The secret to keeping men energetic at 60

Men of the same age sometimes have very different sexual abilities. Some men stop having sex completely when they are in their 50s or 60s, but some men still have strong sexual desires when they are over 80. The reason for this is due to the aging of sexual function.

50 years old is a critical period for preventing sexual aging, because this is a turning point in male sexual ability. After 50 years old, male testicles will gradually age, testosterone secretion will decrease, and testicles will shrink relatively. All these will physiologically limit sexual ability. If you want to change this situation, men should pay attention to the following points:

1. Exercise regularly

Exercise has a positive effect on sex. People who exercise regularly have quicker reactions, slower organ aging, and stronger disease resistance. A stronger physique will slow down the decline of sexual function.

2. Nutritional balance

Men should eat more zinc-containing foods and other foods that are beneficial to sexual function, such as millet, lotus seeds, fish, sea cucumbers, leeks, walnuts, mutton, venison, sparrow meat, sparrow eggs, shrimps, mussels, etc.

3. Pay attention to appearance

Being older doesn't mean being conservative and old-fashioned. A 50-year-old can still maintain the same mentality as a young person. Paying attention to appearance and maintaining admiration for women can stimulate the secretion of sex glands in the body and maintain and preserve sexual function.

4. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption

Studies have shown that alcohol slows down the production of testosterone, and chronic alcoholism may also lead to nutritional deficiencies, causing gonadal hormone disorders, clinical manifestations of decreased libido, etc. The toxins in cigarettes can also inhibit sexual function and induce erectile dysfunction.

5. Be cautious when taking supplements

In order to reduce the deterioration of sexual function, men can take appropriate supplements under the guidance of doctors, but it is advisable to take medicine according to the symptoms. Some tonics are aphrodisiacs, but most middle-aged and elderly men have a constitution of both yin and yang deficiency. Simply aphrodisiacs will cause an imbalance between yin and yang, which is not conducive to maintaining sexual function.

6. Persistence in sex

Sex and love are both present in life. To delay sexual aging, we must first break the traditional concept and understand that aging does not mean the loss of sexual desire and the end of sex life. A study in the United States found that men can still maintain their sexual ability at the age of 80; 90.4% of men over 60 have sexual desire, and 54.7% have strong sexual demands. A proper and harmonious sex life is conducive to enhancing the immune function of the nervous system, eliminating loneliness, making people optimistic, and making marriages stable and the relationship between husband and wife harmonious.
