For many couples, sex has become a taboo word , either because the man regularly fails to get it up , or simply because ‘ madam ’ no longer feels anything under , however much her spouse tries .
Physicians say when a couple loves each other but are unable to articulate their love sexually , the problem may have to do with their dietary habits .
Researchers are warning that too much exposure to sugary foods will lead to insulin resistance , which is caused by a diet high in refined carbohydrates , including white flour , sugary drinks such as soft drinks, so -called fruit juices , and alcohol.
If things are not put under control and a deliberate healthy eating habit imbibed , experts say insulin resistance is capable of driving down testosterone in both men and women .
When the level of testosterone falls lower than normal because of high blood sugar in both sexes, it affects the sex drive .
And this is not peculiar to old men or women , as young men and women are just as susceptible to this risk.
The way sex drive works in both male and female are somewhat the same. For a man to get and sustain erection , the arteries relax and open up to let more blood flow in . At the same time , the veins close up . Once blood is in the penis , pressure traps it within the corpora cavernosa . The penis expands and holds the erection .
When a woman becomes aroused , the blood vessels in her genitals dilate . The external genitalia or vulva ( including the clitoris , vaginal opening , and inner and outer labia ) become swollen due to the increased blood supply.
For both man and woman, when blood sugar is high , both the penis and the clitoris will be unable to sail through this complicated process that allows for good sex .
Again , experts warn that sugar saps energy . High - glycaemic carbohydrates increase blood sugar , leading to insulin over - production that also pulls blood sugar back down. The roller coaster of low , then high , then low blood sugar results in fatigue .
High sugar consumption also leads to decreased orexin, a neurotransmitter that regulates arousal and wakefulness , which leads to fatigue , which leads to snoring, rather than getting down to ‘ business . ’
In addition , too much sugar leads to stress . Sugar is the most inflammatory food around , which leads to physical stress in the body and mind. High insulin levels will elevate cortisol , a main stress hormone . Chronic high cortisol leads to muscle break down , fat storage , and squashed libido .
The bottom line : If one of your big desires in life is to feel juicy , sexy , and alive , then it’ s time to cut down on sugar
