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 --> 00:00:42,870 Hello there, Modern Man. Do you know that hydration can really 10 00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,890 affect your sex drive and even your erection. Well, stay tuned 11 00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:51,180 to find out. Now, hydration means water intake. On a daily 12 00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:55,680 basis can have a significant influence on your sex life, 13 00:00:55,830 --> 00:01:00,420 especially your libido or your sex drive, your erection and 14 00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:06,480 overall satisfaction in your sex life for both men and women. 15 00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:09,750 Now let's start with why. Why did this happen? Because an 16 00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:13,800 adequate amount of water supports hormone production, 17 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,400 meaning testosterone. Testosterone needs water in 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,010 order to be made in the body, and testosterone is crucial for 19 00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:27,570 the male libido and sex function. And water is essential 20 00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:32,550 for blood flow. It is essential for maintaining blood volume and 21 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:37,260 proper circulation. Dehydration reduces blood volume and can 22 00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:41,220 cause blood vessel to constrict or get smaller, impairing blood 23 00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:46,440 flow to the genitals and also making it difficult to achieve 24 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,970 and maintain erection, especially in men, and also even 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,490 arousal in women. Now hydration or water is vital for natural 26 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,920 lubrication, because dehydration can lead to dryness in women, 27 00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:08,970 and dehydration can lead to less semen volume in men. And also 28 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,200 dehydration or less water can contribute to your mood and 29 00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:17,850 energy level, causing you to feel tired, irritable, causing 30 00:02:17,850 --> 00:02:22,320 you to have headaches, and even a depressed mood, all which can 31 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,570 really make sexual desire and less receptive to even a sexual 32 00:02:27,570 --> 00:02:32,850 activity. So the libido and sexual performance is important 33 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,420 because it's related to hormone and then less water also 34 00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:41,370 contribute to less energy and also impair blood flow. We know 35 00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:44,760 that if you have decreased blood flow, that's gonna affect your 36 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:50,220 erection. So recommendation is stay consistently hydrated. 37 00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:54,300 Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to 38 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:59,430 suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even 39 00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:04,380 defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of 40 00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:08,490 not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the 41 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:13,800 truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to 42 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,870 figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program 43 00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:24,120 is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and 44 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,710 restoration.

It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's 47 00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:42,060 get this journey started together. Check out the course 48 00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:46,530 at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there. 49 00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:51,310 How much water should you take? So I want to give you some 50 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:55,750 practical guidelines here. How much water should you take that 51 00:03:55,750 --> 00:04:00,280 is adequate? Well, they say whatever your weight is, half of 52 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,950 it and ounces. Let's say you're 180 pound man. Half of 180 is 53 00:04:05,950 --> 00:04:11,320 90. You should drink 90 ounces of water a day. Typically, the 54 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,830 recommendation is 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. But I'm 55 00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,580 thinking like, well, how much is the glass? Like small glass, a 56 00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:24,040 wine glass, or 20 ounce glass. So I typically just say about 57 00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:28,690 half of your body weight in ounces. And typically, like what 58 00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:34,030 I have right here, this cup is 20 ounces. If you're 180 pound 59 00:04:34,030 --> 00:04:37,360 man, you need 90 ounces, and you need to drink about at least 60 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,010 four of this a day. So it's good to get, like, water bottle that 61 00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:45,640 has some predictable volume that you know, so that way you don't 62 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520 have to say to yourself, Well, I need to drink 4 of this a day. 63 00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:52,270 One of my patients did this. He bought, like, 4 of this, and he 64 00:04:52,270 --> 00:04:55,990 put it on the counter, and then he count how many he drink in a 65 00:04:55,990 --> 00:05:01,060 day. And if he needs to drink 4 or 5, then he just go through it 66 00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:03,790 throughout the day. You will notice that when you have 67 00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:08,590 adequate hydration, you have better energy, you sleep better, 68 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,460 your mood is actually feel better. And of course, you will 69 00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:16,960 go to the bathroom more and your urine color typically should be 70 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:21,190 lighter than a yellowish color. They would say probably a little 71 00:05:21,190 --> 00:05:25,840 lighter than lemonade color. Know that dehydration can also 72 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,020 cause dizziness and light headers as well, too, and even 73 00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:32,590 lack of concentration, because sometimes you may feel a little 74 00:05:32,590 --> 00:05:36,400 tired today, you may blame it on fatigue, and then you drink some 75 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,670 coffee where maybe you should start drinking some water first, 76 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:44,350 before you drink that coffee. I'm guilty of that. I should be 77 00:05:44,350 --> 00:05:48,280 drinking more water if I'm busy during the day, I may not have 78 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:52,330 adequate water intake. First thing I do is I feel tired, is I 79 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,510 grab my water bottle and drink the whole thing, probably half 80 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:59,230 of it, pretty quickly. Just so that you know that water can can 81 00:05:59,230 --> 00:06:03,490 really contribute to your sex drive, your sexual function, and 82 00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:08,770 just overall mood and everyday feeling. So think about drinking 83 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,750 adequate water about half of your body weight in ounces. 84 00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:17,110 Especially just know if you're exercising, you probably need to 85 00:06:17,140 --> 00:06:20,950 increase your water intake by about 20%. And now, with the 86 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:24,370 weather getting warmer, you may want to increase your water 87 00:06:24,370 --> 00:06:28,360 intake by 20% as well. The hotter it is, the more water you 88 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,340 need to take and know also that alcohol and caffeine, like 89 00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:37,780 coffee, is a diuretic. Means that it increases how many times 90 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:40,390 you go to the bathroom, the volume you go to bathroom. So 91 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:43,810 when you're drinking alcohol or drinking coffee, make sure that 92 00:06:43,810 --> 00:06:48,340 you also increase your water intake. So things to think about 93 00:06:48,370 --> 00:06:52,840 as the weather changes and as you're going to the weekend with 94 00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:56,260 increasing alcohol intake, and if you're taking caffeine, how 95 00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:59,620 much is more than caffeine? More than three cups of coffee a day. 96 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,130 Okay, so I hope you find this valuable. Let me know what you 97 00:07:04,130 --> 00:07:07,850 think.
