Best Foods to Improve Sexual Function

You what are some pill free ways to improve your sex life exercise quit smoking don't drink too much don't weigh too much and eat a healthy diet but what does that mean heart healthy lifestyle changes are sex healthy lifestyle changes as has been demonstrated in studies from around the world including in women sexual function women is also significantly affected by coronary artery disease atherosclerosis including the arteries that supply our pelvis so high cholesterol may mean lower arousal or gas lubrication and satisfaction and the same with high blood pressure so putting women on a more plant-based diet may help with sexual functioning researchers found that improvements in female sexual function index scores were related to an increased intake of fruit vegetables nuts and beans and a shift from animal to plant sources of fat in the same with men a significant improvement in international index of erectile function scores in fact the largest study and diet and erectile disfunction found that each additional daily serving of fruits or vegetables may reduce the risk by 10% but why it may be due to the anti-inflammatory effects two years on a healthier diet resulted in a significant reduction in systemic inflammation as indicated by reduced levels of c-reactive protein fiber itself may play an anti-inflammatory role those who eat the most fiber tend to have significantly lower levels of inflammation in their bodies the opposite was found for saturated fat associated with an increased likelihood of elevated c-reactive protein level this is how we're used to seeing changes in inflammatory markers over weeks months or years but people don't realize that the level of inflammation in our bodies can change after a single meal for example there's a pro-inflammatory signaling molecule in our bodies called interleukin 18 thought to play a role in destabilizing atherosclerosis as such the level of interleukin 18 in the blood is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death what would happen if you fed people one of three different types of meals sausage and egg butter oil sandwiches or cheeseless pizza with a white flour crust or the same cheeseless pizza but with a whole wheat crust within hours of eating the sausage sandwich interleukin 18 level shot up about 20% and effect not seen eating the plant-based pizza and those eating the whole food plant-based pizza had about a 20% drop in il-18 levels within hours reinforcing dietary recommendation to eat a diet high in fiber and starches and low in saturated fat to prevent chronic diseases but the billions are in pills not plants which is why the pharmacology of the female orgasm studied ever since 1972 when a researcher at Tulane University implanted tubes deep within the brain of a woman so he could inject drugs directly into her brain and was able to induce repetitive orgasms a man who had electrodes placed into similar parts of his brain was given a device for a few hours that allowed him to press the button himself to stimulate the electrode he pressed the button up to 1,500 times

BPA Plastic and Male Sexual Dysfunction

What about food sources of BPA a plastics chemical used for lining metal cans and in polycarbonate as opposed to PVC plastics in humans BPA is associated with cardiovascular disease diabetes male sexual dysfunction exposed workers food is a major exposure source but there weren't any studies reporting BPA in us fresh canned and packaged foods in the scientific literature until now before we get to what they found what do they mean by male sexual dysfunction the relationship between urine BPA level and declining male sexual function increasing urine BPA level was associated with decreased sexual desire more difficulty having an erection lower ejaculation strength and lower level of overall satisfaction with sex life this finding may have important public health implications given the widespread human exposure to BPA but from where in our diet in particular they measured BPA levels in over 100 fresh and canned foods foods sold in plastic packaging and in cat and dog foods in both cans and plastic packaging nearly all the canned foods were contaminated from green beans to sardines tuna and va2 Chef Boyardee there was only one fresh non canned food that had detectable levels so if you don't buy canned foods or stick to bpa-free canned foods the only food left to worry about appears to be sliced turkey you you

Prostate vs. Plants

by -

"Prostate vs Plants" According to a recent review, the most notable development in the epidemic of prostate enlargement and lower urinary tract symptoms "is the recognition that modifiable lifestyle factors substantially influence the natural history of these conditions." These are the factors associated with increased risk–obesity, diabetes, meat, and fat. And some associated with decreased risk– exercise, moderate alcohol consumption, and vegetables. Which vegetables? Garlic and onions appear to help. I like how they call them onion users. Cooked vegetables appear to work better than raw, so maybe it's the carotenoids.

And legumes were also found protective– peas, beans and lentils. And flax seeds appear so powerful that they may be used to both prevent and treat the condition. A randomized double blind placebo controlled clinical trial that found that flax phytonutrients not only alleviate BPH symptoms, but their efficacy appeared comparable to the drugs we spend a billion dollars on without the side effects. Flaxseeds also work against prostate cancer. These researchers had men who were about to get their prostates removed eat three tablespoons of flaxseeds a day for the few weeks before surgery. They were skeptical that they would observe any differences in tumor biology between the flaxseed-fortified diet-treated patients and the controls with such a short-term dietary intervention, but they found significantly lower cancer proliferation rates and significantly higher rates of apoptotic cancer cell death, (the cancer cell suicide I've talked about). Thus, these findings suggest that a flaxseed-supplemented, low-fat diet may have an affect on prostate cancer biology. Just a few things have been found associated with significantly increased risk for the disease: refined grains, like white bread, also eggs, and poultry, which appeared even worse than red meat or desserts! "Although these data are observational and , there is little, if any, downside to promotion of healthy" "lifestyle interventions: weight loss, exercise, decreasing meat and fat intakes, and increasing vegetable intake" among those with prostate problems, "particularly since these interventions possess proven benefits to overall and cardiovascular health." And how about before you're a prostate patient? "Lifestyle habits associated with a decreased risk of developing clinical BPH" "are also highly likely to be beneficial in reducing the risk of erectile dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes." For this reason, urologists should encourage ALL men to undertake a prostate-healthy lifestyle.
