Lifestyle Tips to Improve Your Sexual Health
If you
didn’t happen to know, a healthy sex life is extremely beneficial for you! It
helps boost immunity, relieves stress and let's not forget about the good mood
endorphins. But, what’s important to understand is to know how to maintain and
improve your sex life. Here are some valuable tips to help you maintain your
sexual health and have a healthy sex life.
1.
Begin
walking
Just 30
minutes of walking every day was linked with a 41% drop in risk for ED, while a
separate trial reported that moderate exercise can help restore sexual
performance in obese, middle-aged men with ED.
2.
Never treat
sex as a burden
The
key lies not in thinking about ways to deny it to your partner, but to think of
ways to be enthusiastic about your sex life. It should definitely be an active
de-stressor in your life. After all, who wouldn't love a good sex life with a
partner? Talk your partner into it if you are in the mood for it tonight. Let
things like cleaning, making dinner, attending work calls all be attended some
other time. Candle light dinners, dress down for it, take a shower together and
simply let the passion unfold!
3.
Quit
Smoking
The
nicotine in tobacco is a potent killer. It narrows the blood vessels, which can
potentially lead to damage in the arteries and veins. The small blood vessels
in the penis are especially susceptible to damage. So, smoking can have a very
negative effect on your sex life. But there is something you can do about it:
Quitting smoking can improve your sex life and increase low libido.
4.
Watch your
waistline
High blood
pressure and cholesterol can cause the vascular problems that lead to trouble
with your erections. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by
exercising as much as you canand keeping your weight down. Avoiding
high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease may lessen the
frequency of erection problems.
5.
Confide in
your partner about changes in your body
If hot
flashes are keeping you up at night or menopause has made you dry, feel free to
talk to your partner about these things. It's much better that he knows what's
really going on rather than think of these physical changes as lack of
interest. Likewise, if you're a man and you no longer get an erection just from
the thought of sex, show your partner how to stimulate you rather than let her
believe she isn't attractive enough to arouse you anymore. Communication is the
key!
6.
Check your
vascular health
Signs that
put you on the road to poor vascular health include soaring blood pressure,
blood sugar, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides; and low levels of HDL
(good) cholesterol. Make sure to check with your doctor to find out whether
your vascular systemis in good shape or needs a tune-up through lifestyle
changes and medications.
7.
Exercise
Regular
exercise can help both men and women significantly improve their sex lives
and increase libido. Routine exercise keeps the cardiovascular system healthy,
important for libido and erections. Exercise can also increase levels of
sex hormones as well as endorphins, help women feel better, and
improve body image.
8.
Consider
counseling
Sexual
issues such as low libido and erectile dysfunction may have an emotional
component as well, so psychological counseling may be a good option. It’s very
important to consider the possibility that a psychological issue could be
causing your sexual troubles. In these cases, counseling may be extremely
helpful.
Be
creative. Expand your sexual repertoire and vary your scripts. For instance,
if you're used to making love on Saturday night, choose Sunday morning instead.
Experiment with new positions and activities. Try sex toys and sexy lingerie if
you never have before and make these small changes a part of your sex life!
Both of you will feel much better about it in no time!
