Daily Habits Causing Erectile Dysfunction : 5 Lifestyle Factors Leading to Impotence

5 Daily Habits That Could Secretly Be Causing Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction Are Your Daily Habits Destroying Your Potency?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a well recognized condition that is characterized by millions of men in the world. Even though generally people mention their age, underlying medical issues and psychological causes as possible causes, those few who do not neglect their daily habits have no idea that they influence their sexual life significantly too.

1. Bad food and Obesity

Your diet affects your cardiovascular health and it is closely connected with erectile function. Foods loaded with trans, and saturated fats, processed foods, and excessive sugar consumption can be the cause of atherosclerosis, or hardening and reduced size of the arteries. This causes a decrease in blood circulation all over the body including the penis thus erections become hard. Obesity, commonly a result of the unbalanced diet, complicates this issue by augmenting the inflammatory status, altering the hormonal concentration, and predisposing people to such health challenges as diabetes and heart disease, which are the leading causes of ED.

2. Inactivity

An inactive lifestyle is a silent killer of erectile.. Exercise keeps one on the right weight, strengthens the heart, decreases blood pressure, enhances the production of testosterone which all are essential in getting healthy erections. Exercise, including its aerobic form, can make the heart strong and enhance blood flow such that enough blood is available in the penis at the right time.

3. Chronic Stress and Anxiety

The interaction between the mind and body is strong and chronic stress and anxiety can significantly hinder sexual performance. When stressed, your body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which result in blood vessel constriction and limit relaxation for an erection. Performance anxiety, relationship stress, or life stress can create a vicious circle. Stress causes ED, and ED causes more stress.

4. Excessive Alcohol Consumption and Smoking

Alcohol and nicotine are both deleterious toward erectile function. Chronic and excessive alcohol consumption harms the liver, nerves, and lowers testosterone production, all of which can contribute to ED. While low levels of alcohol might have a relaxing effect on some individuals, when the amount consumed exceeds the moderate level of consumption and significantly calms the user central nervous system (due to heavy drinking or intoxication), then the depressant effect of the alcohol can also make it very difficult for someone to generate an erection. Smoking is perhaps the most influential contributor towards atherosclerosis ( which is atherosclerosis of the penis) when it comes to erectile dysfunction. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and damages the walls of blood vessels damaging the walls of the blood vessels therefore limiting blood flow to the penis.

Quality sleep is foundational to all aspects of health, including sexual health. Sleep is when your body repairs itself, balances hormones, and processes emotions. Chronic sleep deprivation may impact various hormones including testosterone, among many other processes that contribute towards libido and erectile function.
