Self Introspection In The Mirror?

Most men don’t spend a lot of time primping themselves in the mirror. They think it is “a women’s thing”. We know gents we only look in the mirror only when we are shaving apart from that it hardly ever happens. Although it is not all men who do this, there are certainly men who are exceptions to this rule of not primping their face in the mirror. The simple routines that men follow each morning; wake up, take a bath, brushing of the teeth and then apply deodorant then leave for work. No time for the mirror. The little time that we as men spend in the mirror, it is a safe bet that we give the rest of our body less attention for inspection. However for those men who are friends with the mirror they are always aware of what’s going on with their bodies. They spot pimples in the face quick and try to get rid of them. The mirror statement we have opened this topic with is all about looking after your body and spotting changes quickly. Men who have a keen eye and a bit of flexibility may have spotted some unusual lumps or bumps speckling down there. When you give yourself time to inspect your body and spot any changes it will help you be aware of what’s happening with your body. When you do notice some bumps, some might be a cause for concern, many are harmless and there is no reason for you to be alarmed.Doing regular inspections of your genital area does not only help keep certain bumps away, it also encourages you to get up close and personal with your manhood so that if a harmful lump is brewing.

(such as STD or cancerous tumor) it is found right away, and immediate treatment is initiated. You might have identified some small white or yellow spots on your penis while doing the inspection. They are medically called Fordyce’s spots and they are harmless and cannot be passed on to a partner. They are very tiny and cover a large area which means if you see a solo white bump it is certainly not a Fordyce’s spot. The spots are simply a type of gland and are not associated with any illness or disease; you don’t have to panic once you spot them. They are not transferable from one person to another and they can appear in both men and women of any age. You will notice them on the edge of your lips. To feel them just run your finger across the edges of your lips. In men you will find them on your penis and scrotum. Females will notice them in their labia as well Fordyce’s spots come naturally and they are not a health hazard or an STD infection. There is no medical reason to treat them. Although some men do seek treatment for cosmetic reasons because they are not fond of these spots. Apart from that cosmetic reason there is no other reason to remove them. For men who have prominent spots or are finding themselves self-conscious about the bumps, can seek treatment to lessen the appearance. Before you decide to get these bumps removed, be warned that it is expensive and may not entirely eliminate the bumps.

If you consult the right specialist you might be able to get a vaporizing laser treatment or electro desiccation of the area to smooth the skin and improve its appearance. Pulsed dye lasers have also been used with some success, just note that this treatment is expensive. If cost is not an issue for you then go ahead with treatment. For those who can’t afford treatment, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You just have to accept the Fordyce’s spots as part of your body and as the naturally occurring bumps they are and simply be happy they are nothing serious. You don’t have to be a mirror man but you need to inspect your whole body each day to stay aware of what is happening on your body and most especially your genital area. Keep that area healthy and clean.

Food That Make Your “Engine” Run Faster

Foods To Boost Testosterone and Help Get Stronger Erections:

Filling up with the right foods can boost your testosterone, strengthen your sperm, and supercharge your erection. Unhealthy diets can do more than wreck your waistline; they can also sink your erection because some of the smallest blood vessels and nerves in your body can be found in your penis, so if you’re eating junk foods like pizza and fries every day, your blood vessels down under may be some of the first to get clogged up with fat and cholesterol.

COFFEE: Drinking 2 to 3 cups of a coffee a day, between 170 to 375 milligrams (mg) of caffeine would make you less likely to report Erectile Dysfunction issues than men who do not drink a cup of coffee. Caffeine triggers a series of effects in your body that help the arteries in your penis to relax and the blood flow to increase.

SALMON, EGG YOLKS AND FORTIFIED MILK: Your penis needs vitamin D, and foods like salmon, egg yolks and fortified milk are a great source of it. Insufficient Vitamin D levels may also increase your risk for erectile dysfunction. When you don’t get enough vitamin D, you can decrease nitric oxide in your body, a compound that helps your blood vessels function. Without it, your blood vessels can’t relax, hindering the flow of blood to your penis. That makes it difficult for you to get an erection.

PISTACHIOS, ALMONDS, AND WALNUTS: These will improve Erectile Dysfuncton, ability to orgasm, libido, sexual satisfaction, and overall happiness in life. Almonds, Walnuts, and most other nuts are a great source of healthy fats, which are good for your heart and therefore your penis.

BLUEBERRIES AND ORANGES: Eating enough of the right ones can work wonders below the belt. In fact, men who ate flavonoid-rich foods like blueberries, strawberries, apples, and citrus fruits, a few times a week reduced their ED risk. Research speculate that flavonoids found in these foods may help improve the health of your blood vessels by relaxing your arteries.Men who were physically active (consider that 2 to 5 hours of brisk walking a week) and eating fruits reduced their ED risk.

LEGUMES (LENTILS, PEAS, CHICKPEAS), WHOLE GRAINS, AND OLIVE OIL: Since the Mediterranean diet is good for your heart, it’s not exactly surprising that it may benefit your penis, too. Heart disease is actually one of the most common causes of ED. Once plaque starts to build up in your blood vessels, the ones in your penis are the first to get blocked up. So to truly test the diet’s benefits, Italian researchers had 35 men with diagnosed with ED and metabolic syndrome, a group of factors linked to heart health problems, load up their plates with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, and fish. Another 30 men with metabolic syndrome followed a control diet. After 2 years, about one third of the men following the Mediterranean diet regained normal sexual functioning and saw lower levels of inflammation in their bodies. Researchers aren’t exactly sure why the diet could help men with ED, but they believe the combination of eating more fiber-filled and antioxidant-rich foods may have anti-inflammatory properties, which helps promote healthy blood flow. You don’t have to be dealing with heart problems to notice the diet’s benefits in the bedroom.

PEPPERS, PEACHES, AND SPINACH: Vitamin C is key for healthy sperm. All heavy smokers with poor semen quality, after changing their diet, had a higher sperm count. Vitamin C seems to protect your sperm’s DNA from cell-damaging free radicals, That’s important, since damaged sperm might mess with your ability to conceive when you’re ready to have a kid. You can easily get your daily dose through vitamin-C rich foods, like yellow peppers, peaches, and spinach.
