Improving erectile function in men with andropause

In most cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by an inability to pump enough blood to the penis to achieve an erection.

Causes of this deficiency include nerve damage, stress, anxiety, use of certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity and health conditions such as high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and diabetes.

The drop in testosterone that accompanies andropause also plays a negative role in glucose and lipid metabolism, increasing susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and possibly metabolic syndrome.

A good diet can help prevent the onset of these 3 health problems and thus improve erectile function.

Avoiding the accumulation of belly fat, a good remedy for andropause

As they approach their 40s, many men start to accumulate fat around their waist.

A drop in testosterone is linked to this tendency to accumulate belly fat.

This fat, called visceral fat, is dangerous to health because it is found around important organs such as the heart and liver.

It also increases the risk of many diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

Measuring waist circumference can indicate whether a person is overweight or abdominally obese.

Abdominal obesity is defined as a waist circumference of more than 94 cm for men.

Abdominal obesity corresponds to a waist circumference of 102 cm or more in men.

The waist should be measured at the smallest circumference between the navel and the last rib.

To lose weight and reduce your waist circumference, you do not need to go on a diet, but you do need to follow some dietary recommendations, consume fewer calories and increase your level of physical activity.

To achieve this, it is important to be aware of your hunger and satiety signals, so that you only eat when you really feel hungry - when your stomach starts to rumble and your energy and concentration levels drop slightly.

It is also important to stop eating when your stomach is satisfied without being too full, which sometimes means not emptying your plate.

Most people who are overweight or obese often eat without feeling hungry and do not stop eating when they should.

Listening to your body's signals is one of the best strategies for regaining and maintaining a healthy weight.
