How To Have Better Sexual Health Through Proper Nutrition

Do you know the most important factor in good sexual health? It's your mind. Studies involving men and women have shown that it is the mind that determines sexual performance and drive more than anything else. Men and women were given a placebo and told that it would increase their libido and performance; the majority stated that they saw a significant increase in those areas which show us that it is the mind more than a pill that is responsible for the change.

So what does food have to do with sexual and emotional health and how the mind works to help us have better health?

For women, the addition of soy in the diet will help in vaginal lubrication because soy adheres to the estrogen receptors, which are responsible for determining how much lubrication the vagina needs. It also helps to reduce the occurrence of hot flashes that happen during menopause. For men, soy is beneficial to helping the prostate healthy. Adding chili peppers and ginger to your diet will help improve your circulation and stimulate nerve endings, which will improve your sexual pleasure.

Another added benefit to eating heart healthy foods is that they also help a man's sexual health by keeping the blood flowing properly through the arteries. If you have problems such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease this can affect the function of the male organs due to the inability of the blood flow to reach the genital area, which can cause erectile dysfunction.

There are also a number of foods that are said to directly affect sexual performance due to their aphrodisiac influence. These foods include ginseng, bananas, figs, asparagus, eels, oysters, and rhino horn which supposedly increases sexual appetite.

There are many myths that pertain to food and sexual health that date back thousands of years, such as eating certain roots that are phallic shaped will increase a man's performance but there are some true benefits from certain foods and beverages.

The consumption of alcohol relaxes you and gives you a short term artificial boost in self confidence. Caffeine and sugar are the solution for a quick energy fix. These are just some quick short term things, it is the diet we follow daily for a long time that will go far to creating better sexual health. Eating lean foods like fish along with fruits and vegetables are not just good for your sexual health but for your heart as well.

How Disabled People Overcome Their Disabilities For Better Sexual Health

Contrary to the opinion of mainstream society, people who suffer from disabilities are still able to enjoy pleasurable sexual experiences. For the most part these people can participate in sexual activity and take pleasure in the intimacy of having a partner. Participating in a healthy sexual relationship is a critical part of therapy do the disabled and helps them rebuild self confidence.

Even though there are those who believe that disabled people should not want to be sexually active, this is not factual because people with disabilities still long to be touched and loved just like a person who is totally healthy. It is vitally important to help educate the disabled with the information that can help them overcome their particular disability and enjoy a healthy sex life.

One of the big issues for the disabled is the concern of pregnancy. The decision to have children is a difficult one and requires much planning and forethought. Questions that need to be examined include, whether the disabilities are genetic and likely to be passed on to children, how pregnancy can affect the woman's health, how will the children be cared for and how will it affect the lives of the parents, and more. The best thing to do is have a consultation with a medical professional to discuss all of the ramifications involved before making a decision.

A woman with disabilities has many things to consider before making a choice to get pregnant and go through labor, delivery, and the life changing responsibility of raising children. She should be sure to take the time to go over every concern with her doctor and she also needs to be aware of all of the emotional changes that will happen during the entire process.

People who have disabilities are normal human beings and deserve the same respect that the general population gets and this includes the area of sexuality. It is wrong to look down upon them for wanting to enjoy a healthy sexual relationship like everyone else in society. If you have someone in your life that has a disability then you must know that the only way to shop that you are accepting and supportive of them is to totally believe in their right to find a partner and be married.

In addition you must also be supportive of their right to have children just like anyone else on earth. People with disabilities are entitled to the same access to sexual education materials as anyone else does and this will assist them to make the right decisions in regards to their sexual relationships.

A Closer Look At Yohimbe

2006-07-16T17:30-04:00

by Gregg Hall

As a bodybuilder I have probably tried just about every natural testosterone enhancing product available for enhancing muscle growth, the side effect of many of these products is enhanced sexual performance as well. There are also some side effects that are unwanted, such as heart palpitations and insomnia. In this article I want to look closer at Yohimbe.

Yohimbe has been used for years by bodybuilders for muscular enhancement but it has also been used as a sexual enhancement due to its inherent ability to produce erections, in fact it is probably the best product available for that.

Yohimbe is named for the bark of the Yohimbe tree but the actual active ingredient is an alkaloid called yohimbine which is responsible for the actual effects. You get the benefits of Yohimbe from eating a significant amount of the bark or from the prescription medicine named after yohimbine.

Unfortunately, the very qualities that make yohimbine such a strong supplement for sexual enhancement also contribute to its weaknesses. Yohimbine does not affect only the sexual and muscular systems of the body, the effects are systemic for the entire body resulting in irregular heartbeat and insomnia for as long as 30 hours after even using just a small amount of yohimbine making it worse for sleep than 20 cups of coffee.

Never happened to you? That's probably because the majority of Yohimbe supplements on the market today are comprised of tiny amounts of the yohimbine alkaloid and are therefore devoid of any benefits.

Authentic Yohimbe bark is acquired in large quantities by the pharmaceutical industry and is used to make prescription yohimbine tablets. The Yohimbe supplements sold in most health food stores contain almost no yohimbine.

Due to the popularity of the product the Yohimbe plants are becoming more and more rare and hard to find. The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that the harvesting of the bark kills the tree and it takes over 10 years for a tree to grow to harvesting size.

If you are looking for true yohimbine be sure that it is pharmaceutical grade.

Treating Prostate Enlargement With Saw Palmetto

2006-03-16T09:32-05:00

Did you know that after Proscar was approved by the FDA, that agency banned all nonprescription drugs for BPH? According to Varro Tyler, Ph.D., dean and professor emeritus of pharmacognosy (natural product pharmacy) at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, the ban was initiated for two reasons. First, the FDA purported that there was no credible evidence to show that any over the counter (OTC) products were effective in the treatment of BPH. Second, the agency also expressed a viewpoint that those who used OTCs might put off getting proper treatment while their disease worsened.

“What the FDA overlooked,” says Dr. Tyler, “was the considerable evidence in Western Europe that certain phytomedicinals (plant based medicines) are effective in treating BPH and that people using them experience an appreciable increase in their comfort level.

Perhaps the most popular of these is saw palmetto. The beneficial effects include increased urinary flow, reduced residual urine and decreased frequency of urination.”

Saw palmetto can be found in southeastern states. It is a small palm tree. The Seminole Indians ate the seeds as food. Who knows? Maybe they found it helped their urinary problems.

The reason it works is because it contains a compound that turns testosterone into dihydrotestosterone thus preventing the transformation of the testosterone. It is exactly the same way that Proscar works, but in a different way.

Half a dozen studies have proven saw palmetto as an effective treatment. In one of them, a clinical trial of more than 2000 German men with BPH received substantial easing of PBH symptoms after a daily does of one to two grams of saw palmetto seeds.

It is interesting to note, Science News reports, “30% of all American men have undiagnosed prostate cancer by age 60-but the incidence is only about 1% among Arctic Intuit men of the same age group.” It is believed that this is a result of a diet high in fish oil. This may be something to consider in your own diet.

How To Know If You Have Prostrate Problems

2006-03-10T10:06-05:00

Enlargement of the prostate is called benign prostate hypertrophy, or BPH. While this growth is usually considered a nuisance, if a man experiences problems with burning, or difficult urination at any time, the prudent course of action is consulting a urologist.

Other symptoms may be:

• A feeling of having to push out urine

• A sensation that the bladder is not emptying

• Increased urinating, especially at night

• Intermittent starting and stopping of the urinary stream

After a diagnosis of BPH, many men will just continue to live with the symptoms and subsequent discomfort. It is not a life threatening condition, and there are treatments. In some cases surgery might be considered if the enlargement is significant.

Ignoring BPH can be extremely dangerous and lead to other disease such as kidney infections or damage as the urine can back up into the kidneys because of the blockage of an enlarged prostate. There can also be an occurrence of bladder infections.

There is a huge difference between BPH and prostate cancer. BPH is a normal part of aging. Prostate cancer is a condition where prostate cells grow exponentially and out of control. These cells create tumors that may spread to any part of the body.

Numerous health organizations report that 1 in 6 men will experience prostate cancer. However, if the condition is diagnosed early, approximately 99.3% of them will survive. The key is early detection.

Prostate cancer can occur in any man, but there are certain “risk groups.” Younger African American men appear to have twice the risk and fatalities of Caucasians. Sadly, many are diagnosed before they reach the age of 50.

Another risk group is men who have a family history of prostate cancer, placing them in the same group who may contract the disease before the age of 50.

The only method to determine whether you are at risk for prostate cancer is diagnostic testing. The earlier you are screened the higher your chances of survival.

Prostate problems in many cases can be prevented or alleviated with health supplements.

Tongat Ali For Male Sexual Enhancement

2006-02-14T10:04-05:00

Tongat Ali is an herbal supplement that is used as a sexual stimulant. Never heard of it? Don’t feel bad you are in good company; it is still not widely known about.

Tongat Ali, like yohimbine is a plant based sexual stimulant and like the Yohimbe plant the Tongat Ali is becoming hard to find especially since it is now protected from harvest by law in Malaysia which is the original source of the Tongat Ali extract. The extract when taken in an optimum dosage greatly increases levels of free testosterone and enhances libido and sexual function far better than the aforementioned yohimbine.

Even though the Tongat Ali plant is protected in Malaysia herbal suppliers there have been aggressively marketing the product in the United States using scientific studies that boast of the testosterone enhancing properties of the product. Due to the increased demand and decreasing availability of the plant prices have skyrocketed and counterfeits have begun to appear and like yohimbe most of the Tongat Ali found on the market now are basically worthless with nowhere near the amount of active ingredient needed to be effective therefore if you want to be sure you are indeed getting a pure source have it shipped directly to you from Indonesia.

Customarily, Tongkat Ali has been a botanical found throughout Southeast Asia where In Vietnam it is regarded a cure for everything. In the sex-crazy country of Thailand, it has been used by men as a virility tonic for centuries. And in Malaysia, it has been harvested heavily primarily to be sold in the United States (apart from being used at home).

But Tongkat Ali, just like Yohimbe is a slow-growing shrub, and besides that, the active ingredient is found for the most part in the root. The root, which grows deep into poor hard soil, is very difficult to extract. Large holes must be dug to extract them and therefore in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, they have now started using the stems and branches of the shrub, instead of relying on the root. Just as there is nearly no yohimbine in the barks of pausinystalia species other than pausinystalia yohimbe, there are almost no active ingredients in tongkat ali stem and branches (the active ingredients are part of the root).

Fact is that almost all the Tongkat Ali that is brought into the U.S. is under dosed at a factor of up to 1000. For example, capsules may contain 50 milligram of root powder, when the therapeutic dosage would be the extract of 50 gram (50,000 milligram).

But on the northern tip of Sumatra (Aceh province of Indonesia) where the Tsunami occurred there still exist forests with a large areas of Tongkat Ali coverage. Tongkat ali from the Indonesia Aceh province can be purchased in wholesale and retail quantities from Sumatra Pasak Bumi.
