Ginseng, along with other foods, can boost men’s sex life.
Men can add ginseng and saffron to their diet to improve their sex life.
They can indulge in wine and chocolate, too, but should know that their amorous effects are likely all in head. Stay away from the more obscure Spanish fly and Bufo toad.
While purported to be sexually enhancing, these produce the opposite result and can even be toxic, the journal Food Research International reports.
The findings have been made in the study by Massimo Marcone, professor in University of Guelph’s Department of Food Science, and Master’s student John Melnyk.
“Aphrodisiacs have been used for thousands of years all around the world, but the science behind the claims has never been well understood or clearly reported,” Marcone said, according to a Guelph statement.

Green Tea can help stem the tide of prostate cancer, a recent study has found.
Green tea appears to inhibit the spread of prostate cancer in a number of ways, says a study in the Dec. 1 issue of Cancer Research.
In research with mice, scientists from the University of Wisconsin and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland found green tea polyphenols (GTP) target molecular pathways that control the proliferation and spread of prostate tumor cells. The polyphenols also inhibit the growth of blood vessels that feed prostate tumors.

More men are drinking green tea not only for its great taste but also for its enormous health benefits such as protecting against heart disease, preventing prostate cancer and many more.
Green tea should be a part of everyday health for men. That’s because green tea contains compounds that are important for maintaining men’s health (including preventing prostate cancer), protecting against heart disease (the number one killer of men), and fighting overweight/obesity (72.3 percent of men), among other benefits.

Green tea’s medicinal powers are in catechins, potent antioxidants that have demonstrated a variety of health-enhancing properties. Among the several different types of catechins, the most powerful is epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG.

Ginseng is known for its ability to increase energy and endurance, but it can also work wonders for your sex life:
To support my suspicions about what was causing my friend’s amorous behavior, the 2006 book “Ginseng Dreams: The Secret World of America’s Most Valuable Plant,” by Kristin Johannsen, reveals that one of ginseng’s medicinal properties is the aphrodisiacal effect. According to Johannsen, ginseng has a powerful aphrodisiacal affect based on several studies. Johannsen also discusses the research carried out by Laura Murphy, a scientist and instructor in the physiology department at the University of Southern Illinois. Murphy tested the effects of American ginseng on rats, and she was surprised at the results. She found the ginseng-fed rats’ libido and performance rate was much higher than that of the control group. The effects of ginseng were much more effective on the libido than cocaine, marijuana or prescription drugs. I think I will be cooking with ginseng oil all the time!
Ginseng is a perennial plant belonging to the Araliaceae botanical family, which includes carrots, celery and parsnips. The root is yellowish with a creamy texture like parsnips. The word ginseng literally means “man plant,” because the shape of the ginseng root is similar to that of a human being. Ginseng is also known as the tiger of the plant world, and as the plant that hides from man, because it grows slowly and favors the deep forests. The botanical name Panax was later given to ginseng, and it means “all healing” or “cure-all” in Greek.
History suggests that ginseng was discovered in the mountains of Northern China over 5,000 years ago. It is also believed that ginseng was used as a food source and a medicinal remedy over 3,000 years ago. Ginseng is highly prized and respected by American and Chinese herbalists. The belief is that ginseng helps the body and mind stay in balance. It is also believed that ginseng improves the function of the heart and nervous system, and that it stimulates the endocrine gland. The popularity of ginseng was so great at one point that the plant almost became extinct!
Three North American Indian tribes used the ginseng root for its medicinal power and health benefits. The American settlers discovered ginseng in the 18th century in the New England region of the United States. By 1850, so much ginseng was being harvested and exported to Asia that it almost became extinct. Initially, attempts to cultivate ginseng failed until the early 1900s, when the East Coast farmers began to grown ginseng in small gardens.

Now days, thinning or receding hairline is not a privilege reserved only for the middle-aged or retirees. Many young women limit their food intake to attain a pencil-like stature, whereas young men pile on the protein drinks and meat to beef up their muscle mass. This type of one-sided dietary habit is often a main culprit towards thinning hair and poor skin growth.
When caloric intake is very limited for periods of time, our body would ensure the limited fuel goes to our vital organs first and aesthetics of beautiful skin and hair would be of the least concern, since it is not vital for survival. In addition to eating balanced meals, taking blood and yin restoring herbs such as Dong Gui, He Shou Wu and black sesame would help to invigorate skin and hair producing cells.
For those carnivores that do not eat vegetables or fruits are doing themselves disservice because the fibers make sure the digestive tracks are swept clean and the arteries are free from clogging up. Without this cleaning action, the gunk inside will manifest itself onto the outside with such irritants as acne, oily skin and easy to fall out hair.

Generally speaking, thinning or receding hairline are seemingly more of a male dilemma than a woman’s. However, with increasing build-up of stress, it is not a wonder that everyone is tearing his or her hair out. When one is stressed, it is common to “comfort” one’s psyche with a sweet treat or a salty (and oily) snack. Typically, these foods take away more of the needed vitamins and minerals your body needs.
Next time, try reaching for yogurt, edamame, pistachio, black sesame, or granola bars and such calcium and vitamin B packed snacks to help calm your nerves and to ensure better skin and hair growth.

Preserving one’s qi (life force) through sexual abstinence is a well-established principle of traditional Chinese medicine:
The wisdom from ancient traditions is consistent in advising us that there is a time for sowing and a time for cultivating. We might say, there is a time for “sowing our oats” and a time for cultivating our higher nature. It is evident from the popularity of Viagra, and Cialis that even when the time for sowing is over, many of us seek to extend certain faculties beyond their natural sunset rather than cultivating inner wisdom. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) suggests a formula for the amount of “sowing” men should be engaging in at different ages in their life. The general idea is to decrease sexual activity to preserve qi or vital force as one advances in age. Our reproductive force is the same as our life force and can be cultivated by circulating it around through the body rather than expending it during sex. Maintaining energy for daily bodily functions keeps us more healthy and vital.
Many of the ancient Eastern traditions have practices for transmuting our vital force by directing it toward the quest for higher consciousness. The belief is that once we have enjoyed this force in our earlier years for pleasure and propagation, it is wise to direct it in an even more meaningful way toward the elevation of our consciousness. When we raise our own consciousness, we do our part for planetary evolution. In other words, if you are taking Viagra or Cialis, you might not be doing your part! Just kidding. Sort of…

Herbs can increase testosterone:
Testosterone decreases as we age, but numerous herbs and nutrients can help increase the blood levels of this hormone. Low testosterone can increase the risk of heart problems as well as depression, osteoporosis, and dementia. Reduced testosterone causes a condition known as andropause that develops with aging. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid and research on synthetic hormone replacement has been inconclusive.
The UCLA School of Medicine studied the plant MUIRA PUAMA and found it had the ability to increase testosterone production in men. South American shaman and healers have used this plant from the Brazilian rainforest for generations. Known as “potency wood” it has been used as an aphrodisiac as well.
The Chinese herb FO TI is used in Oriental Medicine as an aphrodisiac and for longevity. The Chinese name is HOSHOU WU. It has been used to treat impotency and to turn back the clocks on aging.
Broccoli and cauliflower contain natural ingredients that help the body to eliminate estrogen. Another way to do this is by taking the nutrient L-ARGININE. A recent study showed that men taking less than two grams of l-arginine daily for two weeks had improvement. Another study of men taking five grams a day, demonstrated similar results.
SARSAPARILLA root has been made into a soft drink, like root beer, and is known in folk medicine as a treatment for increased virility. There is no research on this plant, but it has been used for generations.
