Good health may not only save your life, but it may save your love life as well. To bolster both, health experts advise following these 6 steps:
1. Get physical The first thing to do is to see a doctor for a complete checkup. our examination should include a heart scan and tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), diabetes and hypertension--ailments that can affect your well? being.The physical ramifications of an undetected STD range from chronic discomfort to sterilization or death. But hypertension and diabetes can cause havoc in other ways. Hypertension causes the blood vessels that go into the prostate to have a decreased blood flow because of the plaque that has built on the blood vessels. This plaque will cause an obstruction that interferes with the man''''s ability to get an rection.Diabetes can have an adverse neurological effect. Young men between the ages of 15- 35 should be screened for testicular cancer (the so? called “ young man''''s cancer"), and men 40 and older should investigate the condition of their prostate.As a preventive measure, women should request regular breast examinations and pap smears.It is important to fully disclose to your doctor any other health concerns that you may have.
2. Exercise regularly A good way to kick? start your life is with some cardiovascular exercises.The Harvard School of Public Health reports that men who were physically inactive were 40 percent more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than men who exercised a half? hour a day. There''''s even more incentive to exercising -- not only will working out make you look and feel better, it will also increase your stamina and level of control.
3. Do stress and relax, The physical effects of long? term stress include colds, ulcers, asthma, heart attack, stroke,and chronic fatigue--all ailments that can erode your health and your love life. Couples can de? stress together at the end of the day in more romantic ways, such as enjoying a lathery bubble bath for two, complete with scented candles and a mug of warm milk and honey. Or just watch a movie together. The goals are to spend quality time together and put you on the path to total relaxation. More adventurous types can create their own stressbusters,perhaps by trying sailing,bike riding,walking marathons or roller? blading. The world is yours!
4. Beat the clock Menopausal women should seek hormone? replacement therapy. Meno pause occurs when the ovaries gradually lose the ability to produce estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that govern the menstrual cycle. The symptoms associated with “ the big M" range from uncomfortable to unhealthy-- night sweats, hot flashes, painful sex and loss of libido. The hormone estrogen has been proven to protect women from cardio vascular disease and osteoporosis. It may be a good idea to treat your menopausal symptoms with hormone? replacement therapy and a proper diet. See your physician to determine the best treatment plan for you.
5. Eat to live and love The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that adults eat a healthy breakfast, drink 100 percent fruit juice and load their diets with fruits and vegetables. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture have found that the mineral boron is vital for hormone production and sexual function. Boron can be found in dark green leafy vegetables, fruits (not citrus),nuts and legumes. For a romantic twist,the caring couple can prepare their nutritious meals together; not only will you boost your energy,but for many,the act of food preparation itself can be a bonding experience.You can kick it up a notch by using aphrodisiac spices like clove,vanilla,ginger and saffron in your dishes.
6. Get enough sleep It''''s scientific fact: Bodies at play need eight hours of sleep to feel at rest. Getting adequate sleep is essential to maintaining good health and reducing stress. Couples who experience difficulty sleeping have several options: Redecorate the bedroom to suit both of you comfortably; stock your nightstand with good reading materials; and, if possible, exercise and eat dinner a little earlier in the evening. Nighttime teas and the herb valerian also have been shown to aid sleep. If you experience insomnia (inability to fall asleep), see a sleep specialist.
