Caring for your sexual health in your 30’s

Men in their 20’s are fat burners and have very fast metabolic rates as they can guzzle down loads of beer, and deep-fried stuff and yet appear to be fit and good in bed. How can this not be possible in your 30’s? Because you have hit your 30’s and there is a lot of difference in the peak you had in your previous ages. Understanding this change is quite critical as what you do during these changes affects your overall sexual health. 

Male menopause also known as andropause starts hitting individuals as early as 35 and in this, there is a drop in the libido and even can cause erectile dysfunctions. How do you avoid this?

Here is what you can do on a regular basis to keep yourself fit at all times so you can be fit when it matters the most!

• Check your family medical history

• Check your testosterone levels proactively

• Eliminate artificial sweeteners

• Keep a check on your alcohol consumption 

• Dump the junk and add more veggies to the palate

• Get  a lot of sleep

• Check your family medical history – Family history is an important determinant to understanding the faults in one’s genetic DNA. It matters even though you and your family must be living a different lifestyle or living in a different environment, but as they say, it is all in the genes. You can still lead a healthy sex life if you are active and fit at times available to you 

• Check your testosterone levels proactively – Declining levels of testosterone bring a lot of problems such as hair loss, decreased sex drive, depression and memory levels which is again a vicious cycle. To avoid this, include meat, fish, cheese and yoghurt and also don’t forget to include the Sun as your friend as well!

•  Eliminate artificial sweeteners - Sugar may not be our strongest friend but it is our strongest foe for it all does other than lessen sweetness in our morning tea/coffee/diet soda but also increases the risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

•  Keep a check on your alcohol consumption – It is okay if you gulp down a drink or two of red wine daily, but if it is more than that, then you can say goodbye to hot love-making sessions as excessive drinking can not only destroy your liver and your gut and so on but also impair your libido. The key here is just moderation.

• Get a lot of sleep – A minimum of 6 hours of sleep is your good friend all the time as it helps your brain health, manages your stress levels and most important male hormone production which helps you in a healthy libido to satiate your partner. Men who sleep lesser than 6 hours have an increased risk of stroke and heart disease which is again a bye-bye to hot make-out sessions/love-making sessions.

So men, take care of your body while you can, or you can just dream of love sessions because you didn’t take care of yourself while you could.
