Obesity affects men's sexual function. The bigger the waist, the more dangerous it is.

Studies have shown that men who are too obese do not have strong general abilities. Because obesity can affect sexy techniques and the exercise of sexual abilities. According to surveys, about 60% of obese men have sexual dysfunction or similar sexual life problems, which are manifested in sexual desire, penis erection, ejaculation and low sexual appeal during sexual life.

How to determine whether you are obese?

Obesity is mostly due to excessive calories from eating and cannot be metabolized through physical exertion. Excess calories are converted into fat and stored in subcutaneous tissue.

There are generally two methods for calculating obesity judgment:

① Normal weight = height cm-100 (when the weight exceeds 20% of the normal standard, it is obese)

② Weight kg/height m2 (≥24 is overweight, ≥28 is obese)

In addition, waist circumference is also an important indicator of obesity. According to the latest standards of China's health department, when a man's waist circumference is greater than 90cm, it is considered central obesity.

How does obesity affect sexual function?

Obesity often coexist with sexual dysfunction. The causal relationship between the two is not clear. The reason may be that obesity is prone to diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Obese people generally have disorders of blood lipid metabolism and develop high cholesterol and high triglycerides. These diseases themselves can cause metabolic disorders in the body. There is a small amount of estrogen in normal men. Most of these estrogen is converted from male hormones, and a very small part is directly secreted by the seminal vesicle.

Although estrogen in the blood is very small, it plays an important role in regulating the secretion of gonadotropin by the pituitary gland and the secretion of testosterone by the testis. The increase in body fat in obese people causes more testosterone to be converted into estrogen, and the blood concentration can be increased by about doubled. The testosterone will decrease relatively or absolutely, which is manifested by a decrease in sexual desire, a weakening or loss of erectile intercourse, and obstacles to ejaculation function.

Ordinary obesity does not have a significant impact on sexual function, but if you are overweight and have difficulty intercourse, problems with image and self-confidence will also occur. Therefore, mental factors are also a cause of impotence caused by obesity.

For men who are obese and associated with sexual dysfunction, appropriate weight loss measures should be taken. The first thing is to reduce excessive calorie intake and advocate a reasonable diet. Strengthen physical exercise, at least 5 times a week, each time for more than 40 minutes. Quit smoking and alcohol. Increase self-confidence.

After comprehensive treatment, controlling excessive weight can not only improve sexual function, but also prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and other diseases, and improve the quality of life.

Men have to be tough on weight loss, exercise, and diet

Losing weight is really about changing your exercise and eating habits. No matter what job you do, there will be ways to burn calories. In fact, opportunities for exercise in daily life are everywhere.

Key points of exercise to lose weight

1. Aerobic exercise such as cycling, running, swimming, and walking is the most effective way to consume calories in the body;

2. Don't try your best to find a space in a crowded parking lot. Put the car further away and you can enjoy a walk;

3. Don't take the elevator, climb the stairs yourself;

4. Don't hesitate to go for a walk during a break instead of drinking coffee or cola, because walking can clear your mind better than any beverage;

5. Adjust your relationship with your partner in a stressful life, knowing that having sex is also a good exercise.

Key points for diet and weight loss

As you age, changes within the body may develop in two directions. On the one hand, the amount of calories required decreases and the storage of remaining calories increases; on the other hand, the body's ability to process food and absorb nutrients gradually weakens.

As a result, a 45-year-old person's food intake is similar to that of a 20-year-old person. The energy intake by the former is more easily converted into weight than is difficult to nourish the body. Therefore, choosing an appropriate diet is important to prevent weight gain.

1. Try to schedule social activities that cannot be rejected at noon, and it is best to go home and eat some lighter food for dinner;

2. Change commonly used beverages to weak tea or white water. Over time, you will find that sugary and alcoholic drinks are not so good to drink;

3. The weight of those who eat a few meals loses faster than those who eat three meals a day;

4. If you don't eat breakfast, you may eat more for lunch or dinner, which is not conducive to weight loss;

5. Drink 6-8 cups of water every day. Water helps stimulate the metabolism of fat in the body and suppresses appetite. Water can also prevent body fluids from retaining. Drinking enough water can enable the body to replace stored body fluids in a timely manner;

6. Try to choose what you eat that takes time to chew. Slow down the speed of eating can help you strengthen your brain, and have time to form a satiety signal and eliminate hunger.
