If you want to age well, donโt wait until your skin starts changing to care about what you eat.
A few simple foods can make a pretty big difference when you eat them regularly.
Here are some worth keeping around:
1. Kiwi
Loaded with vitamin C and other nutrients that support normal collagen production and overall skin health.
2. Dark chocolate
A small amount of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content gives you flavonoids and other plant compounds with antioxidant activity.
3. Salmon
One of the easiest ways to get omega-3 fats, which play important roles in heart and brain health.
4. Tomatoes
Rich in lycopene, a plant compound that has antioxidant properties. Cooking tomatoes can actually make lycopene easier for your body to absorb.
5. Blueberries
Tiny fruit, big nutrition. Theyโre packed with anthocyanins and other compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
6. Sweet potatoes
A great source of beta-carotene, which your body can convert into vitamin A for normal skin and immune function.
8. It doesn't cause sexual problems, but how you do it can
Occasional masturbation for pleasure or release will never cause sexual problems. The trouble starts with three habits:
โข Addiction: your sex drive shifts from closeness and connection to just relieving tension.
โข A death grip: gripping your penis too tightly trains your body to need that pressure.
โข Relying on images: your brain learns to get aroused only with erotic pictures in front of you.
Masturbation doesn't cause premature ejaculation. But rushing to finish every time reinforces the problem and makes it worse.
8 MASTURBATION MYTHS AND FACTS EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW
Most of what men believe about masturbation came from locker-room talk, not doctors.
1. It doesn't shrink your testicles
7. It doesn't shrink your penis
Doctors don't list masturbation as a cause of penis shrinkage. Some men notice their penis looks smaller when they masturbate a lot. The cause is stress, not the habit itself.
Masturbating several times a day out of need is close to addiction, and men in that state are usually stressed. Stress raises adrenaline, which tightens your pelvic floor and narrows your blood vessels. Less blood reaches your penis, so it pulls in, especially when soft.
9. Eat to cool inflammation, and eat light at night
An anti-inflammatory diet calms inflammation throughout your body, including your prostate, and helps slow its ageing. In the evening, keep meals light and low in fat and carbs. Heavy evening meals irritate your gut, which worsens prostate symptoms and has you up at night to pee.
A swollen prostate is bigger, stiffer and inflamed. Eat clean and light at night, cut coffee, tea, alcohol and chilli, fix constipation, move every day, manage your weight and add proven plants. If that's not enough, medication and then surgery are the next steps.
ENLARGED PROSTATE? WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
Up at night to pee and struggling to get going? These steps take the pressure off your prostate.
1. Cut back on bladder irritants
8. Tackle excess weight
Obesity is a disease in its own right, not just a matter of willpower. It causes inflammation throughout the body, including the prostate. Belly fat also presses down on your bladder and prostate, which makes symptoms worse, and obesity is linked to a higher risk of prostate cancer. Treat it seriously and see a doctor who specialises in it.
