Weight Loss Can Boost Your Libido

If you have lost your mojo, replacing certain foods in your diet and dropping a few pounds can increase your libido therefore not needing to take Viagra according to a new study.

The risks associated with obesity are widely known, and adult-onset diabetes is the largest risk associated with it. But did you know that the disease can cause male impotence? It's true. According to The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, nerve damage or reduced blood flow puts male diabetics at risk for sexual problems and bladder issues some 10 to 15 years sooner than their healthy counterparts. In fact, as many as 75 percent of men with diabetes suffer from such problems, and most of the time, the symptoms go undiagnosed. 

A recent study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine points to some good news: Losing just 5 percent of body weight can improve erectile function and enhance sexual desire in obese men with Type 2 diabetes. Only a small number of men were studied, but the results were remarkably consistent across the board. Whether they lost 5 or 10 percent of their original body weight, the subjects showed increased testosterone levels and better erections for as long as they maintained their weight loss. 

So how do I lose the weight without taking Xenical I hear you saying, well I will list a few easy pointers to guide you in the right direction to losing that midriff.

Limit Tran’s fats

A little fat won't hurt you, unless its Tran’s fat. According to a Harvard University study in the US, you could cut your risk of a heart attack in half by eating just 4g less of Tran’s fat each day.

Swap to Olive Oil

It's one of the richest sources of oleic acid and everyone should have a bottle of olive oil in their kitchen to cook with, instead of butter, margarine & Vegetable oil. Olive oil also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that will strengthen your immune system and may lower high blood pressure.

Eat Porridge

Pretty simple this one, just eat it at least twice a week and it's full of B vitamins. Studies have also shown that adding a spoonful of antioxidant-packed honey will improve spatial memory, according to studies by the University of Waikato, New Zealand.

Stock up on Fish

Try and eat fish as much as possible especially Sea Bass which tend to be very low in fat, so are an excellent choice for people who are trying to lose weight

Eat your greens

What ever your favourite vegetables maybe add them to your meals, meaning you will be eating more food but fewer calories especially if you swap them for chips.

Exercise

Exercise is a must for weight loss even if it is just 15mins per day. Try and work out as hard as you can for those 15mins and within a month you should notice some toning.

Follow these guidelines and within 2-3 months noticeable weight loss and toning should be showing, and not only that your erectile problems may have gone altogether.

  1. Some doctors recommend estrogen supplements for some women who have problems with their libido. In these cases, the imbalance of estrogen causes the body to fall out of alignment, and some systems (including sexual), the systems suffer. If this applies to you, it is not uncommon, the weight begins to rise slightly
