diuretics, drugs to reduce acidity, etc. ) can cause potency disorders. Therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences, before using any medicine, you must carefully study the instructions, consult a doctor and strictly follow his recommendations.
The doctor will be able to assess the ratio of benefits and side effects of a particular drug and, if necessary, choose an analogue that will not affect reproductive function.
What foods affect potency?
In addition to negative factors, there are many substances that have a positive effect on male sexual power. First of all, these are healthy and high-quality food products. However, it is important to know that not every food has a positive effect on the reproductive system.
First of all, you must give up food that contains animal fats. Carbohydrate consumption should also be kept to a minimum.
This is especially true for bachelors, whose diet consists mainly of sandwiches, pasta, mayonnaise and sauces. Excess animal fat can cause the development of atherosclerosis and impotence.
To improve potency, you need to include familiar foods such as carrots, various greens, garlic, cabbage, onions, etc. in your regular diet. In order to maintain potency as long as possible, it is necessary to consume a sufficient amount of vitamin C. It is found in black currants, green salad, pepper, spinach, bar and other products.
With a lack of this vitamin, your health will deteriorate, you will develop diseases of the cardiovascular system, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the quality of your sexual life.
One of the main allies of strong potency is seafood. They contain unsaturated fatty acids and various useful microelements, which are the "building material" for sex hormones. Oysters that contain zinc, iodine and selenium are especially valued.
Since ancient times, nuts, seeds of various oil plants and vegetable oils themselves have been actively used to strengthen male power. These products contain vitamin E. It normalizes muscle work, reduces fatigue and prevents the development of weakness. This substance has a beneficial effect on the function of the gonads, thyroid gland and pituitary gland. Vitamin E is found in meat and fish, legumes and various vegetables.
Coffee, natural chocolate and cocoa have a positive effect on male potency.
Substances that increase male potency are found in many products, but it is best to work out a proper diet with your doctor whenever possible. Be healthy!
