Speaker:
00:00:37
Hello there, Modern Man. Do you know that hydration can really
Speaker:
00:00:42
affect your sex drive and even your erection. Well, stay tuned
Speaker:
00:00:46
to find out. Now, hydration means water intake. On a daily
Speaker:
00:00:51
basis can have a significant influence on your sex life,
Speaker:
00:00:55
especially your libido or your sex drive, your erection and
Speaker:
00:01:00
overall satisfaction in your sex life for both men and women.
Speaker:
00:01:06
Now let's start with why. Why did this happen? Because an
Speaker:
00:01:09
adequate amount of water supports hormone production,
Speaker:
00:01:13
meaning testosterone. Testosterone needs water in
Speaker:
00:01:17
order to be made in the body, and testosterone is crucial for
Speaker:
00:01:23
the male libido and sex function. And water is essential
Speaker:
00:01:27
for blood flow. It is essential for maintaining blood volume and
Speaker:
00:01:32
proper circulation. Dehydration reduces blood volume and can
Speaker:
00:01:37
cause blood vessel to constrict or get smaller, impairing blood
Speaker:
00:01:41
flow to the genitals and also making it difficult to achieve
Speaker:
00:01:46
and maintain erection, especially in men, and also even
Speaker:
00:01:51
arousal in women. Now hydration or water is vital for natural
Speaker:
00:01:56
lubrication, because dehydration can lead to dryness in women,
Speaker:
00:02:02
and dehydration can lead to less semen volume in men. And also
Speaker:
00:02:09
dehydration or less water can contribute to your mood and
Speaker:
00:02:13
energy level, causing you to feel tired, irritable, causing
Speaker:
00:02:17
you to have headaches, and even a depressed mood, all which can
Speaker:
00:02:22
really make sexual desire and less receptive to even a sexual
Speaker:
00:02:27
activity. So the libido and sexual performance is important
Speaker:
00:02:32
because it's related to hormone and then less water also
Speaker:
00:02:36
contribute to less energy and also impair blood flow. We know
Speaker:
00:02:41
that if you have decreased blood flow, that's gonna affect your
Speaker:
00:02:44
erection. So recommendation is stay consistently hydrated.
Speaker:
00:02:50
Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
Speaker:
00:02:54
suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
Speaker:
00:02:59
defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of
Speaker:
00:03:04
not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the
Speaker:
00:03:08
truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to
Speaker:
00:03:13
figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program
Speaker:
00:03:19
is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
Speaker:
00:03:24
restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
Speaker:
00:03:28
error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
Speaker:
00:03:33
deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
Speaker:
00:03:38
get this journey started together. Check out the course
Speaker:
00:03:42

Speaker:
00:03:46
How much water should you take? So I want to give you some
Speaker:
00:03:51
practical guidelines here. How much water should you take that
Speaker:
00:03:55
is adequate? Well, they say whatever your weight is, half of
Speaker:
00:04:00
it and ounces. Let's say you're 180 pound man. Half of 180 is
Speaker:
00:04:05
90. You should drink 90 ounces of water a day. Typically, the
Speaker:
00:04:11
recommendation is 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. But I'm
Speaker:
00:04:14
thinking like, well, how much is the glass? Like small glass, a
Speaker:
00:04:18
wine glass, or 20 ounce glass. So I typically just say about
Speaker:
00:04:24
half of your body weight in ounces. And typically, like what
Speaker:
00:04:28
I have right here, this cup is 20 ounces. If you're 180 pound
Speaker:
00:04:34
man, you need 90 ounces, and you need to drink about at least
Speaker:
00:04:37
four of this a day. So it's good to get, like, water bottle that
Speaker:
00:04:42
has some predictable volume that you know, so that way you don't
Speaker:
00:04:45
have to say to yourself, Well, I need to drink 4 of this a day.
Speaker:
00:04:48
One of my patients did this. He bought, like, 4 of this, and he
Speaker:
00:04:52
put it on the counter, and then he count how many he drink in a
Speaker:
00:04:55
day. And if he needs to drink 4 or 5, then he just go through it
Speaker:
00:05:01
throughout the day. You will notice that when you have
Speaker:
00:05:03
adequate hydration, you have better energy, you sleep better,
Speaker:
00:05:08
your mood is actually feel better. And of course, you will
Speaker:
00:05:12
go to the bathroom more and your urine color typically should be
Speaker:
00:05:17
lighter than a yellowish color. They would say probably a little
Speaker:
00:05:21
lighter than lemonade color. Know that dehydration can also
Speaker:
00:05:25
cause dizziness and light headers as well, too, and even
Speaker:
00:05:29
lack of concentration, because sometimes you may feel a little
Speaker:
00:05:32
tired today, you may blame it on fatigue, and then you drink some
Speaker:
00:05:36
coffee where maybe you should start drinking some water first,
Speaker:
00:05:39
before you drink that coffee. I'm guilty of that. I should be
Speaker:
00:05:44
drinking more water if I'm busy during the day, I may not have
Speaker:
00:05:48
adequate water intake. First thing I do is I feel tired, is I
Speaker:
00:05:52
grab my water bottle and drink the whole thing, probably half
Speaker:
00:05:55
of it, pretty quickly. Just so that you know that water can can
Speaker:
00:05:59
really contribute to your sex drive, your sexual function, and
Speaker:
00:06:03
just overall mood and everyday feeling. So think about drinking
Speaker:
00:06:08
adequate water about half of your body weight in ounces.
Speaker:
00:06:13
Especially just know if you're exercising, you probably need to
Speaker:
00:06:17
increase your water intake by about 20%. And now, with the
Speaker:
00:06:20
weather getting warmer, you may want to increase your water
Speaker:
00:06:24
intake by 20% as well. The hotter it is, the more water you
Speaker:
00:06:28
need to take and know also that alcohol and caffeine, like
Speaker:
00:06:33
coffee, is a diuretic. Means that it increases how many times
Speaker:
00:06:37
you go to the bathroom, the volume you go to bathroom. So
Speaker:
00:06:40
when you're drinking alcohol or drinking coffee, make sure that
Speaker:
00:06:43
you also increase your water intake. So things to think about
Speaker:
00:06:48
as the weather changes and as you're going to the weekend with
Speaker:
00:06:52
increasing alcohol intake, and if you're taking caffeine, how
Speaker:
00:06:56
much is more than caffeine? More than three cups of coffee a day.
Speaker:
00:06:59
