When struggling with any health condition it means identifying the causes. In America diet, stress, and chemicals all play a roll. Going for the long haul means you need to integrate something bigger than what medicine offers for a healthy future.

A sexually active life is tied to health. The life expectancy of your sex life can be estimated by your general overall condition. This means open arteries so the blood flow can reach all your organs. This includes your reproduction system.

The amount of energy and stamina also influences your sexual escapades. If we learned that at an early age we might make some concessions to conserve that function. Health affects just about every aspect of our lives. What we have done is replaced sexual expression with habitual eating. Eating is a necessity that has gone beyond a need to a pastime. There are other activities that are also pleasurable that we neglect. We eat to live; now we live to eat. The price is high for disregarding this.

The problem is that we have lost sight of the fact that sex is dependent on our overall health.

Study     

“If you want good sex, you better get down to the gym and tuck into your fruit and veg,” says the Daily Mirror, The newspaper reports. A link has been found between sexual activity and general health. This shouldn’t surprise anyone it seems obvious.

This is based on two US surveys that looked at more than 6,000 people aged 25 to 85. It found that a satisfactory sex life is positively associated with health in middle age and later life. It also noted that between the ages of 75 to 85, 39% of men were sexually active compared to just 17% of women. That again shouldn’t be a surprise.

The study introduces a new health measure, called “sexually active life expectancy”, which denotes the average remaining years of sexually active life. From the age of 55 men could expect another 15 years of sexual activity, women another 11 years.

Is This True ?

Without a doubt health contributes to the way we function. Having diabetes is known to change sexual functioning. Any chronic condition will impact our sexual lives.

What is surprising is the way we accept this as natural. A declining sex life seems so natural as if it should occur with age. In fact when we teach sex education this isn’t a topic that is discussed. To most people it is a mysterious occurrence, which is blamed on age, hormones, and stress.

Result of the Study

The result of the study is really not going to bring about change. Our lifestyle hasn’t changed even with the knowledge that our health is dependent on our waist size.

Men and women reported in very good or excellent health were about twice as likely to be sexually active compared with similarly aged people in poor or fair health. So in today’s world the corollary damage to our sex life can be due to the lack of a holistic whole food life style. The question is what price you are willing to pay for the chance to eat a load of junk food.
