Raised blood glucose levels due to carbohydrate intake negatively impacts sperm production and sexual health.
A recent study by the Endocrine Society sheds light on the potential link between **carbohydrate consumption, blood glucose levels, and male sexual health**. The key findings are as follows:
- **High blood glucose levels**, often a result of excessive carbohydrate intake, can damage the nerves and blood vessels essential for achieving and maintaining erections. Over time, this damage can lead to **erectile dysfunction** in men[4].
- Elevated blood glucose impairs normal vascular function, which is crucial for male sexual health. This suggests that poor control of glucose metabolism due to high carbohydrate consumption negatively impacts sexual performance[4].
- Studies also indicate that adopting healthier dietary patterns that reduce blood sugar peaks (such as low-calorie days or restricting refined carbohydrates) can potentially mitigate some negative effects on male sexual health[3].
- Moreover, glucose plays an essential role in sperm production (spermatogenesis), and altered glucose metabolism can affect reproductive health at the testicular level[1].
In summary, the Endocrine Society research suggests that **excessive carbohydrate intake leading to high blood glucose levels can impair male sexual health by damaging crucial vascular and nerve functions, and controlling carbohydrate intake helps improve glucose levels and potentially male sexual function**[4][3][1].
The author of this article encourages readers to reevaluate their diet and lifestyle, particularly focusing on reducing carbohydrate intake, as a potential solution to maintain sexual health in their later years. The author, a 51-year-old healthy male who has been following a species-appropriate diet for 7.5 years, offers coaching and consultation services for those seeking guidance in this area.
It is worth noting that the study did not directly mention the cause of the elevated blood sugar, but it is commonly understood that carbohydrate consumption is a significant factor in elevating blood glucose levels. Consuming carbohydrates can also reduce libido and sexual performance by interfering with aromatase enzymes, estrogen, and testosterone.
The author emphasises the importance of making lifestyle changes to preserve or revive reproductive health in men. The study, conducted over six years, involved 117 healthy men aged 18-85 without diabetes mellitus, heart disease, or cancer[2].
In addition to this research, the author encourages readers to consider donating to support the website and joining an uncensored community for discussion. The author believes that doctors and nutrition professionals lack knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry, and that adopting a species-specific, species-appropriate diet is key to maintaining good health and preventing damage. The author suggests that humans are physiologically capable of living between 120 and 150 years if they follow such a diet and avoid plants, which are considered poison.
