Low libido is a problem that many people face and that can often be addressed with a change in lifestyle. In order to be successful and to “attack” the culprits of the lack of desire for sex, the cause must first be known. In some cases, it can be surprising. 1. Overweight Excess weight is associated with cardiovascular disorders, low self-esteem and low self-esteem. All these factors can affect the desire for sex from a psychological point of view. From a physiological point of view, being overweight harms a man’s libido because it affects the health of blood vessels. Extra pounds could affect the endothelium of blood vessels. This means that blood flow to the penis may be insufficient to achieve an erection. The causes of being overweight can include: excessive food consumption; excessive consumption of sugar, alcohol, medication or coffee. NEWS_MORE_BOX 2. Dental problems According to the American Academy of Periodontology, patients who are affected by periodontal disease are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. The long-term chronic inflammation that is characteristic of these cases can damage the blood vessels, and this can lead to impotence. Although the connection is not obvious, men and women who wear dentures are known to suffer from low libido. Specialists explain that they are more insecure and worry about the prostheses falling out during intercourse. The very fear that this might happen negatively affects sexual activity.
