I write this from a professional nutrition view,with a high essence of honesty and concern. Recently, I have seen so many relationships and marriages suffer from the reduced sexual drive in men today.
Its
the time after the bachelors party and he is excited that he has kissed
dating good bye and can now settle down and enjoy marriage. Some few
years into the marriage he feels worn out already and as the lay man
says he is blank of the drive for sex.
Sex by
design was handcrafted by God and within the world He would like it to
be enjoyed during marriage and marriage alone...This means that it
should be somewhat sustainable to have a fulfilling marriage.
A
look in the market today one would get the impression of exactly what
the value of sex has become to many. So many remedies that surround the
value of sex in a manner to improve the libido of either the men or the
woman. This is a subject that is all too well known by many as a therapy
that requires the consultation of a doctor or a therapist who is well
versed with the sex subjects. Many of the marriages today have seen men
left out of the league towards their sperm count. Let’s be very real
with each other men, it is no longer a complication of the women but
rather a problem that you need to address. Do not ignore it it is a
crucial subject that you can reverse for better.
Loss of libido also makes men more unhappy about the rest of their lives than it does women.when men lose interest in sex it scares them more than women -- their masculinity is so linked to their sexuality that it is very threatening.Testosterone is an essential hormone found in both sexes, but it is primarily a male hormone. It is not only responsible for sexual appetite, but also improves skin and bone health. For males, testosterone drops after the age of 30. In today's Kenyan men the testosterone levels drop as early as the age of 25.
Lets face it, its no longer the fault of the woman that she does not get pregnant....as a nutritionist i would like to give a few tips on how to maintain the sexual drive from the time you get engaged through to your marriage.
To increase the level of testosterone in the body you need to improve on the intake of some foods whether a bachelor or when married. Remember, testosterone is valuable component of digestion in the man's body. If the man has depleted levels then he excessively adds on weight. In the marriage, he utilizes the testosterone in larger amounts than before. Through sex and also needs it for digestion. So once it gets too depleted, it has to be replaced somehow! Not with drugs I say, but check out these foods.
Pumpkin and Watermelon seeds
These have a high component of zinc which if incorporated consistently in meals improves the digestion through increase of production of testosterone hormone due to their zinc specialty. If you feel eating them upfront is difficult, they can be incorporated into pudding as for watermelon seeds and into soups for the pumpkins.
Beans
Surprisingly, beans have got a certain capacity of zinc that improves the levels of testosterone.Unfortunately for m,en some of them do not like consuming the beans. If not you could try pumpkin seeds. Eat pumpkin seeds, the very best dietary source of wholly natural zinc. Don't consume fresh seeds obtained from hollowing out a whole pumpkin though, as aside from the fact that this is expensive and inconvenient to do, dry seeds taste far more palatable. Buy packs of dried pumpkin seeds from specialist health food stores.
Bananas
Bananas contain the bromelain enzyme, which is believed to increase libido and reverse impotence in men. Additionally, they are good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body's overall energy levels.
Avocado
avocados indeed contain high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolize proteins, thus giving you more energy. They also contain vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman's thyroid gland), two elements that help increase libido in both men and women.
Eggs
Although they should be eaten sparingly,they contain vitamin B6 and B5. These help balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are crucial to a healthy libido. Eggs are also a symbol of fertility and rebirth. Some people will eat raw chicken eggs just prior to sex to increase libido and maximize energy levels. But all bird and fish eggs contain B6 and B5. Whenever you eat eggs always remove the yolk and eat the egg white to ensure that you lower down the levels of cholesterol.
Garlic
Yes, you might need to stock up on some extra breath mints, but it'll be worth it. Garlic contains allicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs. As such, it's a highly effective herb to help increase libido. If the odor just won't work for you -- or you can't stand garlic try eating it in food.
Liver
A good source of glut-amine -- a cellular fuel for your immune system -- liver may indeed increase a slowed-down libido.
These are just some few of my thoughts of which you can feel free to comment.
