Sometimes it takes a look back at the wisdom of the ages to get a clear perspective on a current issue. Socrates is often quoted as saying
Bad men live that they may eat and drink.
Good men eat and drink that they may live.
It’s hard to know now why he said what he said, to whom he was addressing his words of wisdom, and why he thought they needed to hear it.
But, boy if that doesn’t sum it up when you want a great love life.
Leave to an ancient philosopher to give us words we can use today.
Especially when it comes to having the energy and the ability to continue having a satisfying love life all life long.
What you eat and drink, the habits of every day living are the single most important causative factor in a variety of sexual difficulties…including ED.
It’s not just the food that goes in, it’s how much and what kind that counts.
Obesity is a national epidemic and a national disgrace. More people are overweight and obese today in America than at any other time in our history.
We’ve become so addicted and accustomed to pre-prepared food, food banks are finding much of what they offer is going to waste because the recipients don’t know how to cook.
A friend and her daughter are cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the whole clan of in-laws because their idea of holiday meals is going to the deli for turkey slices, cartons of gravy, and salads. None of them know how to cook a turkey, much less carve one up.
In another family I know, the young men (in their mid/late twenties) will only eat fast food. A 64 oz soda (not diet), and some version of super sized burgers, with tons of fries loaded with salt are their primary food at least twice a day. ( Don’t need to tell you all of them are extremely obese, have high blood pressure…and, no, I didn’t ask about their love lives. The sad news is, they will rue the day when they get older and no longer can get it up from all the arterial damage from their dreadful diet.
(I am on a rant here…can you tell?)
Okay, enough already. We know they will all have trouble with their love lives…it is hard to be obese, or malnourished and be able to get an erection, have the flexibility to find a satisfying position, or the stamina to stay the course.
Not to mention what they are doing to themselves in ways that won’t be visible until they are all our ages.
What we do know….even little changes in what you eat and how much you exercise will make a huge difference in your weight, your well being, but also your libido and your agility and interest when your honey says some version of “tonight’s the night.”
And, those changes will be effective no matter how old you are when you clean up your act. For men as well as women.
So, get to it!
