Hello there, Modern Man. Do you know that hydration can really

affect your sex drive 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 supports 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 vessel to constrict or get smaller, impairing blood

flow to the genitals and also making it difficult to achieve

and maintain erection, 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 to have headaches, and even a depressed mood, all which can

really make sexual desire and less receptive to even a sexual

activity. So the libido and sexual performance is important

because it's related to hormone and then less water also

contribute to less energy and also impair blood flow. We know

that if you have decreased blood flow, that's gonna affect your

erection. So recommendation is stay consistently hydrated.

Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to

suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even

defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of

not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the

truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to

figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program

is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and

restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and

error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you

deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's

get this journey started together. Check out the course

How much water should you take? So I want 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 and 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 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. But I'm

thinking like, well, how much is the 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 don't

have to say to yourself, Well, I need to drink 4 of this a day.

One of my patients did this. He bought, like, 4 of this, and he

put it on the counter, and then he count how many he drink in a

day. And if he needs to drink 4 or 5, 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 dehydration can also

cause dizziness and light headers as well, too, and even

lack of concentration, because sometimes you may feel a little

tired today, you may blame it on fatigue, and then 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 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 that water can 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 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 bathroom. So

when you're drinking alcohol or 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.
