Looking for a natural sex boost, gentlemen? Skip the pills and head straight for the fruit section at your local grocery store, because according to THE HUFFINGTON POST, watermelon is the new Viagra. In watermelons, these include lycopene, beta carotene and the rising star among its phyto-nutrients – citrulline – whose beneficial functions are now being unraveled. Among them is the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does. Scientists know that when watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted to arginine through certain enzymes. Arginine is an amino acid that works wonders on the heart and circulation system and maintains a good immune system, Patil said. “The citrulline-arginine relationship helps heart health, the immune system and may prove to be very helpful for those who suffer from obesity and type 2 diabetes,” said Patil. “Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.” While there are many psychological and physiological problems that can cause impotence, extra nitric oxide could help those who need increased blood flow, which would also help treat angina, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems. “Watermelon may not be as organ specific as Viagra,” Patil said, “but it’s a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side-effects.” I’ve also read that blueberries contain a lot of the same health benefits as watermelon because of the amount of antioxidants that come packed in the fruit. It’s recommended to pop a handful of blueberries a day to keep your ticker running strong and your Johnson pointing north.

A recent article in the Salt Lake Tribune cited a publishing in the American Journal of Medicine that calculated more than 18 million American men over age 20 are affected by erectile dysfunction. One common link to ED? Poor eating and not enough exercise:
Within that same article, it notes how men tend to put things off. Maybe hearing about potential sexual issues will start waking some of us up to a healthier lifestyle. I don’t know about anybody else, but having sexual problems down the road is nothing I want to contend with. If eating right and weekly exercise will keep my heart ticking and sexual life active, I’m game.

When Viagra hit the scene it was like a miracle drug for men suffering from erectile disfunction. Men who were uable to achieve or maintain an erection due to medical issues were now able to due so. This tiny little blue pill not only gives many men their sex life back, it consequently boosts their self esteem. One of the biggest complaints men have, however, is that sex cannot be spontaneous. Sex must coincide with taking a pill. Well, a new treatment is on the horizon that unlike lasting for several hours like Viagra, will last for months. This is the biggest attraction of the drug, you only need 2 injections a year. Lead researcher Arnold Melman says the initial research proves that this is a safe and effective treatment for male impotence. newsmax.com’s Health Alert 12/14/06 |

A study published in the British Medical Journal (1997 Dec.) examined the relationship between frequency of orgasm and mortality. 918 men between the ages of 45 and 59 at the time of recruitment were involved in this cohort study with a ten year follow-up. Researchers found the mortality risk was 50% lower in men with high frequency of orgasm than in men with low frequency. There was evidence of a dose related response. This inverse relationship between orgasm and mortality has been seen n several other studies. One thing is for sure, there is no risk of overdose for men or women. Although men can injure themselves having too much sex, especially if they use drugs like viagra. This and similar erectile disfunction drugs allow men to have more staying power during sexual sessions. This in itself is a double edged sword. Although better staying power is always desirable, having too frequent, or having erections that las too long can result in permanent damage to your johnson. |

One problem that more and more Americans are facing is an over abundance of phytoestrogens in our food supply. Look at all the food labels for the foods you purchase, there is almost always some type of soy product contained in them. Some of the various soy products contained in foods include: soy oil, soy protein, and soy lecithin. Buddhist monks have been using soy for almost 2,000 years to lower their libido and help abstain from sex to aid in becoming more spiritual. Many recent studies substantiate the more soy consumed, the lower the testosterone levels go. And to top it off, many of the products we use are packaged in plastic containers which also supply us with “ecoestrogens,” which mimic hormonal estrogen when consumed by humans. Unfortunately, these estrogen-like substances have other deleterious effects outside of taking the wood out of your willy. |
