How sugar is killing your sex life




 “Men with blood sugar imbalances have trouble
getting or maintaining erections”, says Mark Hyman, MD. Research has even shown
that sugar is a major cause of erectile dysfunction, mostly in diabetic men.



“A sugar high is short
term and not sustainable”, says Dewayne Riggins, an elite trainer, mixed
martial artist, and fitness instructor. Riggins suggests that one stick to “a
well-balanced diet throughout the day with vegetables, proteins, and good fats,
which will maintain a consistent level of energy for our body. Avoid high-sugar,
hard-to-digest food like candy and dried fruits.”



Sugar seriously hinders your libido



Leptin, is a hormone that
tells your body when to stop eating and also to monitor sexual behavior. Sugar creates
leptin resistance in t
he body which in turn leads to a decrease in sex
drive. 



Sugar affects the level
of testosterone in men. Decreased testosterone levels will directly impact your
libido



Sugar leads to stress, which doesn’t help.



Sugar intake is one of
the classic trigger of cortisol release. Cortisol is a stress hormone. Elevated
level of cortisol in the body leads to feeling of being ‘stressed out’ and will
decrease your sex drive.



Therefore, high level of
sugar consumption (sugary foods or drinks) is directly proportional to low
level of libido. Hence, you might want to consider cutting down you daily sugar
consumption as a man.



Something
very interesting to note:
each meal of the day
should be balanced and evenly spaced throughout the day in order to maintain a
consistent energy level. “Removing or reducing sugar intake will allow u to
feel balanced throughout the day and will remove the chemical reactions in your
body which result in decreased testosterone and increased stress,” says
Riggins.



Too much sugar can cause
type 2 diabetes



Type 2 diabetes can cause
some serious problems in the bedroom. This happen because high blood sugar
level causes damage to the nerves and blood vessels, decreasing sensitivity and
making it more difficult for a man to get or maintain an erection.



Note:
type 2 diabetes may also affect women’s sexual function too much because the
damage it causes to the blood vessels can affect blood supply to the vagina and
clitoris, causing vaginal dryness and reduced arousal along with nerve
damage. Both can affect sensitivity, meaning reduced pleasure and difficulty
reaching orgasm.



 



How
to manage your sugar intake and boost your sex life.



A healthy diet is the key
to managing your blood sugar, weather you have type 2 diabetes, or simply think
you could be eating too much sugar or refined foods.



1.     
Ditch processed foods: Most processed foods contains carbohydrates or added sugars that
can quickly spike your blood sugar level. Such foods include; white breads,
pastries, sugary breakfast cereals etc. move towards whole grains, vegetables
and whole fruits.



2.     
Cut back on sugary treats



3.     
Eat more vegetables: aim for low-starch
vegetables such as green vegetables or salad vegetables. Their fibers helps you
to keep fuller for long and balance out your blood sugar level.



4.     
Reduce your alcohol intake: alcohol can
play havoc with your blood sugar too. Long term drinking can encourage both weight
gain and insulin resistance, increasing the risk for diabetes.



5.     
Read food labels well before buy or consuming
them.



As a man, is sugar really
worth it to you? Do you want to have less sex because you love sugar? Choose your
priorities.
