home Bless you Eating nuts augurs to have better sex according to experts
World.- The goodness of nuts on our body is nothing new: good to keep at bay your cholesterol, important source of minerals and healthy fats, decrease cardiovascular risk, are rich in protein… but now we add one more of a side that will surely encourage more than one to add them into their daily diet. Consumption of at least 6 grams of nuts a day can improve sexual function.
According to a publication by the SINC news agency, experts from the Networked Biomedical Research Center for the Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition, belonging to the Human Nutrition Unit of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), have demonstrated this as part of the first nutritional intervention study in healthy and reproductive-age men. Your goal? Find out if there was an effect of regular nut consumption on sexual function, and they have succeeded in demonstrating it: the results highlight that a Western diet supplemented with the intake of nuts, hazelnuts or almonds could improve sexual desire and orgasmic function.
The study is part of the FERTINUTS project, which is created to assess the effects of these foods on semen quality. 83 men offered to do so. They all had to follow a Western diet (poor in fruit and vegetables and rich in animal fats). Participants were divided into two groups: one maintained his usual diet for 14 weeks, while the other completed his diet with 60 grams daily of a mixture of nuts, hazelnuts and almonds. Each had then completed a 15-question questionnaire on sexual function, internationally validated (known as IIEF-15) at the beginning and end of the intervention period. So, what were the results?
Those who follow this type of unhealthy diet, if at least add a portion of nuts on a regular basis, can help improve lost sex drive and even improve orgasmic function. The researchers also note that more participating studies are required to confirm these results and clarify the possible mechanisms involved in these benefits.
