The Chief Executive Officer, Natural Healing Alternatives, Dr. Leye Popoola has revealed that the type of food eating by men and their health status can play a major role in their masculinity and reproductive ability.
Popoola said a man’s strength of sexuality is influenced directly or indirectly by the type of food eaten, hence the need to eat food containing muscle and blood building nutrients.
According to him, this type of food will not only give energy, but will as well enrich the heart, which has a direct impact on the ability of a man to have erections.
“Research has shown that the same eating patterns that can cause heart attacks due to restricted blood flow in the coronary arteries can also impede blood flow to and within the male sexual organ.
“The blood flow is needed for it to become erect. Diets that include very few fruits and vegetables with lots of fatty, fried, and processed foods can contribute to decreased blood circulation throughout the body. Anything that is bad for a man’s heart is also bad for his genital organ,” he stressed.
Popoola therefore advised men who are experiencing weak erection to watch what they eat as this may be the cause, especially, men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) popularly known as impotence.
He said his personal study and researches have pointed to the fact that the lifestyle and food habit of most people complaining of ED often predisposes them to the health issue.
According to him, abstaining from denatured or devalued food like bread will be a step in the right direction.
“They should abstain from smoking and taking of alcohol,” he said.
He added that “it is alarming the rate at which men suffering from ED go for orthodox drugs as respite without even taking account of the fact that it may be caused by their lifestyle, food habit or even stress. These are issues they should even first address, which may be the underlying factors.”
He said there was need to understand how a man’s body is composed in order to understand ED and the way out.
“Even headache, cough or high blood pressure can affect sexual relationship. If a man is stressed up; experiences sleeplessness or eat too much fatty foods that clog the blood stream, then the person is most likely to have ED.
“In fact, impotence is an early warning sign that cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be looming. ED caused by narrowed arteries commonly develops years before any symptoms or problems of CVD, hypertension or diabetes become apparent,” he said.
According to him, ED is sexual dysfunction occasioned by the inability to develop or maintain erection of men genital organ during sexual activity.
He said most homes have been broken because of this health issue, which he described as one of the ingredients of a flourishing marriage.
“Some drugs have side effects, especially hypertensive drugs, which can reduce men’s libido. This is why some men would experience lack of erection.”
On other health issues that may prevent erection during sexual intercourse, Popoola said diabetics, may experience impotence or have problem sustaining an erection.
“Diabetes affects blood circulation to the extremities of the body, such as the tips of the fingers, toes and male organ. Most impotent people often have a very high blood sugar level,” he said.
He also explained that people with heart conditions are at risk of having ED. This, according to him was possible because the heart needs to pump blood to every part of the body effectively for the various organs to be at optimal level – the male sexual organ inclusive.
“When the heart cannot perform its functions effectively, there would be problems with other parts of the body,” he said.
He added that Parkison Disease, smoking and drinking can also increase probability of having ED dysfunction.
Dr Popoola warned that people should consult health practitioners to handle their ED challenges, rather than buying over the counter (OTC) preparations or aphrodisiacs that litter the markets.
“People who have ED, should let their health providers prescribe necessary medicine for them because many have died as a of result drug misuse to aid their sexual performance. dangerous,” he added.
