The Role of Lifestyle Changes

Improve your sleep hygiene. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep nightly. Regular sleep improves hormone balance, crucial for sexual health.

Manage your weight. Obesity contributes to erectile dysfunction. Losing even 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve function.

Prioritize regular exercise. At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week boosts circulation and overall health.

Reduce stress. Chronic stress impacts sexual function. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.

Limit alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol interferes with erectile function. Moderate or abstain from alcohol.

Quit smoking. Smoking damages blood vessels, negatively impacting blood flow required for erections. Quitting is one of the best things you can do for your overall health.
