Sexologist, andrologist Ekaterina Makarova and nutritionist Sergey Oblozhko called donuts, a sedentary lifestyle and internal complexes - erection killers. This was reported by the website News.ru.
The first place of the main enemies of male power was shared by hamburgers, nuggets and fries. According to experts, these goodies contain a large amount of trans fats (harmful substitutes for fat) and simple carbohydrates.
“Excess fat and carbohydrates leads to disruption of fat metabolism. Bad cholesterol begins to accumulate in the body. It is an antagonist of testosterone, the male sex hormone, which is responsible for a stable erection,”explained sexologist Ekaterina Makarova.

Doctors say that a man's belly fat contains an enzyme called aromatase, which converts the male sex hormone testosterone into female estrogen. “A man not only begins to become obese in the female pattern - his breasts and buttocks grow, but his potency also decreases,” Sergei Oblozhko noted.
Low physical activity also contributes to weight gain and decreased potency. Lack of movement leads to stagnation of venous blood in the small pelvis, which creates the prerequisites for the start of inflammatory processes. “For example, the appearance of prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). And this diagnosis leads to impotence,”said Makarova.
Also on the list of the main enemies of potency are alcohol and tobacco products, which reduce testosterone production. In addition, they lead to a systematic spasm of blood vessels, including the penis, which prevents an erection.

Soybeans and greens are also a serious threat. It's all about organic acids, which hinder the absorption of useful minerals, in particular zinc and selenium, which are involved in the production of testosterone.
Sexologist, andrologist Ekaterina Makarova named another reason for the weakening of male power in modern society. This is the fear of men to look "not macho" and constant doubts about their capabilities. The stronger sex compares himself to friends, watches porn films and evaluates himself meticulously. “A careful, scrupulous measurement of oneself begins with a caliper, a stopwatch. He feels that he is not up to macho level. These thoughts are poisonous. They kill its potency in the embryo,”the expert explained.
The specialist believes that men forget that real strength is the ability to take responsibility for their loved ones and loyalty to their beloved woman, and not the thickness or length of manhood.
