Overweight people have reduced sexual desire because their sex hormones are not stimulated due to excess weight. Studies have shown that 30% of the people who are obese indicate problem of reduced sexual desire. This is because fat deposition in the arteries result in reduced blood supply to penis thereby preventing erection. So it is necessary to lose weight for promoting good sexual health.

It is not right to think that if the person has become old then it is end of his sexual life. Instead many people believe that there is no relation between sexual health and age. Studies have shown that people are sexually active even at the age of 80. For a person to be sexually active in old age he must take care of his health in his younger days. An older person must always be ready to accept some physical, social and psychological factors which can cause impact on his sexual health.

For good sexual health consume food that are rich in L-arginine such as walnuts, cashews, peanuts, green leafy vegetables, soybeans and several others. Also consume food enriched with zinc because zinc increase fertility, improves the sense of tasting and smelling, and brings increase in sex drive. Brown rice, cheese are some rich source of zinc.
