After reaching middle age, men are prone to a decline in sexual ability, which requires attention. One of the best ways to improve sexual ability is through diet. Here, let's take a look at what middle-aged men can eat to improve their sexual ability and libido.
High quality protein:
It contains amino acids (such as arginine) involved in the formation of germ cell, mainly from eggs, milk, fish, lean meat and other foods.
Dietary cholesterol:
To some extent, it is involved in the composition of sex hormones, mainly from animal organs (such as dog kidneys, bullwhip, chicken liver, sheep kidneys, etc.) and egg yolk.
Dietary fats:
Along with consuming the cholesterol rich foods mentioned above, it is also possible to consume a large amount of fat, which contains essential fatty acids required for sperm production. Long term vegetarians may affect the conversion of sex hormones, cause a decrease in libido, and affect sperm production.
Some trace elements and minerals:
Such as iron, zinc, calcium, etc. Severe zinc deficiency can lead to immature sexual organ development, reduced sperm count, increased deformity rate, decreased libido, and even infertility. Oysters, animal offal, lean meat, milk, and other foods are good sources of zinc.
Partial vitamins:
Vitamin A and vitamin E both have the effect of delaying sexual dysfunction, and vitamin E is beneficial for sperm production and improving sperm motility. Vitamin A mainly comes from animal liver, as well as carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes; Vitamin E mainly comes from egg yolks, beans, sesame seeds, peanuts and vegetable oils.
What men eat to increase their libido
Chives:
Also known as Yangcao, Zhuangyang Grass, and Changsheng Chives, it is a common vegetable with strong growth ability. It is an excellent adjunctive dietary therapy for kidney deficiency, impotence, and nocturnal ejaculation. It has good therapeutic effects on male erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and other diseases.
Scallions:
Scallions have always been seen as the embodiment of love and sexuality. Scallions are very nutritious and can stimulate sexual desire in a benign way. Research has shown that the enzymes and various vitamins in scallions can ensure the normal secretion of hormones in the human body, thereby strengthening yang and nourishing yin.
Honey:
Honey contains gonad endocrine, which has obvious biological activity of active gonad. Those who have decreased sexual function due to physical weakness and advanced age can continue to take honey products.
It is also important for middle-aged men to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude in their daily lives.
