How To Maintain Your Sexual Health

Several vitamins and minerals support sexual well-being. Zinc is one of the most important nutritional nutrients for men, in particular. The mineral is present in huge amounts in oysters, but eggs, nuts and red meat also contain 

impressive amounts of this vital male mineral. Magnesium is a powerful supporter of free testosterone levels, which enable sexual interest and energy. Getting plenty of protein and fat is also important for sexual health as both are necessary for dopamine and testosterone production.

Men can enhance their sexual health by taking certain supplements. Several substances improve total testosterone, free testosterone or both. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid effective for increasing testosterone and enhancing sex drive. Cordyceps, tongkat ali and tribulus terrestris are three natural supplements valuable for sexual health. Cordyceps works by reducing the effect of stress, improving blood flow and stimulating testosterone production. Tongkat ali supports free testosterone levels, and tribulus terrestris stimulates production of testosterone.

All exercise increases testosterone production and sexual interest, but strength training is the most effective by far. Aerobic training, such as running and walking, improves blood flow to all parts of the body but can reduce testosterone when performed in excess. With regular exercise, men can also deepen their sleep, resulting in better daily testosterone production and sex drive. 

Men should use these strategies together to see the best results. For example, a healthy diet will improve results of exercise. While the above items are all healthy additions to a man's lifestyle, men should experiment with different types and amounts of supplements, exercise and testosterone-boosting foods to determine what works best for their own bodies.
