Fitness = Wellness = Good Sex

December 30, 2019 by admin

Are You Fit Enough for Sex?

The Harvard Health Publishing reports that “Sexual health refers to a state of well-being that lets a man fully participate in and enjoy sexual activity. A range of physical, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors influence a man’s sexual health.

Optimal male sexual health includes sexual desire (libido) and the ability to get and sustain an erection (erectile function). Although physiology can affect both the desire for sex and the ability to have sex, mental health and emotional factors also play important roles.

Male sexual health isn’t merely the absence of disease. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get an erection or to maintain it long enough for satisfying sexual activity. Many things can cause ED, including stress, depression, relationship issues, abnormally low testosterone, damage from urological surgery, and even cholesterol-clogged arteries. In fact, it is often an early warning sign for heart disease. ED can be treated with pills, injections into the penis, or devices.  Men can also experience difficulties related to ejaculation, including premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, or the inability to experience orgasm upon ejaculation (anorgasmia).”*

Being fit is an integral part of good health. The Boston Method® and its associated network of local physician offices provides treatment options for men’s health issues. Erectile dysfunction and other sexual performance problems often have underlying contributing factors.

A healthy diet, along with exercise is a crucial part of a satisfying life. Harmful foods abound. And sedentary, non-active habits are hard to break. Both can lead to a serious state of un-wellness.

Through examination and testing, the doctors at BMG look to identify these problem areas and their potential influences on overall patient health. Treatment programs are made available to patients, such as: dietary changes, exercise regiments, excessive smoking and alcohol behavioral recommendations, and more.

A Key to Better Sex: Kegels not Kegs

 

“You know that working out is good for your health. But did you know that hitting the gym could also help you have better sex? Working out three to four times a week can do a lot to help your sexual technique, flexibility, and endurance,” says Pete McCall, MS, an exercise physiologist and personal trainer for the American Council on Exercise (ACE).”

“Doing Kegels is considered a good sex exercise for men because these exercises can help endurance and control by toning the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles — the ones that let you stop the flow of urine mid-stream. Named after Los Angeles physician Arnold Kegel, they strengthen the muscles in your body’s pelvic floor, which can lead to better sex.

Men can use Kegels to delay ejaculation by contracting these muscles just before orgasm,” says McCall. To do Kegels, start by interrupting the flow of urine when going to the bathroom to get familiar with your PC muscles. After that, you can do Kegels anytime and any place by squeezing the PC muscles. Hold for 10 seconds, relax, and do as many reps as you can before tiring.” **

Think of It as Sexercise

You need to perform Kegel exercises, tiny contractions of your pelvic floor’s pubococcygeus (PC) muscles. The exercises—which women often practice to keep things tight and preventing that “hot dog flying down a hallway” feeling—are becoming increasingly popular with well-equipped men across the country. And for good reason: It turns out, Kegels can curb everything from premature ejaculation and, on the flip side, erectile dysfunction to crooked cocks. They can also make orgasms more intense.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t teach Kegels to at least five guys for various conditions,” says Brian L. Steixner, M.D., director of the Institute for Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group. He explains that the pelvic-floor muscles are a group of tissues that hang out in (you guessed it) your pelvis and act like a sling, holding up your internal organs and intestines. But the different muscles that make up the pelvic floor, most notably the PC muscles, which stretch from your anus to your urinary sphincter, are critical in your penis’s health.

For instance, Kegels are a mainstay treatment option for both ED and premature ejaculation. After all, by working the pelvic-floor muscles, you not only strengthen the muscle that support erections, but you also improve blood flow to the penis (as Steixner notes, “ED is really just a heart attack of the penis”). In one BJU International study of men ages 20 and older, 40 percent kicked ED completely by performing Kegels for six months. Another 35.5 percent significantly improved their symptoms.


What’s more, when you are erect, you’ll look, well, more erect. “Some research shows that Kegel exercises can make erections point further up in men whose penises tend to point down or straight forward when erect,” says urologist Darius A. Paduch, M.D., Ph.D., a male sexual medicine specialist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

As far as premature ejaculation goes, Kegels work largely by strengthening the urinary sphincter and other muscles that control ejaculation. In a 2014 Therapeutic Advances in Urology study, 82 percent of men who had suffered with lifelong premature ejaculation increased their latency time after just 12 weeks of Kegels.

You can also perform Kegels during your sexploits to delay the inevitable, Paduch says. That’s because, when you squeeze your PC muscles, you are telling your brain that you want to pee (don’t worry, you won’t!). And since your penis has only one urethra, it puts a hold on ejaculation, he explains. When you are getting close, perform five quick Kegels and you should be good to go. Steixner notes that pulling this trick also makes you experience “a longer buildup and stronger orgasms.”***

Naturally, exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a good diet and avoiding excessive use of alcohol and recreational drugs, are essential for enjoying a good sex life.

However, E.D. can occur anyway. About 90% of cases of ED are caused by certain physical factors, classified as vascular (related to blood flow) and non-vascular diseases. It is estimated that 70% of all ED cases may be attributable to vascular diseases alone. (http://www.bostonmedicalgroup.com/erectile-dysfunction/what-is-erectile-dysfunction)

Boston Medical Group has tried and true medication-based remedies. New treatment options include Rejuvapulse™, BostonPRP™, BostonStemCell™ and Testosterone Therapy.

E.D. has many causes. Some genetic. Some age-related. Those that are self-induced, such as obesity can be solved in numerous ways. E.D. is more than just a sexual problem. A fulfilling sex life can lead a greater sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Bigger Isn’t Always Better

When Sex Is a Weighty Matter

It’s widely known being overweight can have serious health consequences. And in many cases, it can have deleterious effects on a guy’s sex life. According to the CDC, one third of all Americans are obese. That is a lot of Americans.

“Many men suffering from obesity also suffer from erectile dysfunction (E.D.).” According to Ira Sharlip, MD, spokesperson for the American Urological Association, “Fifty-three percent of men between the ages of 40-70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction.” There are many risk factors for erectile dysfunction including:

  • Age
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Low testosterone
  • Smoking and diabetes, along with a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle

With many conflicting studies, it is unclear whether a high body mass index (BMI) and obesity cause erectile dysfunction or are just tied to the associated risk factors, however, it is clear that obesity is a contributing factor. With significant health and lifestyle changes, erectile dysfunction can be significantly improved.

Simply with increased age alone, there is an associated natural decline in erectile function. If there are other diseases present, there is a greater risk. E.D. and sexual performance are great sources of anxiety and concern for all men. Poorly perceived performance leads to worsening performance and depression for even the most confident of men! Obesity can bring on these diseases and also magnify these psychological concerns.”*

Obviously, for seriously obese men, action should be taken to gain control and seek remedies to lose weight. Nevertheless, E.D. treatment options abound.

When Sex Becomes A Belly Flop

Belly fat is nothing to joke about. Find out what causes belly fat, the health risks it poses for men and what you can do to lose the extra pounds.

If you’re carrying a few extra pounds, you’re not alone. But this is one case where following the crowd isn’t a good idea. Carrying extra weight — especially belly fat — can be risky.

Belly fat is a more dangerous fat. The trouble with belly fat is that it’s not limited to the extra layer of padding located just below the skin (subcutaneous fat). It also includes visceral fat — which lies deep inside your abdomen, surrounding your internal organs. Regardless of your overall weight, having a large amount of belly fat increases your risk of:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Sleep apnea
  • Premature death from any cause
  • High blood pressure

Age and genetics may contribute to gaining belly fat. Your weight is largely determined by three main factors:

  • How many calories you consume during the day
  • How many calories you burn off through daily exercise
  • Your age

A Measured Approach To A Better Sex Life.

“If you eat too much and exercise too little, you’re likely to pack on excess pounds, including belly fat.

Getting older plays a role too. As you age, you lose muscle — especially if you’re not physically active. Loss of muscle mass decreases how quickly your body uses calories, which can make it more challenging to maintain a healthy weight. According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, men in their 50s need about 200 fewer calories daily than they do in their 30s due to this muscle loss.

Your genes also can contribute to your chances of being overweight or obese, as well as play a role in where you store fat. However, balancing the calories you consume with activity can help prevent weight gain, despite your age and genetics.

Alcohol’s calories contribute to beer belly. Drinking excess alcohol can give you a beer belly, but beer alone isn’t to blame. Drinking too much alcohol of any kind can increase belly fat, because alcohol contains calories. If you drink alcohol, do so only in moderation.

For men age 65 and younger, moderation means up to two drinks a day. For men older than age 65, it means up to one drink a day. The less you drink, the fewer calories you’ll consume and the less likely you’ll be to gain belly fat.” **

Love Handles Aren’t Always So Lovable.

  “Overweight/obesity can cause E.D. by damaging the blood vessels, decreasing testosterone and causing a state of generalized inflammation in the body. Obesity can cause damage to blood vessels due to the associated hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and inflammation.

It is proposed that the increased state of inflammation may cause free radicals in the body that cause oxidative damage to tissues. The harmful effects of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia are well studied, published and accepted.

Men who are affected by obesity may have elevated cholesterol, hypertension and high blood pressure and diabetes, all of which contribute to erectile dysfunction. “If you are affected by obesity, the risk of developing diabetes is two to three times more likely than for someone who is not affected by obesity,” says Elizabeth Selvin, PhD, MPH, assistant professor and epidemiologist at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Additionally, she says, “More than 50 percent of men with diabetes suffer from erectile dysfunction.”

It is well studied and accepted that obesity often leads to diabetes as well as atherosclerosis-related hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which can cause E.D. We do not know exactly why, but obesity appears to damage the inner lining of the vessels (the endothelium) and when this lining is damaged the penis cannot get enough blood flow to produce and sustain an erection.

‘An erection is basically a cardiovascular event, and if blood flow cannot increase because the blood vessels can’t dilate normally, then there is a decrease in erectile function,’ says Robert A Kloner, MD, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine. A fatty diet and lack of exercise that contribute to obesity and cardiovascular disease can cause narrowing and hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can slow blood flow as well.” *

E.D. has many causes. Some genetic. Some age-related. Those that are  self-induced, such as obesity can be solved in numerous ways.

About 90% of cases of ED are caused by physical factors, classified as vascular (related to blood flow) and non-vascular diseases. It is estimated that 70% of all ED cases may be attributable to vascular diseases alone.

ED is more than just a sexual problem. A fulfilling sex life can lead to a greater sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Cannabis. The Can-do Aphrodisiac?

October 22, 2019 by admin

Marijuana has been likened to a “cure-all” for innumerable maladies. And indeed, studies abound regarding its healing properties.* But it’s long been known to pot aficionados that one of its primary benefits is how it induces a more gratifying experience during sexual intercourse.

Is Pot the high-way to Happiness?

“According to a research study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM), entitled the Association Between Marijuana Use and Sexual Frequency in the United States: A Population-Based Study, the goal of the study was, “To elucidate whether a relation between marijuana use and sexual frequency exists using a nationally representative sample of reproductive-age men and women.”

“The analysis represented 28,176 women and 22,943 men nationwide who were surveyed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) via a questionnaire. The CDC’s broad, all-encompassing survey is often utilized by researchers as a basis for further, more specific analysis.”**

Since marijuana has been illegal under Federal Law – indeed it has been categorized as a Schedule 1 “drug” as is heroin – few scientific studies have been conducted (or even allowed). Other countries have filled in the void, including Israel.*

Euphoria? You be the Judge.

In general, anecdotal evidence, such as wide-spread word-of-mouth (so to speak), including social media reports, validate the supposition – namely, people with a buzz tend to enjoy sensual experiences with a greater degree of satisfaction. Simply stated, cannabis, acts as a sex aid for many participants. Unlike alcohol, which can have the opposite effect when consumed to a deleterious level, pot increases sexual pleasure with few negative side effects – not withstanding an appetite for the munchies.

Orgasmically Organic.

“Your body’s natural endocannabinoid system is key in regulating things like pleasure, pain, relaxation, and homeostasis. When it is activated by the cannabinoids in cannabis, it can leave users feeling relaxed with increased pleasure and decreased pain. This can lead to increased arousal and make sex even more enjoyable.” ***

Several years ago, a survey was conducted with “responses of 373 participants (the majority of whom were straight, white women) who all sought care at a specific OB/GYN practice between March 2016 and February 2017. The survey included questions about overall sexual activity—including how satisfied they were with their current sex life, drive, orgasms and lubrication. The survey also asked whether or not they used marijuana, if they used prior to having sex and how frequently they partook.”
“Of the sample, 176 women said they use cannabis. Among those who reported using marijuana before sex, 68.5 percent stated that the overall sexual experience was more pleasurable, 60.6 percent noted an increase in sex drive, and 52.8 percent reported an increase in satisfying orgasms…”****

Turn on and Tune in to your Body

CNN reports: “People who use marijuana may have more sex because they put less pressure on themselves when they are high, so they don’t have the same performance anxiety as those who are sober,” suggested sex therapist Amanda Pasciucco, who practices in Connecticut, where medical use is legal. “A small amount of marijuana may also help increase your ability to communicate your preferences to your partner.”

“Sex therapist Lawrence Siegel noted that in particular, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol — the cannabinoid THC — appears to target a part of our brain associated with sexual arousal…”

It’s no surprise that weed usage is so popular. According to the United Nations, 158.8 million people around the world use marijuana—more than 3.8% of the planet’s population. Pew Research reports: “A majority of Americans support marijuana legalization. About six-in-ten Americans (62%) say the use of marijuana should be legalized, according to a fall 2018 survey.”

Marijuana is popping up everywhere and in many forms

October 2, 2019 by admin

As far back as 5000 years ago marijuana was used to treat medical conditions and used in spiritual ceremonies.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law in the United States. But state marijuana laws are continuing to change. More than 20 states now permit the sale of marijuana for medicinal use, whether inhaled or consumed via other methods, or given in a prescription drug. Currently, 2 FDA medications on the market, Marinol (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone) are synthetic cannabinoids used to treat nausea or neuropathic pain. Other drugs in clinical testing include Epidelix for childhood seizures and Sativex for cancer pain.

Cannabidiol is also a popular remedy used for many ailments. Cannabidiol or CBD is one of over 100 chemical compounds found in the cannabis or marijuana plant. (Cannabis Sativa) THC or tetraydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive element found in cannabis, and causes the sensation of getting high that is often associated with marijuana. Unlike THC, CDB does not have that psychoactive effect?

Armed with this knowledge what is the medical usage for Marijuana or its compounds?

Marijuana has been used to treat pain as far back as the 2900 B.C. era.

More recently scientists in research laboratories have discovered that certain compounds of Marijuana, including CBD, are responsible for pain reducing effects.

CBD oil may reduce chronic pain by reducing inflammation. An oral spray called Sativex, when mixed with THC and CBD, is approved in several countries to treat the pain related to multiple sclerosis and arthritis.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization) depression is the single largest reason for disability, while anxiety disorders are ranked sixth in the world population. Depression is usually treated with prescription medication that has a host of side effects and these medications can become addictive.

CBD oil has shown promise for both depression and anxiety.

Studies are being carried out in all corners of the world pushing medical discovery boundaries establishing validated research for all types of ailments that CBD oil and Marijuana can improve.

A partial list of ailments that CBD (or CBD Oil) or Marijuana can relieve are:

  • Cancer related symptoms – nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy
  • Increase appetite of Cancer patients who are losing too much weight from radiation or chemotherapy
  • Fights cancer
  • Might reduce acme
  • CBD might provide benefits for those with neurological disorders
  • Multiply Sclerosis
  • Heart Health – CBD oil may lower blood pressure
  • Schizophrenia and mental disorders
  • Substance abuse treatment
  • Anti-tumor effects
  • Type 1 Diabetes
  • Restore natural sleep cycles
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Huntington’s disease
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Epilepsy
  • Even Glaucoma
  • CBD Oil can Assist people to stop smoking and with drug withdrawals

There are too many ailments to list in this publication for the benefit of CBD, CBD Oil and Marijuana and you are urged to continue to research this on your own and to monitor laws governing the usage of these products in your own state.

Side Effects:

As with every medication or supplement there are side effects:

  • Liver problems
  • Changes in appetite and weight
  • Gastrointestinal problems
  • Infections
  • Rashes and other sensitivities reaction
  • Fatigue
  • Reduced urination
  • Breathing problems

In conclusion:
The Marijuana and CBD /CBD oil industry is quickly changing offering many patient suffering from a host of ailments relief. The medical community and state governments have been slow to adapt their practice and policies to acceptance of the use of Marijuana and CBD products; however, there is a measurable movement to include Marijuana and CBD products in the treatment of patients with qualifying ailments.

Marijuana is illegal on the federal level, but is legal under some state laws. Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal on the federal level but are still illegal under some state laws. Nonprescription CBD products are not FDA – approved and may be inaccurately labeled as well.

This is the dawn of a reemergence of a natural plant and its compounds to be used to help mankind with many illnesses that have plagued man throughout the centuries.
