Men with a healthy lifestyle and no chronic disease had the lowest risk for erectile dysfunction; the greatest difference was seen for men aged 65-79. For instance, men who exercised at least three hours per week had a 30% lower risk for ED than those who exercised little. Obesity, smoking, and excessive TV watching were also associated with having a greater risk of erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction affects as many as 20 million American men. It can be devastating to self-esteem and have far reaching effects on relationships. Researchers say they hope their study will shed new light on the condition and help fight its social stigma and lead to a better sex life.
Most people know that a better sex life has endless physical and psychological health benefits, including a stronger immune system, better breathing and circulation and healthier skin. A better sex life can also relieve chronic pain and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Vitamins for Better Sex
Vitamin A is essential for normal reproduction, and a deficiency of Vitamin A has been shown to cause atrophy of the testicles and ovaries in male and female rats, leading to sterilization.). A deficiency in vitamin A is also thought to result in a decreased production of sex hormones as well as dry, scaly skin (it is needed for soft and beautiful skin
Vitamin B-1 is essential to energy production and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, so a deficiency of vitamin B-1 can lead to decreased energy and reduced sex drive. More symptoms of deficiency include fatigue, decreased alertness, constipation and heart symptoms (like rapid heartbeat).
Deficiency of vitamin B-3, also called niacin, can lead to skin eruptions, bowel problems and even mental problems. Your sex life is impacted by the presence of vitamin B-3 because it increases blood flow to the extremities, including the brain. Problems with the nerve and digestive systems caused by vitamin B-3 deficiency can negatively affect your sex life.
Vitamin C influences a better sex life with its role in the absorption of iron, the formation of blood cells and the metabolism of the adrenal gland, all processes that affect your sex life. Iron helps oxygenation of the tissues for energy production, while blood carries oxygen, hormones and nutrients to the organs, glands and tissues. The adrenal gland produces lots of hormones that influence your sex life, including a hormone that helps to stimulate orgasm. In addition, vitamin C also strengthens your immune system, protects against stress and helps keep your joints limber and active.
Several other vitamins, including vitamin D, vitamin E and folic acid, have direct and indirect effects on a better sex life and good health in general.
