00:00 All of us are thriving to be healthy and a lot of us who has got this tummy are

00:05 thinking about perhaps reducing our weight and at the same time enhancing

00:12 your sexual dysfunction

00:14 What exactly are the problems associating obesity and also sexual

00:25 dysfunction? Let's scrutinize that. In fact the obesity with BMI of more than 40

00:33 which is a condition which is considered as extreme obesity, the erectile

00:38 dysfunction is can be as high as five times. So men who encounter this problem

00:44 obviously are at risk of many problems. This include other comorbidities such as

00:50 diabetes and high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and low testosterone and

00:57 all these combination is a condition called metabolic syndrome. Metabolic

01:04 syndrome is not particularly healthy for you because number one it actually

01:09 reduces the blood flow to the penis and this is a condition called atherosclerosis

01:15 Excess amount of cholesterol, sugar and also high blood pressure tend to have an

01:23 impact on damaging the actual integrity of the blood vessel. When the arteries

01:28 undergo a atherosclerotic changes, it will be narrow and the first organ to

01:35 actually bear the brunt of that obstruction actually is the penis

01:41 perhaps it has the lower diameter. As a result of that when men begin to have

01:49 problem with erectile dysfunction, it actually is the beginning of a problems

01:53 that they may face in the future. So what I say is that when there is an early

02:00 problems with hard-on, it might be an early sign of a broken heart. So what are

02:08 the solutions? In fact it's as simple as living a healthy lifestyle. Cut down on

02:14 fatty food, cut down on sugary food and carbohydrate and also alcohol

02:20 consumption. Increase your fluid intake, exercise regularly, control your blood

02:26 pressure and also control the diabetes or high cholesterol. As a result of that

02:32 there will generally be improvement of your weight and we all know that the BMI

02:41 improvement as close it gets to the optimal level of 25, then there's

02:47 generally an improvement in overall health and also sexual function. In

02:53 keeping with our continuous theme of New Year resolution, you might be somebody

02:58 who's vaping, thinking that vaping will have no impact on your sexual function.
