Improving Your Sex Life Through Improved Health
I think one thing we all agree on is that sex is an important part of our life. Whether that is sexual gratification through intimacy, sexual confidence, a healthy libido and so on. What is interesting and not always talked about is the link between health and sex. Sexual activity is a health practice. Studies have shown that healthy processes occur in the body during and after sex.
Let’s reverse the equation on this. Does being unhealthy negatively effect one’s sex life? The answer is obvious, of course it does. Body health and sexual health and linked together to a certain degree. The act of sex itself involves energy and physical ability. If you are not healthy then this will affect your ability to perform any physical activity including sex at an optimal level. And more importantly, it can also affect your mood, self image, and other mental factors that can impact your sex life.
Both men and woman feel better at their optimal weight. The feeling is supported visually by the image of yourself looking your best. If you are overweight, how inclined are you to indulge in attire like lingerie? Less likely, whether you like or not we are all self-conscious about our bodies. The better the image we maintain of ourself, the better our self-conscious performs. This in turn creates less inhibition about our body and the sharing of our body with our intimate partner.
How does it work? Getting healthy can involve many avenues. Eating well, exercise, meditation, improved sleep all have been shown to increase health and well being. What will work for you will always depend on your current health status, your daily routines and your health goals. For people overweight, nutritional based programs tend to have the fastest and most aggressive results, not to say other things will not work. An unhealthy diet is a large component of being overweight. For those who are borderline overweight, exercise programs and tweaks to diet may be all that needs to happen to see improved results.
Unfortunately, approximately 42% of the US population is obese. The problem with this is simple, obesity is linked to other health issues like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. It is an avoidable source of illness for most people. How do you think this affects one’s sex life? Negatively, of course. Sexual desire is a big driver in our lives. The idea of getting healthy for the sake of getting healthy may not be a huge driver for many people. What about getting healthier for a better sex life?
If you are interested in a better sex life, maybe the first place to look is at your health. Is your body and mind optimized for amazing sex? Do you like the way you look and feel in your body? If not, what are you willing to do about it. How do you think your partner will respond to a healthier you? Your atrractiveness will increase the healthier you are. People are attracted to healthy people for number of reasons such face and body symmetry, skin color, etc. The healthier you are the more opportunity will present itself in your sex life
Remember one thing, getting healthy is not about buying into society’s version of the perfect body. Getting healthy is about your life journey and giving yourself the best opportunity to succeed at your endeavors. If you want an amazing sex life a good starting point may be a healthy body. If you are not at your optimal health, start to do things to get moving towards that healthy body.
Remember, be careful what you wish for, getting healthy can certainly lead to a better sex life. And a better sex life adds to an overall better life experience. And we are all after a better life experience. Go for it, and start today.
