What foods are helpful for sexual function? Be wary of these foods affecting your sexual life
Moon said: Eating men and women, people's desires are vague. There is an important dependency relationship between food and sexual function. Eating may not directly improve performance, but eating right and well must have a strong effect. Fox News recently issued an article warning that unhealthy eating habits are leading to an increasing number of people's decreased libido and decreased sexual appeal.
Bao Shengtao, a professional member of the andrology branch of the China Association of Chinese Medicine and a doctor in charge of andrology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the Life Times that many people are now blindly losing weight or deliberately taking a vegetarian diet, which is so far related to its nature. Such examples are common in clinical practice.
In the early stages of weight loss, what is lost is water, and then a large amount of fat is consumed, resulting in a significant decrease in physical strength. Sex is a moderate intensity exercise, and after excessive weight loss, couples can easily lose strength during sexual intercourse. Bao Shentao said that being too thin and lacking necessary fat, couples cannot try many sexual positions.
In addition, after losing weight, people's color and appearance may slightly deteriorate, and their visual sexual appeal may also be compromised. Men are very visually sensitive during sexual activity. Research has shown that from a sexual perspective, men are more likely to respond to the opposite sex with rounded curves and distinct female characteristics.
Long term vegetarianism directly affects sexual desire. A study in the United States has found that most vegetarians have low libido, and men are more likely to experience problems such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. This is because animal fat can promote the secretion of sex hormones in the human body. Low protein content in vegetarianism can affect brain commands, leading to imbalances in sex hormone secretion and a decrease in human sexual desire.
Bao Shentao emphasized that in order to improve the quality of sexual intercourse, one must be "meticulous" in eating and achieve balanced nutrition. Sea cucumbers are beneficial for both men and women, as they can improve libido, enhance sexiness, and promote the secretion of lubricants by women. In addition, due to the changes in winter and spring seasons, the dry season has not yet passed. Especially for women, they should eat more foods such as yam, coix, red beans, eel, walnuts, beef and mutton that can strengthen the spleen and kidney. These foods can alleviate problems such as sexual dryness and insufficient lubrication
