New Delhi, June 7 A man's sexual health, like any other subset of health, is linked to a whole variety of good lifestyle choices. Narratives of these subsets often create the illusion that one part can be improved, without overall improvement in these choices, an outcome of the unfortunate perception of the body as the sum of independent parts, as opposed to being one holistic system.
Suhas Misra, CEO of Misters.in, shares path at home to better sexual health involves some classic choices that go with a healthy lifestyle.
Sound Sleep and Regular Exercise
Data at Misters reveals that 31.7 per cent of people who have good sleep regularly more than seven hours have high erection confidence, while only 18 per cent of people who sleep less than five hours a night have similar confidence about their erection. Similarly 19.5 per cent of men who do not exercise regularly report ideal ejaculation experiencein terms of duration of intercoursewhile 27 per cent of people who get some exercise report a similar experience, there is sufficient clinical research that establishes the causation implied here.
Therefore the ideal steps to take towards better sexual health for men are steps that are good for their overall health. The general advice, 'sleep well, and get some exercise regularly', seems to hold true for sexual health as well. Interestingly, getting some exercise itself is likely to improve the quality of sleep, so that might be the best first step. Other ways to improve sleep include eating dinner early, and cutting down on caffeineso limiting tea, coffee or soft drink consumption.
Ayurveda is the Key to Better Sexual Health
This is one reason why Ashwagandha is often suggested for better sexual health in Ayurveda. Given its clinically studied action to reduce stress, it helps with the quality of sleep, and is probably a great addition to your daily routine. While it is not part of a regular diet, there are some great OTC formulations like Ashwagandha Pro that can be consumed regularly for both direct and indirect improvements in sexual health.
Lack of sleep, and a greater need for sleep to function well, is also often caused by a drop in free testosterone, the male hormone. It has been established that testosterone peaks in men in early adulthood, and starts declining at the rate of 1 per cent a year from around age 40. Testosterone also has a direct impact on sexual function, with very low levels being associated with a drop in libido, reduction in number of morning erections, and other such challenges which include seventeen signs of male ageing
