I'll 4 00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:15,150 do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how 5 00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:18,330 it affects men of all ages and backgrounds.

See you on the inside. 9 00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:41,340 Hello there, Modern Man. In today's episode, we're going to 10 00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:46,230 talk about toothpaste and how toothpaste can affect your 11 00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:51,270 erection. Because I am so surprised how something that we 12 00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:55,410 use every day of our life, as always we can brush our teeth, 13 00:00:55,410 --> 00:00:59,700 or our parents brush our teeth, can really negatively affect our 14 00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,890 health. Stay tuned to find out how does fluoride toothpaste 15 00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:08,190 affect your health and your sex life. 16 00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:12,800 Fluoride, is what's in toothpaste, right? It kills the 17 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,310 bacteria in our mouth, and therefore it helped with 18 00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:20,510 preserving our teeth and also help with cleaner breath. But do 19 00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:25,700 you know that fluoride can disrupt the microbiome, which is 20 00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:30,410 all the bacteria that we need to survive, that it kills the good 21 00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:35,270 bacteria in our mouth? The good bacteria in our mouth is needed 22 00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:40,880 for us to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide increase blood 23 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,010 flow. Then blood flow makes erection better. Blood flow is 24 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,320 good for everything. Also fluoride can disrupt the 25 00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:57,260 synthesis or how nitric oxide is being made in the human cells. 26 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,140 So it has three ways where you can disrupt it. It kills the 27 00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:02,420 good bacteria in your mouth, what you need to make nitric 28 00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:07,670 oxide. And then, number two, it disrupts how nitric oxide is 29 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:12,050 made in the cell. And number three, it interferes with the 30 00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:17,150 nitric oxide enzyme, which then interferes with the production 31 00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:22,370 of nitric oxide. So it really is bad. Also, do you know that 32 00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:27,920 fluoride exposure can lead to reduced expression of the enzyme 33 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,030 which then make your nitric oxide in the blood vessels of 34 00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:35,720 your whole entire body? So what does this really mean? What it 35 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,290 means is that reduced nitric oxide level can increase your 36 00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:46,130 blood pressure and produce poor blood flow. So another bad thing 37 00:02:46,130 --> 00:02:50,270 is that by the time you're 40 years old, 50% actually of your 38 00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:54,710 nitric oxide production is decreased due to age. So you 39 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:59,810 need to do everything you can to optimize your body to make and 40 00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:05,630 convert nitric oxide, because nitric oxide is pivotal to your 41 00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:10,490 heart health, blood pressure, and it's pivotal to your 42 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,830 erection. It will also impair sleep, because nitric oxide 43 00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:21,230 production helps make melatonin, and melatonin helps with sleep. 44 00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:25,550 And sleep, you need sleep so your body can make testosterone, 45 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,970 and you need sleep to heal physically and mentally. 46 00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:33,220 So what can you do? Well, you gotta brush your teeth, right? 47 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Well, luckily, there are fluoride free alternatives such 48 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,310 as Tom's toothpaste that I have a link down below, right here. 49 00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:45,820 Check down here for the fluoride-free toothpaste that 50 00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:48,910 you can use that doesn't have any fluoride, which then 51 00:03:48,910 --> 00:03:53,620 maintain the healthy oral microbiome, or meaning all the 52 00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:57,070 bacteria in your mouth. And you can make nitric oxide again, 53 00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:03,040 too. And if you're a naturalist, you can use coconut oil, oregano 54 00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:07,750 oil, which should also help with cleaning your teeth, but also 55 00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:12,700 not disrupting the nitric oxide production. So while fluoride 56 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,420 does prevent cavity, it's important to weigh against the 57 00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:20,290 potential impact of nitric oxide production. Sometimes just 58 00:04:20,290 --> 00:04:23,740 rinsing your mouth with salt water is also helpful. I want to 59 00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:27,460 mention also that not only is fluoride toothpaste can be 60 00:04:27,460 --> 00:04:32,140 harmful, but taking fluoride mouthwash. Fluoride mouthwash 61 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,010 also does the same thing. It also kills your bacteria, and 62 00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:40,630 therefore will affect blood flow, and therefore will affect 63 00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:44,170 not only your health, your blood pressure, but also blood flow as 64 00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:48,250 well, and therefore your sex life. So try to use fluoride 65 00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:51,220 free toothpaste, fluoride free mouthwash. 66 00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:55,380 Also, believe it or not, some of the antacids that you take, like 67 00:04:55,380 --> 00:05:01,890 Pepcid, Tagamet, Lexium, Protonix, and Zantac inhibit the 68 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,480 acts of production in your stomach. You need the acid in 69 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,490 your stomach to produce nitric oxide, so therefore you should 70 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,170 stop taking antacid if you can. And how do you do that? 71 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,000 Sometimes eating a Mediterranean diet or a healthy diet will 72 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,260 actually prevent you from having reflux or gastritis. Changing 73 00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:31,350 your diet actually goes a long way in helping you get off of 74 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:35,070 those medications as well too. So I know sometimes you need 75 00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:37,830 that medication, but sometimes you change your diet. Drinking 76 00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:42,870 less alcohol will also help as well. And eating more of a less 77 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:47,100 fatty diet will also help with the reflux as well. So check out 78 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:49,980 the Mediterranean diet down here below. I'm going to leave it 79 00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:53,850 here, and then also the link to the non-fluoride toothpaste and 80 00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:57,930 the non-fluoride mouthwash. This can be easily done. You use 81 00:05:57,930 --> 00:06:01,200 toothpaste anyway, so might as well use one that's non 82 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,650 fluoride, that's good for nitric oxide production and 83 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,580 non-fluoride mouthwash. I'm doing this now because I didn't 84 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:12,240 know until I started learning about it, so I'm now using it 85 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,080 daily as well. And I used to take Pepcid. I no longer take 86 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,940 Pepcid anymore, and I don't need to if I eat a diet full of 87 00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:24,510 vegetables and salad, which is the Mediterranean diet. 88 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,940 So having said that, I hope that you find this is useful, and no 89 00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:34,320 man that you do not have to figure it out yourself, and that 90 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:40,260 there is alternative to ED and there are solutions you may not 91 00:06:40,260 --> 00:06:44,220 know about it.
