Dissatisfaction with intercourse or the presence of sexual problems may be caused by the lack of a healthy lifestyle. According to experts, the better the physical and health condition, the more passionate and beautiful the sex life. Consumption of unhealthy and high-calorie food, as well as a sedentary lifestyle can reduce libido, lead to erectile dysfunction, inability to reach orgasm. The accumulation of excess fat in the body can cause a build-up of aromatase and aromatase enzymes, leading to low levels of the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. Both hormones play a key role in sexual arousal and behavior in both women and men. Low testosterone is one possible cause of low libido. If it drops significantly, almost every man would experience some drop in sex drive. According to a large-scale American study, about 28% of men with low testosterone also suffer from a decreased libido. The average age of the participants was 47 years.
