Not only limited to food, medicine, and exercise alone. In fact there is also a diet to increase the passion and energy of making love to couples. Yes, Dr. Anna Cabeca from Emory University, and also an expert in the field of gynecologists said that the ketogenic diet serves to increase the body's passion and energy.
What is the ketogenic diet?
The ketogenic diet is a low carbohydrate diet program originally designed in 1920 for epilepsy patients by researchers working at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Researchers found that diets (similar to fasting patterns) that avoid consuming foods containing carbohydrates, can help reduce the number of seizures suffered.
In addition, the ketogenic diet has other positive effects on reducing body fat, blood sugar levels, cholesterol and can even control hunger. Nutritional intake that must be consumed ranges from the dose of food which 60% contains fat, 30% protein and 20% fiber or carbohydrates in small amounts.
Some of the benefits of the ketogenic diet
1. Increase the passion and energy of making love
Many women in the pre-menopausal period have had difficulty increasing their sex hormones. Unfortunately, there are still many women who think that a high-carbohydrate diet means they can increase their adrenal glands. That's wrong, because actually the gland will release more stress hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol. Stress can actually reduce mood and can interfere with mood.
Food fat is very important for regulating your body's sex hormones, and on a ketogenic diet you will eat lots of fish, poultry, avocado, olive oil or coconut oil and other healthy fats. Healthy fat can also increase the absorption of vitamin D and is effective in triggering the rise of sex hormones.
2. Lose weight
After you enter and can follow the ketogenic diet, then you will be in the ketosis stage, this stage can relieve inflammation from the body. One study saw a positive effect of the ketogenic diet for 24 weeks in obese patients. The results found that following the ketogenic diet significantly, can reduce body weight and body mass index (BMI), while improving body lipids and blood glucose levels.
3. More everyday energy
Basically, the ketogenic diet system is useful for balancing blood sugar levels and for increasing daily energy. Well, the body actually prefers ketones to make energy. Ketones can also significantly reduce free radical damage, and can protect your mitochondrial cells. Well, then the ketogenic diet can optimize daily energy.
4. Prevent erectile dysfunction
By minimizing and optimizing blood sugar levels, you can afford and potentially prevent complications of metabolic syndrome during your ketogenic diet. One study found a positive impact on the ketogenic diet among people who suffer from type 2 diabetes.
The results found that the ketogenic diet increases glucose concentration dramatically so that it can reduce the consumption of diabetes drugs, which also affects the reduction in the risk of male erectile dysfunction.
