Inside Out
High-fat diet can cause impotence

By Cory Quirino
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:07:00 07/07/2009

Filed Under: Food, Health

DO you know that men who eat food high in cholesterol are at great risk of becoming impotent?

Studies have shown that men aged 25-83 whose cholesterol levels are higher than 240 mg/dl are twice as likely to have trouble achieving or maintaining an erection than men with cholesterol levels below 180 mg/dl.

Cleansing cures

A high-fat diet of saturated fats/animal meats narrows arteries and blocks blood flow to your heart. These are the same arteries that carry blood to the penis.
Note: Blood has to reach the penis for an erection to take place.

Tips
1. Load up on lean meat, poultry, fish.
2. Exercise daily.
3. Take a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement.
4. Increase vegetable/fruit intake.
5. Don’t smoke. Smoking limits blood flow and contributes to blockages in the arteries.
6. Try a new, potent combination of five mushrooms such as reishi, shiitake, agaricus, maitake, cordyceps (regarded by Chinese, Japanese herbal natural medicine experts as effective).

Incontinence

Afflicting mostly women, incontinence is defined as the “lack of bladder and/or bowel control.”

Stress incontinence–leakage of small amounts of urine when you lift or strain, cough/sneeze caused by menopause, pregnancy, pelvic injury and excessive weight.
Urgency incontinence–urgent need to urinate caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease.

Overflow incontinence–spilling over of small amounts of urine when the bladder is very full.

Causes: urinary blockage, nerve damage, spinal cord injury.

Remedies: Pelvic muscle exercises.

Kegel exercise can strengthen your pelvic muscle if you do it regularly.

Here’s how: Imagine that you are trying to hold back bowel movement by tightening the muscles around your anus.

These muscles are powerful. Exercising them without involving your legs, buttocks or belly muscles will give you back not only bladder control but also more orgasms. Start exercising—contract, release, contract, release at least 100 times a day.

Smoking affects your bladder, so don’t smoke. A smoker’s cough places a great amount of stress on your bladder. The tobacco itself affects the urethra and bladder.

Coconut water therapy– Drink one glass of coconut water daily to cleanse your bladder.

Red juice cleansing–a synergetic blend of 30 vegetables and fruits, including sambong and cranberry will expel toxins from your bladder.

The amazing recovery of 36-year-old Julius Castillo from stage five chronic renal failure after consuming two bottles of red juice in 10 days was featured in a TV show (red juice is available at World of Wellness, V-mall, SM Fairview and all Mercury drugstores).

Irritability

Declare freedom from mood swings, outbursts of anger and impatience. Relax. Take vitamin B.

More tips

Declare a few minutes of “Don’t bother me.” Do slow breathing, close your eyes and visualize your stress is gone.

Take an anti-stress capsule called Morin, made from natural moringa, known to cleanse the blood and boost iron levels.

Affirm: “I declare my freedom from illness.”

Love and light!

CQ WOW will open at SM Fairview. The public is invited to Wellness Day with Cory on July 8, 11 a.m.-8 p.m. at Annex One. Free of charge. Call 3323864/7233878.
