Penis Health – How to Keep Your Penis in Its Top Shape

Most men if asked would say their penis is one of their most prized possessions. And just like anything else you consider of value, you probably are interested in taking care of it so it can be in the best shape and health. Penises are just like any other body part; you need to work and take some extra measures in order to take care of it properly. So, what are some of those measures you can take?

The first tip I can give you is to eat more eggs. You are probably aware of the many benefits of eggs; they have a high nutritional value for your body in general. In this case though, you want it for their B vitamins. B vitamins help with sexual drive; as a matter of fact, they are a key component of it. So keep those eggs on the sunny side…or have them in an omelet if you prefer it, of course.

If you want to further improve that sexual drive and your testosterone levels, you should also eat more cheese. An especially great choice is blue cheese; additionally, the lipids you can find in Roquefort will help increase those levels too.

Lastly, you should eat your vegetables. Maintaining a healthy diet helps maintaining sugar levels in control, which helps preventing diabetes that in turn causes ED and impotence. And carrots have anticancer effects, so you best start eating your carrots if you want to prevent prostate cancer in the future.

Not everything you consume can benefit your sex drive. Something scary that may unsettle if you are already paranoid about plastics (everyone should be worried about plastic in the environment - it’s not just me, right?) is that the bisphenol A (or BPA for short) in a lot of plastic containers actually have an effect on your sperm. And it’s not a good effect for anyone; as a matter of fact, studies have found that the presence of BPA can cut that sperm count by about 23% in affected males. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. So if you pack your lunch in Tupperware, it may be a good idea to switch to glass containers or something without BPA’s.

Another item that decreases your sperm count is soy milk. Studies have found men who regularly drink soy milk actually have about 41 m/ml less than normal amounts. So it is probably a good idea to lay off that soy for a while if you’re looking to produce.

Sperm count and fertility can also be affected by using your laptop late at night. It may sound ridiculous, but research has found laptop use increases the scrotal temperature by about 2.5 degrees and that is not good news for your little swimmers.

On the bright side, if you want to improve your sperm count, you can take a combination of zinc and folate pills. Studies have shown evidence that these two elements actually improve your percentage of healthy sperm.

If you love masturbation, that’s actually great for you and your penis (in more ways than one). Think about masturbating as if you were going to the gym to train for a marathon. The reality is masturbating is like working out, so your pelvis muscles are actually getting stronger; this is a good thing, because your erections will be stronger.

Do you know alcohol can decrease your testosterone levels? If you didn’t know, it can actually decrease them to about 23%. If you have trouble getting it up and you are consuming alcohol, this may be the root cause. So say no to that glass of wine or beer if you want to have a strong erection later on. And speaking about strong erections, if you are a smoker you are reducing your blood circulation. Those damaged blood vessels resulting from tobacco use make your erections shorter, so stay away from cigarettes (besides, they are bad for your general health!)
