According to new research from Germany and China, a certain way of eating could contribute to libido growth – especially when age -related decline.
Post can stimulate photo sexual appetite: Truth (archive)
A German-Chinese research has analyzed whether a specific diet could help prevent libido and male fertility, because low sexual appetite is common in older men and can lead to conditions such as hypoactive sexual desire (HSDD), writes parade.com.
To test this theory, the researchers studied groups of male mice – some young people, some older – and divided them into two groups. The first, which we will call group A, ate normally whenever he wanted, while the second (group B) followed a strict diet.
Some mice followed this diet for months, since they were young, while others followed it for just six weeks. Throughout the process, the researchers watched how often the mice were trying to mate, how healthy their sperm, their testosterone levels and how much tryptophan and serotonin (chemicals in the brain) each had in the blood and brain.
After group B ate regularly one day and fasted the next day (repeating the model during the experiment), the researchers found that this has constantly improved the sexual behavior of male mice. The older mice that fasted intermittently were also more likely to reproduce than those who ate freely.
However, it is important to note that the growth was not in fertility or the result of sperm or better hormonal levels: the post has not improved these measures and sometimes even worsened them.
Why could intermittent post to increase sexual appetite
As for the reason why the intermittent post seems to increase sexual appetite (at least in mice)? According to the study, the intermittent post decreased the level of tryptophan and the level of serotonin in the brain. It may seem accidental, but tryptophan is an amino acid that helps to produce serotonin – a chemical in the brain that can actually inhibit sexual desire.
Moreover, the intermittent post seemed to redirect the tryptophan to energy muscle during fasting, leaving less available for the brain. This led to decreased level of serotonin, which essentially raised “The brakes” sexual behavior.
The researchers confirmed this by injection of 5-HTP mice, a supplement that helps the brain produce more serotonin. Once the serotonin levels of mice increased again, their sexual appetite began to decrease.
This study reminds us that what we eat and how we eat can affect not only our bariatric health, but also libido, behavior, mood and energy level. It is also a convincing argument for the intermittent post as a natural option, without medicines, to stimulate sexual appetite – especially for anyone who is facing decreases in age.
