Foods for better sex life

Before reaching for an erection-enhancing pill or a libido-enhancing aphrodisiac, open the fridge and examine its contents. Maybe food is the reason why nothing interesting happens in your bedroom. Foods can affect your sex life!

As strange as it may seem, sex depends on good blood circulation and a properly functioning blood circulation. This applies to both sexes and has an effect not only on good functioning, but also on satisfaction itself. Commonly known aphrodisiacs often only affect our mind, and the pills or drops themselves do not cause excitement (the so-called placebo effect), they often only work to improve blood circulation, for which we can also use more frequent consumption of certain foods.

The most important thing is to stop loading the body with a large amount of bad fats before sex and replace them with the necessary fats, which are part of the foods listed below. Getting the right balance of fats in your diet can improve your heart health too.

Foods affecting sexual function in men and women.

Vitamins, minerals and especially omega 3 fatty acids have a very positive effect on erection in men, as do foods containing L-arginine. And since women also have an erection, if we mention the swelling around the vagina and the clitoris itself during excitement, the menu is the same for the more tender half.

In case of erectile dysfunction, include in the menu:

– nuts (peanuts, walnuts, cashews, Brazil nuts)

-marine fish with a higher amount of fat

-fattier dairy products and yogurts with live cultures

-vegetables (e.g. celery, leafy greens, carrots, garlic etc.)

-soy (yogurts, tofu, soy milk and others)

-ginseng

-pumpkin, squash, sesame and other seeds

-olive oil

-seafood and oysters

-vitamin B, minerals, especially zinc, and omega 3 fatty acids

What is good for our heart is also good for our genitals. For example, more frequent consumption of soy affects the production of estrogen. In addition to the health effects of improving the course of menopause, it has a positive effect on the production of “natural lubricants” in the vagina, and in men it has a positive effect on the prostate. However, women who have experienced breast cancer should be careful, significant consumption of soy could cause its recurrence.

From spices, it is recommended to incorporate curry and ginger into dishes, spicy spices such as chilli, pepper and hotter paprika act as a natural aphrodisiac and, according to research, improve love making.

Drinks affecting the desire for sex.

Perhaps you know from your own experience, that a glass of alcohol loosens the tongue and later also other tastes. However, more alcohol can inhibit sexual appetite and make you or your partner sleepy and reduce performance (if not outright prevent an erection). For starters, white wine or a glass of sparkling wine is recommended. We’ll skip the beer, this juice quells all cravings.

A sex dessert! Give it a try.

Of the sweet spices, cinnamon is an aphrodisiac. Its aroma and effects can be served to your partner on any dessert or sprinkled on coffee or ice cream decorated with whipped cream. Chocolate also works wonders, especially bitter and best warmed to a creamy consistency.

Other factors affecting sexual performance:

-Obesity results in low testosterone levels in men and prevents the ability to have an erection.

-Hormonal imbalance and psychological factors reduce the desire for sex in women.

-Stress, certain medications, and fatigue are general sex drive killers.

-Overeating – if we want to experience a passionate night, let’s remember that we mustn’t overeat. After such a meal, we want to sleep and not perform.

Tip A.

Cook and bake from ingredients that affect your sexual appetite, like craving pineapple juice and bananas. Or do you love chocolate? Chocolate has always been associated with a feeling of happiness and love.

Tip B.

-Include in the menu cinnamon.

-Try “Flakes” with raisins, plums and cinnamon

-Herbal tonic INTRA with 23 herbs. Try a peel that contains at least 5 packs in a row.

How to take care of intestinal microflora?

What is intestinal microflora?

Microbiota (intestinal flora). Probiotics contained in the diet settle in the walls of the large intestine, where they produce lactic acid and other organic acids, thereby protecting the intestinal mucosa from infections by harmful bacterial strains. Microflora consists of a huge number of bacteria, fungi, but also viruses and sometimes parasites.

How to take care of intestinal microflora?

Microbes (just like us) benefit from basic quality foods that are not industrially processed and sweetened or flavored with additives. It is absolutely ideal to regularly enrich the menu with fermented foods, such as fermented vegetables, fermented dairy products, or sourdough bread.

What Harms?

The microbiome is greatly harmed by industrially processed foods that are poor in microbes, but also in food that keeps microbes alive. We should clearly exclude foods with a high content of refined sugar, solidified fats, alcohol, and other generally unhealthy foods from our diet.

What helps with indigestion?

Modification of the menu: Limit the consumption of fatty, fried foods, as well as oversalted foods and sweets. Choose a diet rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grain bread) and probiotics (fermented dairy products, fermented vegetables).

How long does it take to restore intestinal microflora, when taking antibiotics?

Patients can take probiotics during and after antibiotic treatment. Studies have shown that it takes up to three weeks to restore a healthy intestinal microflora after prolonged use of antibiotics.

Maintaining the Balance of Intestinal Flora through the Diet!

Gut resets aim to restore the balance of the microbiome by:

  1. Removing foods that feed harmful bacteria and cause inflammation.
  2. Introducing plenty of prebiotic foods, which feed beneficial bacteria.
  3. Encouraging healthful practices, such as getting enough sleep and exercise and staying hydrated.

Effective Prevention of Illness.

Ways to Improve Your Gut Bacteria, Based on Science

  • Eat a diverse range of foods. …
  • Eat lots of vegetables, legumes, beans, and fruit. …
  • Eat fermented foods.
  • Eat prebiotic foods.
  • If you can, breastfeed for at least 6 months. …
  • Eat whole grains.
  • Eat a plant-based diet.Try Intra.
  • Eat foods rich in polyphenols.

TIP. Did You Know? Polyphenols play an important role in promoting health.

Polyphenols are a group of substances found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, but also in coffee, tea and cocoa. They play an important role in promoting health. People who suffer from conditions related to PCOS, endometriosis or insulin resistance should pay special attention to products that are a source of polyphenols.

Black and Green tea is an effective antioxidant, improves brain function, increases physical performance and fat burning, reduces the risk of cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, has an antibacterial effect, reduces blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of developing diabetes, protects against cardiovascular diseases, promotes vitality and extends life of life. Green tea contains large amounts of polyphenols (one of the most potent components being Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)). These polyphenols act as an antioxidant and help protect cells from oxidative damage by oxygen radicals. Polyphenols from green tea also effectively fight cancer, blocking enzymes that promote carcinogenic processes, further preventing the malignant proliferation of cells and preventing the formation of new blood vessels that provide nutrition for tumors.

Wealth Warning!
Much has been written over the years about the extremely high incomes that can be earned through network marketing. Lifestyles is no exception with some of the highest earners in the industry. On the other hand, however, not everyone has the desire to achieve such great wealth. In order to better inform you on what a typical distributor can expect to earn, we provide the following statement: „A typical distributor in Canada and the United States who has been in our business for over one year and has purchased more than $200.00 of product has an earning range of $399.00 to $2,000.00 per year. However, approximately 17% of these Distributors earn between $3,000.00 and $9,000.0 per year, and almost 8% earn between $10,000.00 and $20,000.00 per year.“ Now you decide! If you are a dreamer and would like a style of life worth working for then beware the Wealth Warning!

The thyroid gland affects our physical and mental health

The thyroid gland is a small, inconspicuous organ that plays a vital role in maintaining your physical and mental health. The thyroid gland controls almost every cell in the body. Getting your thyroid checked early can save your life.

Approximately 200 million people worldwide suffer from some form of thyroid disease. The two most common are hypothyroidism (reduced activity of the thyroid gland) and hyperthyroidism (excessive activity of the thyroid gland), with women, affected ten times more often than men.

About 15% of women develop thyroid problems during their lifetime. Difficulties very often come with pregnancy or during menopause.

The most common condition worldwide is hypothyroidism, symptoms of which usually include fatigue, feeling cold, muscle weakness, and unexplained weight gain. In reality, however, the consequences are even more serious.

“The thyroid gland controls almost every cell in the human body,” points out Cindy Samet, a professor of chemistry at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, who studies thyroid issues. “The thyroid gland can be said to be the main metabolic control center of the body. Brain, heart, and kidney function, as well as body temperature, growth, and muscle strength (and much more), are all at the mercy of thyroid function.”

The number of sick people is increasing.

The symptoms are alleviated by the mandatory iodization of edible salt in some countries, and therefore we no longer see goiter, which was a visible sign of problems with the thyroid gland.

How does the disease manifest itself?

Increased activity of the thyroid gland is accompanied by, for example, increased heart activity, high blood pressure, fatigue, weight loss, and psychological changes. But reduced activity doesn’t have to be so alarming. It manifests itself in fatigue, chills, swelling, shortness of breath, apathy, constipation, and sometimes joint pain, which many women (for example, during pregnancy or menopause) easily mistake for difficulties related to their condition and do not seek medical attention.

For example, according to the American Endocrinological Association, 60 percent of people with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.

The number of patients with thyroid disease is increasing very rapidly. This is due both to the increase in the incidence of autoimmune diseases in the population and to the improvement and availability of diagnostics. Laboratory determination of thyroid hormone levels is today a basic and commonly available examination even in general practitioners’ clinics. A large proportion of patients with thyroid disease are detected as part of other tests, not for thyroid problems. In children, it is often an immunological examination due to repeated respiratory diseases, in adults, the finding on the thyroid gland is detected during an ultrasound examination of the vessels in the neck.

There are many causes of the disease.

The most common cause of thyroid disease is an autoimmune process that damages the thyroid gland and it can lead to a malfunction of the thyroid gland, to a change in its size or structure.

Why the number of autoimmune diseases, including the involvement of endocrine glands, is increasing so much is another complicated question. Once common in the past, hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency is now a rare disease with widespread iodization of salt and is more likely to be a mild disorder in vegans or breastfeeding women. Even foods with a high “Strumigen content” (cabbage, horseradish) in large quantities can lead to reduced thyroid function.

Irradiation of the thyroid gland with radioactive radiation (external or radioiodine) is clearly a risk factor for the development of both reduced thyroid function and the most significant risk factor for the development of malignant tumors of the thyroid gland (irradiation of the neck for malignant tumors). Chemical substances in our environment also affect endocrine processes in the human body (lithium, phthalates). We still don’t know much about the cause of many other endocrine diseases.

Chronic stress also often affects the reduced function of the thyroid gland. Therefore, daily exercise and maintaining healthy relationships are also often recommended by experts, as both can also help the thyroid gland. Rest and at least seven hours of sleep are also important. But the thyroid gland is erratic. Her problems can negatively affect sleep. Depression, mood swings, and impaired ability to learn new things and to think in general are also frequent results.

It is not uncommon for people with hypothyroidism to end up in psychiatry. And it’s up to the doctor’s discretion whether to think of a possible thyroid connection. According to Medical News Today, hypothyroidism can also be responsible for anxiety, memory lapses, speech problems, and the development of so-called. pseudodementia. The paper states that 30-40 percent of sufferers suffer from an anxiety disorder at the same time.

What vitamins for the thyroid?

Thyroid inflammation is an autoimmune disease. As supportive therapy, it is advisable to take some of the vitamins whose levels decrease during this disease – selenium, zinc, antioxidants vitamin C, E, or omega-3 fatty acids. They reduce the formation of free radicals and thus prevent the development of inflammatory processes.

Limit the foods that are most harmful to the thyroid gland: Coffee.Sugar.Fried meals.Cruciferous vegetables.Gluten.Soya

Did you know that?

  • Thyroid disease or its treatment is never the main cause of obesity.
  • Thyroid disorders can develop over many years. An individual can live with the disease for a long time without realizing that the disorder affects them. Advanced is better recognized but more difficult to treat. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the disease at the earliest possible stage.
  • Pregnant and lactating women who have thyroid disease can take iodine. Only rarely do doctors not recommend iodine for women with Graves-Basedow disease or nodules.
  • After thyroid surgery and radioiodine, lifelong follow-up and usually lifelong thyroxine therapy are required.
  • A puncture of the thyroid gland is a painless examination because a thinner needle is used and the puncture takes a few seconds.
  • Examination – a puncture of the thyroid gland can lead to a rapid diagnosis and improve the prognosis of patients.
  • In stabilized patients with hypothyroidism, the dose of thyroxine is the same throughout the year – it does not make sense to adjust doses depending on the time of year.
  • If the Thyroid surgery operation is performed in a workplace with sufficient experience, it has a minimum of complications.
  • If thyroid disease is treated correctly, the symptoms of hyper- or hypothyroidism will gradually disappear, although this can sometimes take several months.
  • A rich source of iodine, for example, is the seaweed Kelp ( Fucus vesiculosus)  – you can add it to food or take its extract in tablets. Iodine is naturally also found in marine fish.

TIP.  Try Nutria Plus. Nutria Plus contains selenium, which is found in organic form in this product. This is because it is highly absorbable and usable by the body. Selenium, like iodine, is an important substance for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Best together with INTRA HERBAL JUICE.

How To Eat when You Have Gout and Diabetes – Part 1

It’s possible to suffer from both gout and diabetes at the same time. People with both gout and diabetes are advised to avoid foods that may affect the levels of uric acid and insulin in the body. Therefore, recommended diets for this group focus on lowering both uric acid and blood sugar levels.

Eating Right

1. Avoid purine-rich foods. Since uric acid is produced from the metabolism of purine in the body, it is best to avoid foods that contain purine. Urate crystals accumulate in the joints if uric acid is elevated and this can aggravate joint pain in gout. Also, uric acid elevation can increase insulin resistance which is a condition wherein the body does not respond to the function of insulin.

This can further elevate the blood sugar levels of a person, leading to diabetic symptoms. Purine-rich foods are mackerel, anchovies, organ meats, dried beans, peas, canned goods, instant noodles, wine, and beer.

2. Avoid foods rich in fructose. Foods rich in fructose consume a lot of adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) when metabolized. This ATP is an energy-supplying molecule that the cells in the body use. Over-consumption of ATP leads to its depletion and results in the generation of substances such as lactic acid and uric acid, thereby increasing the levels of uric acid in the blood.
Also, fructose is considered a sugar. Consuming foods rich in fructose can elevate the blood sugar of a person and lead to the occurrence of symptoms.
Foods to avoid are apples, bananas, pears, agave, melons, asparagus, beans, broccoli, cabbage, onion, tomato, peanuts, raisins, figs, carbonated drinks, fruit drinks, ketchup, canned goods, chocolate, pastries, and breakfast cereals.


3. Avoid alcohol. Alcohol interferes with the removal of uric acid from the body. When alcohol is converted to lactic acid, it reduces the amount of uric acid that is eliminated from the body through the kidneys. This is because the lactic acid competes with the uric acid in terms of being removed by the kidneys through urine.
Increased levels of ethanol (alcohol) in the body increase the body’s production of uric acid by increasing the amount of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) that is converted to AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) – a precursor of uric acid. Also, alcohol can affect the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

4. Eat high-fiber foods. Dietary fiber absorbs uric acid in the bloodstream, allowing it to be eliminated from the body through the kidneys. Also, pectin (which is a type of soluble fiber) lowers cholesterol by absorbing t from the body.
High levels of cholesterol in the body can increase blood pressure and can lead to the occurrence of diabetic symptoms. Include at least one high-fiber food in each major meal or snacks such as pineapple, oats, isabgol, cucumbers, oranges, barley, carrots, and celery. The ideal daily intake is 21 grams.

5. Eat foods rich in anthocyanins. Anthocyanins prevent the crystallization of uric acid and also prevent it from being deposited in the joints. Also, anthocyanins encourage hypoglycemic activity that may help to lower blood sugar. Foods rich in anthocyanins are eggplant, blueberries, cranberries, plums, black currant, grapes, pomegranates, red-fleshed peaches, and cherries.
You should include at least one of these foods in each major meal or snack.

6. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fats. Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce insulin resistance (a condition where the body is able to produce insulin but it is not used effectively), thereby reducing the risk or severity of type 2 diabetes. Also, the eicosa pentanoic acid (EPA) in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the levels of cholesterol and uric acid. The recommended dose for omega-3 fatty acids is not more than 3 grams daily. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are sardines, salmon, soybeans, flax seeds, walnuts, tofu, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, shrimp and winter squash.

Acute Gout Attack

The goal of treatment during an acute gout attack is suppression of inflammation and control of pain. It is important to note, that if a patient is not on uric acid lowering therapy at the time of an acute attack – then this is not the time to initiate such therapy. However, if a patient is on uric acid lowering therapy at the time of an acute attack, it should not be discontinued.

Treatment of pain and inflammation can be achieved with NSAIDs, colchicine, or corticosteroids (systemic or intra-articular). The choice of which treatment is the right one for a particular patient should be made on the basis of the patient’s co-morbid medical conditions, other medications, and side effect profile.

Uric Acid Lowering Therapy

Indications

Patients who have multiple episodes of acute gout attacks per year or who have tophi on exam are candidates for uric acid lowering therapy. Use of uric acid lowering agents will reduce the frequency of gout attacks and over time, reduce tophi formation, and diminish the risk of joint destruction. The following are indications for uric acid lowering therapy:

  • tophi or chronic arthritis on exam
  • failure of colchicine prophylaxis of acute gouty arthritis
  • renal stones
  • Prior to chemotherapy as prophylaxis of tumor lysis syndrome
  • Extremely high levels of serum uric acid (>12 mg/dl)

Uric acid is the end product of purine (nucleic acid component of DNA) metabolism and is produced normally by the body during tissue remodeling and breakdown. About 20% of uric acid is derived from purines ingested in food. Causes of hyperuricemia can be divided into two major categories: decreased clearance of uric acid from the kidney and increased synthesis of uric acid.

Decreased renal clearance – (90% of patients)

  • Intrinsic kidney disease
  • heart disease causing decreased blood flow to the kidney
  • drugs (loop diuretics, low dose aspirin, cyclosporin)
  • genetic predisposition
  • age related decrease in glomerulofiltration rate

Increased uric acid synthesis

  • Dietary indiscretions
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Increased tissue turnover–tumors, lymphoproliferative disorders
  • Stress induced increased turnover of ATP
  • Alcohol induced turnover of ATP

All patients should be encouraged to modify their lifestyle including limiting alcohol intake, encouraging weight loss where appropriate and decreasing food rich in purines. Co-morbid medical conditions should also be controlled including hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

Foods High in Purines

  • Very High – Hearts, herring , mussels, yeast , smelt, sardines, sweetbreads
  • Moderately High – Anchovies, grouse,mutton, veal, bacon, liver salmon, turkey, kidneys, partridge, trout, goose, haddock, pheasant, scallops

Treatment of gout
In an acute attack of gout, drugs against pain and inflammation of the joints, so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are used in relatively high, anti-inflammatory, doses. In addition, the doctor often prescribes the drug colchicine, which reduces the formation of uric acid crystals and reduces the inflammatory reaction to these crystals in the tissues. The drug allopurinol is then most often used in the long term. It lowers the level of uric acid, thereby helping to reduce the frequency of gout attacks, promotes the dissolution of already formed uric acid crystals and prevents their re-emergence. All gout medications are subject to a doctor's prescription.

You can also support the treatment yourself with a suitable diet and some dietary supplements. Vitamin C and other antioxidants are especially recommended. Pay special attention to the intake of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. It is possible that you suffer from their deficiency, especially if you follow a strict gout diet. To protect, nourish and regenerate joints, you can also use so-called chondroprotectives containing glucosamine and chondroitin. We can find them in over-the-counter medicines and in food supplements, in so-called joint nutrition. A suitable supplement is also collagen and again vitamin C, which contributes to the normal formation of collagen for normal cartilage function.
