Foreign hello there modern Man. Do you know that hydration can really affect your sex life and even your erection? Well, stay tuned to find out. Now hydration means water intake on a daily basis can have a significant influence on your sex life, especially your libido or your sex drive, your erection and overall satisfaction in your sex life for both men and women. Now let's start with why? Why did this happen? Because an adequate amount of water support hormone production, meaning testosterone. Testosterone needs water in order to be made in the body and testosterone is crucial for the male libido and sex function. And water is essential for blood flow. It is essential for maintaining blood volume and proper circulation. Dehydration reduces blood volume and can cause blood vessels to constrict or get smaller, impairing blood flow to the genitals and also making it difficult to achieve and maintain erection and especially in men, and also even arousal in women. Now hydration or water is vital for natural lubrication because dehydration can lead to dryness in women and dehydration can lead to less semen volume in men. And also dehydration or less water can contribute to your mood and energy level, causing you to feel tired, irritable, causing you deaf headaches and even a depressed mood, all which can really make sexual desire and less receptive to even sexual activity. So the libido and sexual performance is important because it's related to hormones. And then less water also contribute to less energy and also impairment blood flow. We know that if you have decreased blood flow, that's going to affect your erection. So recommendation is stay consistently hydrated.

Check out the course@getwoodnow.com I'll see you there. How much water should you take? So I'm going to give you some practical guidelines here. How much water should you take that is adequate? Well, they say whatever your weight is half of it in ounces. Let's say you're 180 pound man. Half of 180 is 90. You should drink 90 ounces of water a day. Typically the recommendation is eight to ten glasses of water a day. But I'm thinking like, well how much is a glass? Like small glass, a wine glass or 20 ounce glass. So I typically just say about half of your body weight in ounces. And typically like what I have right here, this cup is 20 ounces. If you're 180 pound man, you need 90 ounces and you need to drink about at least four of this a day. So it's good to get like water bottle that has some predictable volume that you know. So that way you're going to say to yourself, well I need to drink four of this a day. One of my patients did this. He bought like four of this and he put it on the counter and then he counted how many he drink in a day. And if he needs to drink four or five, then he just go through it. Throughout the day you will notice that when you have adequate hydration, you have better energy, you sleep better, your mood is actually feel better and of course you will go to the bathroom more. And your urine color typically should be lighter than a yellowish color. They would say probably a little lighter than lemonade color. Know that low dehydration can also cause dizziness and lightheaded as well too, and even lack of concentration. Because sometimes you may feel a little tired in a day and you may blame it on fatigue or that you drink some coffee where maybe you should start drinking some water first before you drink that coffee. I'm guilty of that. I should be drinking more water. If I'm busy during the day, I may not have adequate water intake. First thing I do is if I feel tired is I grab my water bottle and drink the whole thing, probably half of it pretty quickly. Just so that you know, water can really contribute to your sex drive, your sexual function and just overall mood and everyday feeling. So think about drinking adequate water about half of your body weight in ounces especially just Know that if you're exercising, you probably need to increase your water intake by about 20%. And now with the weather getting warmer, you may want to increase your water intake by 20% as well. The hotter it is, the more water you need to take. And know also that alcohol and caffeine, like coffee is a diuretic, means that it increases how many times you go to the bathroom, the volume you go to the bathroom. So when you're drinking alcohol, drinking coffee, make sure that you also increase your water intake. So things to think about as the weather changes and as you're going to the weekend with increasing alcohol intake. And if you're taking caffeine, how much is more than caffeine? More than three cups of coffee a day. Okay, so I hope you find this valuable. Let me know what you think.
