Mushrooms For Sex Drive
MUSHROOMS FOR SEX DRIVE: While the topic may be a bit sensitive to some, intimacy is a very important activity for health and wellness. Your body releases powerful immune supportive chemicals before, during and after sexual activity. Intimacy is really very healthy. A strong libido (sex drive) is a sign of proper balance in body chemistry. If chemical imbalances occur, they often can affect libido and some RX medications don’t help. A low sex drive may be related to circulation and blood pressure. (psychological issues are more complex) Heart disease which is the hardening of arterial walls can lower sex drive. High cholesterol and high blood pressure can also impact the amount of blood flowing to the genital region. Diabetes contributes to sex drive by damaging nerves and blood vessels all over the body.
Sex Drive and Cholesterol
Cholesterol is essential for making many critical hormones, including the stress hormone cortisol. It also assists with adrenal function. Cholesterol is used to make the sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen which is why it controls your sex drive and libido. The liver uses cholesterol to make bile, a fluid that plays a very important role in the processing and digestion of fatty acids. Cholesterol serves three primary purposes:
1. It assists in bile production in the liver.
2. It is a building block for human tissues.
3. It aids in the production of sex hormones.
Your brain also requires Cholesterol to function. The main role is to maintain the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of vital hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. Remember Vita D is vital especially in winter months. There are 3 TYPES of Cholesterol. HDL, Non-HDL, and LDL. A balanced HDL level is approximately 40, Non-HDL level should be less than 130, and LDL level should be less than 100. Average total cholesterol levels in adults is approximately 120 to 200. While 200 is on the high side for some this can be normal if it doesn’t fluctuate.
Cholesterol Adjustments
If your Cholesterol is high, it is a sign that you need to adjust your diet to help lower the levels naturally. Diet is the leading cause of high Cholesterol. If your Cholesterol is 199 (near the high limit) you may be prescribed a Statin drug from your physician. Statin’s will artificially change your body chemistry to try and lower cholesterol & this affects “many” other chemical balances. If you choose this route, be aware of the following facts. Some people’s levels run higher that others 175 to 200. If you do not see your level rising over time this may be normal. Prescriptions are not 100% natural and can cause side effects.
Prescription Medications and Sex Drive
RX medications including statins will affect other chemical symphonies including Sex Drive. Speak with your doctor about the primary side effects of the RX drugs they suggest for your condition. Many RX’s will list the potential side effects which are. Low sex drive, Lethargic, Brain fog, swelling, and stomach issues, and they can also suppress your Immune System.
Sex Drive and Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms are filled with nutrients such as riboflavin, B-2, folate, B-9, thiamine, B-1, pantothenic acid, B-5, niacin, B-3, and many other B vitamins. Polysaccharides and beta glucans are also very healthy. Mushrooms also contain vitamins & minerals including zinc, magnesium, copper, potassium, selenium, phosphorous, and antioxidants.
Mycelium
Activated Mycelium in many of these mushrooms helps to lower cortisol which is a stress hormone in the brain. Nutrients in mushrooms, especially Lions Mane medicinal mushrooms help with ATP which has been shown to increase oxygen to the muscles. This makes them great for libido & sex drive. Medicinal Mushrooms are chemical balancers for millions of membranes helping to maintain chemical balance in the cells. Millions of people over 50 use Lions Mane for libido.
Conclusion
Consider Medicinal Mushrooms before you go on a statin drug to see if your body will respond naturally as well as changing your diet. Less red meat, cheese and dairy often is all that is required to make a useful change to the body. The reduction of cheese and red meat along with more polyphenols like healthy greens, broccoli, asparagus, sprouts, spinach and kale can make significant changes with not RX drugs. Take time to watch Game Changers documentary where they show cholesterol reduction in 90 days.
