Impotence is one of the male sexual dysfunction diseases, which is a relatively common disease among men. Impotence has brought great difficulties to men's lives and families. Do you know that obesity and impotence are also closely related, and what is the relationship between obesity and impotence?
The relationship between obesity and impotence
A study conducted by Harvard University's School of Public Health has found that overweight people are more likely to suffer from impotence than slender people. They studied a total of 2000 obese young and middle-aged men, one third of whom were suffering from varying degrees of impotence. Among these people, those with a waist circumference of 42 inches were twice as likely to suffer from impotence as those with a waist circumference of 32 inches, which is sufficient to indicate that the occurrence of impotence is related to obesity.
Obese men often have dyslipidemia, which leads to high cholesterol and triglyceridemia. These diseases themselves can cause metabolic disorders in the body. As fat increases, male hormones are more likely to be converted into estrogen, and the concentration in the blood can double, resulting in a relative or absolute decrease in male hormones, which can lead to problems such as decreased libido and reduced erectile function in men, leading to impotence.
So, how can obese men prevent impotence?
Weight loss: Obese men need to undergo appropriate weight loss to benefit their health and sexual ability. Men need to reduce their intake of foods that are too high in calories or fat. They can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and must promote a reasonable diet.
Strengthen physical training: Generally, the greater the amount of exercise, the longer the exercise time, and the more sugar and fat consumed. Suitable sports include swimming, jogging, doing aerobics, dancing, and so on.
Pay attention to dietary habits: Men should pay more attention to their body shape. They should maintain good dietary habits and avoid excessive nutrition in normal times, which can largely avoid the worry of obesity and better protect their health and sexual function.
