Staying healthy is crucial for
one's well-being but some parts of our body require more attention than others.
When it comes to guys, then keeping your penis in shape is one of the
priorities - for various reasons. Most of the guys will say that penis is their
most important organ (and who would blame them?), but it is also one of the
most sensitive parts of men's body. Every health issue you deal with will
directly and strongly affect your penis too. If you are 50 years old and you
have kept it safe and maintained, it will have the same sexual performance as it had
when you were 30. Inspecting your penis regularly, practicing good hygiene and
wearing the right kind of underwear are just some aspects of maintaining your
family jewels. However, there are some other actions you can take to keep it in
top shape.
Loose Alcohol
and Tobacco
A glass of wine may increase your
self-esteem and increase libido in men but anything above such a limit will affect your
penis. Alcohol will lower your erection power and if you continue drinking too
much, it might cause permanent impotence. Tobacco has similar effects because
smoking causes clogging of your blood vessels. If your blood can't flow to your
penis then it will not be able to reach erection. All surveys show that smokers
are twice more likely to have erectile dysfunction which should make you quit
this bad habit as soon as possible.
Stay Active
Sitting at home in front of TV or
PC is not a good solution for any aspect of your health. On the other hand,
exercising or even taking a regular walk every day will significantly improve
your general fitness. Regular exercising will increase your blood flow which
will unclog any stuffed vessels thus improving your erection.
Eat More Fish -
But Not All
Fish is generally rich in omega-3
fatty acids that are quite beneficial for your penis but also for your heart.
However, some fish species also contain various toxins that may harm your
sperm. For example, dioxins that are found in some species could lower your
testosterone. Most of these harmful elements are found in big species or those
that are farmed in fishponds. Therefore, it would be wise to avoid fish like
farmed salmon, large bluefish, and striped bass. On the other hand, species
such as wild salmon, sea bass, or skipjack tuna should be a part of your
regular menu.
Minimize Stress
and Try to Sleep Well
Stress is harmful to every part of
your body and mind and it also has vast negative effects on your sexual health.
A stressed organism starts to release higher levels of a hormone called
adrenaline. The first effect of adrenaline is narrowing of your blood vessels
which will reduce your erection. Sleeping makes your organism rejuvenated and
fresh, plus it increases natural shields and defenses that are crucial for your
general health condition. If you are exhausted, your penis will know it and it
will not perform well. That is why you need to make sure you sleep like a baby.
Keep It Busy
The best way of preserving your
penis in form is to exercise regularly. This means you should use it as often
as you can, so it would not get rusty. Surveys really show that men who are
sexually active have fewer problems with erectile dysfunction as they get
older. Hence, be sure to find an appropriate partner that will keep you healthy
and happy.
