There are a number of treatment options for premature ejaculation. Modern science has made it possible to treat the condition almost immediately thanks to ointments, constriction devices and even Botox. For longer term solutions, there are supplements, pharmaceutical choices and, when the cause may be emotional, therapy can help to root it out and deal with it once and for all. While these options have given men more choice than ever before, many guys are still reluctant to go to their doctor when the problem crops up. Luckily, for men who find themselves dealing with premature ejaculation on a sporadic basis, sometimes all they need to do is make a few changes which work to combat the problem from the inside out.
You Are What You Eat
If your diet tends to feature fast food on a regular basis, it’s no wonder you’re finishing fast in bed. Processed foods are high in the unholy trinity of negative ingredients: Fat, Sugar and Salt. These three ingredients can be fine in small doses but burgers, fries and all those drive-through window treats are absolutely overflowing with them. If you’ve developed a bad habit with fast food and feel like you can’t go cold turkey, start swapping out meals that are easy to replace. Skip the window in the morning and fuel up with a quick breakfast at home. Instead of driving to your favourite burger joint for a quick lunch, find a healthy take away close to your work if possible so that you can walk. Walking not an option? Pack your lunch. Allow yourself some wiggle room, though, and splurge on a reasonable fast food meal once or twice a week until you can full kick the habit.
Overall, you’re aiming to get more fresh fruit and raw vegetables into your diet. You can do it by snacking on apples, nuts, grapes and carrots during the day or getting a smoothie maker or high speed blender and creating quick smoothies for a fast breakfast or satisfying snack. Nutritional changes can be difficult at first, especially if you’ve developed something of a dependence on salt and sugar. Give yourself at least a week of clean eating so that you can really feel the results. Once you get the energy boost a whole food diet can bring, it will be easier to stay on track.
Get Up and Move Around
While better nutrition will improve your energy – and stamina – it also helps to make physical fitness easier to integrate into your life. Proper diet supported by better fitness improves cardiovascular health which has a direct bearing on premature ejaculation. For those who haven’t hit the gym much lately, simply starting to take a walk every evening or in the morning can have a huge impact on their overall health, including sexual performance. As time goes on, incorporate different routines and activities to keep things varied and to find what you truly enjoy doing. Any exercise or fitness routine will do as long as it gets your heart rate up and gets you sweating. Finding something you enjoy will make it easier to stick with it even on days when the couch is calling your name.
Find Some Zen
Finally, addressing the issues of stress and turbulent emotions is the final puzzle piece for many guys dealing with premature ejaculation. Lowering stress levels can improve blood pressure, aid in weight loss and combat depression in addition to the help it can give you in the bedroom. Making boxing, running or team sports part of your workout routine can help bring down stress levels effectively but any physical activity helps in the reduction of stress. The key is to find something that helps you feel as though you’re “blowing off steam” in a positive way. For some this may mean branching out from physical activities into yoga or meditation.
Dealing with premature ejaculation isn’t easy. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to begin effective treatment on your own. Focusing on whole body health is your best bet to treating the problem on your own and giving yourself the boost you need in other areas of your life. Even if you find yourself still dealing with bouts of premature ejaculation after you’ve made these changes, you’ll be able to give your doctor better insight into how best to approach the problem.
