How to Keep Your Penis Healthy

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.
