As time and technology advances, many of us in the sex health world have watched nature and science team up victoriously. The following studies show how changing something as simple as your diet can improve the overall quality of your sex drive, primarily semen quality in men. Take a peek and learn how health and sex coincide… – Kimi
A funny thing happened while researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) were testing the effects of yogurt on obese mice: unexpected side effects sprouted up. First, yogurt-fed mice developed thick, shiny fur, with 10 times the hair-follicle density of their yogurt-deprived counterparts. Then researchers noticed that wasn’t all that seemed . . . fuller. The yogurt-eating males held their whiskers high and proudly displayed their testes, which were about 15% heavier than males consuming low-nutrient “junk” food. The yogurt-eating males also inseminated their partners faster, and yogurt-eating females gave birth to larger and more successful litters.
We’ve been touting the benefits of no-sugar-added, low-fat Greek yogurt for a long time. It contains beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that help keep your digestive and immune systems humming, your arteries flexible, and your triglyceride levels and blood pressure low — essentials for healthy sexual functioning.
Can it pump up humans, too? Seems so. For quite a while, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Healthhave been looking at the association between yogurt intake and semen quality. Their findings are consistent with what the MIT group saw in the mice.
Guys, if you’re thinking of adding yogurt to your daily “good times” menu (tomatoes protect against prostate cancer, and blueberries and broccoli keep blood pumping where it should), here’s our recommendation: at least half a cup of low-fat/nonfat, no-sugar-added yogurt with fresh fruit and unsweetened whole grain cereal, daily.
4 other benefits of yogurt:
- Yogurt makes your blood vessels happy. A diet rich in low-fat dairy can curb your risk of high blood pressureby up to 31%.
- Yogurt with probiotics kills bad bugs. Probiotics are good-guy bacteria that search out and destroy the nasty microbes that cause periodontal disease and intestinal trouble. Look for “contains probiotics” or “live active cultures” on yogurt labels.
- Yogurt helps you remember. Researchers have linked eating low-fat yogurt with better memory recall than full-fat dairy foods.
- Yogurt satisfies hunger better than a candy bar. Leave it to the French: They reported that an afternoon yogurt snack makes 20-year-olds feel fuller than a chocolate bar does. Stir a few dark-chocolate bits and some juicy fruit into a thick, creamy, low-fat Greek yogurt and you won’t need any convincing.
