3. Engage in Stress-Relieving Activities
Consider holistic treatments to do away with stress. In an anxious state, the body cannot relax, and must work harder to channel blood to the penis. Stress-management techniques like yoga, meditation and exercise all aid in cardiovascular and emotional wellness.
Exercise is one of the most important lifestyle factors when it comes to male impotence. Physical activity lends a greater sense of well-being, increases self-esteem, lowers blood pressure and stress, and improves mood and overall cardiovascular health, all of which play important roles in healthy sexual functioning. Start with a brisk two-mile walk three times a week, at a pace that is comfortable but gets your heart rate up. Do not overdo it; continued, rigorous exercise can actually lower your testosterone level.
Find an activity that is pleasurable to you and get into a routine. If kickboxing helps eliminate stress, try that. If you have a hard time shutting negative thoughts out of your head, look into transcendental meditation, guided imagery or mindfulness-based stress reduction. These are all recommended in conjunction with psychotherapy.
