Rejuvenating Sex And Health Naturally
Our physical and psychological makeup is influenced by the
sexual imperative far more than most of us realize or wish to
admit. Entire systems of psychoanalytical therapy (e.g. Freud)
are based upon the premise that we are primarily sexual
creatures. Behaviorally, there is little doubt that there are
dramatic differences between the sexes. This can be seen even in
the earliest of years. (This is so in spite of vigilant efforts
by "rights" groups to blur distinctions and to declare sexual
equality by legal fiat.) Girls with dolls and boys with trucks
and guns manifest with no coaching from parents, and reflect the
natural nurturing tendencies of girls versus the more aggressive
and protecting inclination of boys. Physically the primary and
secondary sexual characteristics are obviously different. These
features, in fact, attract the opposite sex and prepare each sex
for reproduction, caregiving and protection for the young.
But sex is not just about recreation or procreation. It can
directly impact health. For example, the risk of breast cancer
is directly linked to childbearing and nursing in women - having
children and nursing them for extended periods of time decreases
the number of ovulations a woman has and thus decreases the
pro-cancerous estrogen surges. Other research has demonstrated
that fulfilling sexual activity in women is also linked to
health. A man's sense of strength, perception of attractiveness
to women, feelings of being loved and depended upon, financial
success, respect, and feeling accepted are all intricately tied
to sexuality. Male sexual self-worth goes hand-in-hand with
physical and mental health. Who primarily commits violent crime
in society? Is it not young men in the heyday of their
testosterone surge? Sexuality and health at their peak create
the potential for either great accomplishment or great harm
depending upon how these energies are focused.
On the other hand, when male hormone levels start to ebb in
later years, health decline parallels this downturn. Men
experience loss of muscle mass, lowered energy levels, decreased
immunity, increased susceptibility to a variety of degenerative
diseases, decreased libido and fertility, and various degrees of
impotence. Sensing this decline, men can feel hopeless,
worthless and at the end of life. Such feelings further fuel the
downward health spiral often resulting in an early death. The
importance of sexuality in men is evidenced by polls showing
that men would sooner risk serious life-threatening side effects
than forego the possibility that a new drug (e.g. Viagra™) might
rejuvenate them sexually. Being sexually alive even in the very
oldest of men may be as important as life itself.
Although male hormone levels decrease with age, the slope of the
curve can be dramatically altered. It will not, however, be just
a matter of taking a pill. Supplemental male hormones are
available but their use disrupts the body's natural balances and
can cause negative feedback inhibition. When this occurs,
exogenous hormones (pills) send a signal to hormone-producing
tissues that hormone levels are high
enough. Endogenous (from
the body itself) production therefore slows. Over time this can
weaken hormone-producing tissues so that the initial problem of
inadequate production is compounded. This is at least part of
the mechanism for the adverse effects of anabolic (male
hormone-like) steroids taken by athletes and bodybuilders. Young
men eager to exaggerate muscularity end up with withered and
weakened testicles and other endocrine glands setting them up
for serious diseases as they get older.
A better alternative is to make healthy lifestyle changes
(suggested in the Optimal Health Program™
http://www.wysong.net/optimal_health_page1.shtml) combined with
natural nutritional supplementation, which has been proven to
provide benefit to many.
Androgenic phytonutrients from herbs (such as Tribulus
terrestris, Muira puama, Avena sativa and nettle leaf), amino
acids (including L-arginine) and certain foods such as melons
naturally increase testosterone production without the danger of
negative feedback inhibition as experienced with anabolic
steroids and other hormones. Increased testosterone levels, in
turn, increase libido, act as an aphrodisiac and help prevent
impotence. (In fact, modern research has revealed that
testosterone is the only substance capable of generating libido
in both men and women.)
Recent studies suggest that these phytonutrients also affect
brain chemicals such that potency and erectile capacity are
improved and male reproductive system growth, function, and
repair is enhanced.
Phytonutrients can also improve sexual function through
inhibiting the binding of sex hormone-binding globulin to its
receptor site on prostatic membranes. This provides relief to
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) sufferers who often
experience painful intercourse, a certain impediment to
sexuality.
Other nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B12 and vitamin C directly
stimulate sperm production and motility and thus increase
fertility. Modern, processed, food fraction-based dietary fare
can be woefully deficient in these nutrients. Selecting good
supplements and converting the diet to more natural, fresh and
varied foods is the solution.
Lifestyle changes (outlined in the Optimal Health Program™
http://www.wysong.net/optimal_health_page1.shtml) - not the
least of which is maintaining healthy body weight and regularly
exercising - when combined with proper nutrition can rejuvenate
the entire body and with that send a signal to the sexual core
of our biological being that we are alive and well. Such signals
stimulate a natural invigoration of sexuality, and with that
mental and physical health.
