The post Can Over-Exercising Cause Erectile Dysfunction? appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

To save you the time of reading this entire article to find out the answer, no, exercise does not cause erectile dysfunction (ED). In fact, research shows the opposite to be true, stating that lack of exercise contributes to ED. A 2018 review of various studies found that physical inactivity can cause ED. A separate review from six years prior in 2012 found that inactivity is a primary cause for many chronic illnesses. 

One of the reasons that lack of exercise is linked to ED is because of ED”s link to cardiovascular health. If you don’t exercise or live a sedentary lifestyle, you may experience decreased blood flow, which increases the risk of ED. Many studies confirm that regular physical activity improves symptoms in men with ED. A review of multiple studies found that weekly moderate to intense aerobic exercise helped improve ED. 

What Causes ED?

Stress, tiredness, or drinking alcohol are some of the typical causes of occasional or temporary ED. That said, ED can also be a side effect of common medications, such as:

  • Sedatives
  • Antidepressants
  • Ulcer medications
  • Blood pressure medications
  • Appetite suppressants

If ED persists, it may be caused by one of the following conditions or procedures:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Hormone problems
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Surgery for bladder cancer
  • Injury to the penis, prostates, pelvis, or bladder
  • Multiple sclerosis 
  • Chronic kidney disease

Sports And ED

Although the research shows that exercise is beneficial for ED, some research suggests that certain sports may increase the risk of ED. A review from 2019 found a link between ED and sports with higher rates of head injuries, like American football. Additionally, football, basketball, volleyball, and other similar sports have been linked to an increased risk of varicocele. This is a condition that occurs when the veins in the scrotum become enlarged and produce low sperm/decreased sperm quality as a result. 

Bicycling And ED

A study from 2010 suggested that riding on a bicycle seat for long periods of time can compress nerves in the perineum. That reduces blood flow to the penis, which may increase the risk of ED. A more recent study from 2020 involved 3,000 cyclists. Study authors noted a positive correlation between cycling and ED after adjusting age and other coexisting/underlying conditions. Other research found that certain bicycle characteristics led to an increased risk of ED. People who used mountain bikes, for example, had a higher risk of ED than those who used road bikes. 

Should You Take Precautions For Exercising With ED?

People with ED can benefit from regular exercise, especially if you are physically active for 30 minutes per day. Walking, hiking, running, swimming, strength training, and sports are great forms of exercise. Although cycling is a great cardiovascular workout, make sure to take the following precautions if you decide to cycle:

  • Avoid tilting the seat forward
  • Select a wide seat with adequate padding
  • Check that the seat height is correct, so that your legs don’t extend completely at the bottom of each pedal stroke
  • Position the handlebars higher than the seat

Other precautions for exercising with ED:

  • Take time to warm up and cool down
  • Stay hydrated by drinking the right fluids
  • Speak with a doctor about an appropriate exercise routine for you
  • Avoid overexertion and ease up when necessary
  • Avoid exercising in hot weather

Given the research, there is some evidence that associates an increased risk of ED and certain sports, such as cycling and football. There is currently no evidence, however, that suggests excessive exercise causes ED. Physical inactivity increases the risk of ED, so many health experts encourage daily movement to avoid these issues.

Are you a busy bee or peacemaker? No matter what type of person you are, these are the best at-home workouts for your personality type.

The post Great At-Home Workouts Based On Your Personality Type appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

It’s a very common occurrence to find yourself in a workout class or plan that just isn’t a good fit. Maybe dance cardio started out as an interest, but it proved your lack of rhythm after a couple classes. Yoga seemed like a good idea, but you require something more fast-paced. The reality is that finding a workout that suits your personality can be a challenge, but it isn’t impossible. 

You don’t always have to remain in your comfort zone. In fact, a lot of good comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, but you want to feel like your best and most confident self. To help you feel your best while working out, health experts recommend choosing workouts that best suit your personality. Some people gel more with Zumba, while others prefer high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Consider the following at-home workouts based on your personality and let us know if they work for you in the comments below. 

HIIT Workouts For Busy Bees

Pressed for time? There’s no better workout routine than a HIIT workout. Not only are HIIT workouts efficient, but they also get you sweating in no time. High-intensity training can help boost your cardiovascular and muscular strength simultaneously. You tend to do a series of exercises back-to-back without much rest. That means an efficient workout may only take 20 minutes out of your day!

Stretch Classes For Architects 

Yes, we are referring to people who design buildings. Architects are intentional in how they visualize space, so this personality type tends to be intentional with their time and effort. If you plan your day around the sunrise and sunset and recognize that everything has a purpose, then a solid stretching class is highly beneficial for you. While stretching helps to improve flexibility, it is also a highly restorative form of exercise that exhibits several mind-body benefits. 

Strength Classes For Go-Getters

Are you the type of person who doesn’t take no for an answer? If that describes you, then strength classes are right up your alley. Strength training requires a little grit in order to make it through all the reps and sets. A weighted strength training class is no easy feat, especially if there isn’t a lot of time between each exercise. That’s why people who engage in strength training tend to be resilient, calculated, and understand that time will reveal the results you seek. If this describes you, then invest in some dumbbells or resistance bands so you can build on your success as you progress through the workouts.

Flow Classes Are For Peacemakers

What is a peacemaker, exactly? This type of person tends to be empathic and in tune with the energy that surrounds them. This person, quite literally, keeps the peace between friends and family. In order to invite peace into your own life, exercise enthusiasts recommend simple yoga flows that require you to follow your breath. This helps replenish your own energy, especially if you are a drama referee in life. There are many restorative yoga poses and flows that you can do almost anywhere. 

Hiking For People With High Levels Of Openness

We know that hiking isn’t an at-home workout, but it’s often good to get out of the house. Hiking is great for people who seek out adventure and embrace new challenges. Because hiking is ever-changing, each trail is always uncharted territory. This is why hiking is an excellent way to burn calories and increase strength for open personality types. A 2019 study found that people who hiked for two hours a week reported an increase in mental and physical health. Even if you take short walks around your neighborhood, you can help improve blood sugar and blood pressure. 

Home Calisthenics For The Logician

Logicians are proud of their creativity and individuality, wondering a great deal and pushing boundaries. One of the great things about being open-minded and enthusiastic is that you enjoy trying new things. That doesn’t mean you are big into showing off, which makes home calisthenics an excellent training regimen. These exercises enable you to experiment with bodyweight movements, so you can develop strength without doing so in the public eye of the gym. Switch up the movements constantly to target all of your major muscle groups.

Feeling lonely is a normal part of life. The crazy thing is that you don’t have to be alone to experience loneliness. You can be in a crowded room and feel lonely, the same way you can feel lonely by yourself in your room. Loneliness is more about not feeling a connection with anyone than anything. You may think that nobody understands you, even your friends and family. 

According to mental health experts, there is a loneliness epidemic, which was amplified by the stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. A 2021 study, for example, found that more than 50% of American adults were lonely by clinical standards. Additionally, there is a strong link between loneliness and mental health disorders. Adults with mental health issues are more than twice as likely to feel lonely and experience side effects of loneliness, compared to people without mental health problems. Finally, doctors found that lonely people tend to have weaker immune function, higher levels of inflammatory markers, and increased blood pressure. 

Connecting with other people is necessary for your own survival. While it is natural to feel lonely at times, being alone too much can take a toll on your mental, physical, and emotional health. Loneliness is not a sign of weakness and you shouldn’t suppress your feelings. That is what it means to be human. You can always talk to someone or experiment with the following strategies whenever you feel lonely

Call A Friend

You don’t have to see all of your friends and family on a regular basis to maintain closeness with others. Research states that virtual interactions, especially with a large group of people, may reduce loneliness and benefit mental health. Sometimes, a quick text can even boost your morale, but you shouldn’t underestimate the value of a good old fashioned phone call. In fact, a 2021 study found that a regular 10-minute phone call may ease loneliness. 

Join A Group Or Club

Take your connections with others one step further by meeting up with new people. People from your past are great and you shouldn’t lose touch with them, but connecting with new people is often thrilling and exciting. Look for community activities or online meetups that pique your interest. Hiking groups, book clubs, business societies, or workout groups can help you form excellent connections. It’s amazing how full you can feel when you and like-minded people engage in a specific activity or talk about topics you love. Plus, joining new groups can help you meet more people and make lasting friendships. 

Draw On Your Creative Side

Expressing yourself is often easiest via creative outlets, including writing, music, and art. Not only do these activities help improve mental health, but they may also help you feel more connected. Creating something gives you a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, two emotions that may be difficult to achieve during a spell of loneliness or sadness. The most important thing about being creative is to find your flow. That means that you should reach a point in your time of creation when distracting thoughts of loneliness fade away. 

Spend Time With Animals

Animals do amazing things for your mental health. They may not be able to talk with you, but they do provide companionship. Another living creature in your presence can provide comfort and their quirks can lift your spirits, or even relieve stress. Plus, walking a dog or taking your dog to the dog park can lead to human interactions. Dog people love to talk about dogs! If you don’t have a pet, consider looking into volunteer opportunities at local shelters or rescue organizations. Research states that engaging in volunteer work helps you feel less lonely. You may even be a great candidate for fostering a pet!

Do Something You Love

Doing something you love can mean more than you know, whether you’re playing video games or going to the beach. Engaging in a meaningful hobby not only fills your time until you can see loved ones again, but may also help you find inner peace. If you don’t have a favorite hobby, consider trying out hobbies that may improve mental health. Some of these include yoga, Tai Chi, swimming, hiking, baking or cooking, and more. 

Take A Class

It’s very rewarding to learn a new skill or language, especially since the learning process can prove challenging at times. As we mentioned earlier, accomplishing a goal or completing a challenge gives you a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Learning something new can open up doors that lead to new connections with people. Whether you sign up for a jiu jitsu class, a language app, a culinary course, or drawing class at your local community college, learning a new skill is highly beneficial. Being in an environment of people who also want to learn can excite you and take your mind off being alone.

Summer is a wonderful season, but the heat can be oppressive. Depending on where you live, you may feel blazing dry heat or humid, sticky heat. Neither one is optimal and both require you to drink lots of water to avoid dehydration. There’s no reason to suffer from heat stroke when you can easily keep the body hydrated with the tips in this article. 

Water is necessary for many biochemical reactions in the body. It works to aid with waste removal, maintain proper circulation, regulate body temperature, and deliver nutrients throughout the body. Without water, the body quickly becomes dehydrated. Dehydration can show itself in many ways, for example, thirst, bad breath, muscle cramps, or general fatigue. It’s also possible to experience headaches, constipation, or dizziness. 

When it’s hot outside, getting enough water is more important than ever. The body easily dehydrates in intense eat, and it can be easy to forget about water if you participate in fun, summer activities. Don’t end up in a hospital hooked up to an IV to replenish the body. You can easily avoid that if you use the following tips to stay hydrated during hot weather. 

Always Have Extra Water If You’re Outside

If you are outside in the heat, you can dehydrate quickly. It’s also easy to lose electrolytes via sweat, specifically sodium and potassium, so you have to replenish the body with water and electrolytes. To avoid low blood sodium and dehydration, bring a large water bottle and hydrate throughout your entire time outside. Additionally, consider buying all natural coconut water for electrolyte replenishment. 

Cool Down

Drinking water isn’t always enough to properly hydrate the body. People tend to neglect the fact that regulating body temperature is integral for proper hydration. The risk of heat stroke is much higher during summer, so do your best to keep the body cool. Wear loose-fitting clothing, avoid strenuous activity, and wear lighter colors when it’s hot outside. Protect your body by staying in the shade when possible, or cool off in a body of water. Lastly, keep a spray bottle of cold water on hand to mist yourself if need be. 

Hydrate Before A Hike

Hiking is a classic summer activity, but it’s easy to overheat and get dehydrated if the sun is blazing. Drink up before you hit the trail and get a head start on your hydration efforts. You can even bring a snack that helps to hydrate the body. Watermelon, cucumbers, and celery are great hydrating produce items. Additionally, carry a backpack with a bladder full of water, like a Camelbak. Not only will your back be cool, but you’ll have a hose to hydration on you at all times. 

Start Drinking Early

Water, we are talking about water. Drinking alcohol is a surefire way to dehydrate the body in no time. The body is naturally dehydrated when you wake up, so start your day with at least 16 ounces of water before you eat anything. Mornings are often the coolest parts of the day, so get ahead of dehydration. Additionally, consider doing strenuous activity in the mornings or evenings because you won’t sweat as much and you’ll stay more hydrated. 

Drink Water When You Sweat

Whether you play a pick-up game of basketball or head out on a hike, it’s your obligation to your health to drink water every time you sweat. The humidity, how much you sweat, and how long you exercise all contribute to dehydration. A great recommendation is to drink about 20 ounces of water two to three hours before exercise. Drink eight ounces of water 20-30 minutes before you exercise, and drink about 7-10 ounces of water every 20 minutes during exercise. Within 30 minutes of finishing your workout, drink eight ounces of water.

Eat Foods With High Water Content

About 20% of your daily water intake comes from food, so it’s wise to consume a variety fruits and vegetables for optimal water intake. Most fruits and vegetables contain some water, but some have more than others. Cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, radishes, bell peppers, watermelon, strawberries, broccoli, spinach, and grapefruit are great water-rich produce items. All of them contain 90% water or higher, so eat up!

Is it a coincidence that National Take A Hike Day occurs around the time that people indulge in heavy Thanksgiving feasts? We think not! Hiking can burn up to 400-550 calories per hour, provided you are moving with a little purpose, and this means that hiking is a great way to lose some excess weight before your holiday temptations overtake all your senses.

Did you know that there are more than 50,000 miles of hiking trails across the 50 states? That means that there isn’t a shortage of hiking trails, people! In fact, most people schedule group walks or hikes on National Take A Hike Day, so keep an eye out for hiking meet-ups. You might even decide to lead your own hike this weekend! You don’t have to do a ten-mile trek in and out of valleys; rather, you can walk around your neighborhood, ascend your local hill, or find a hiking trail near you. Just make sure to bring water to stay hydrated.

Exercise Is Easier Outside

According to recent studies, the green color of grass, trees, or other plants in nature makes exercising easier and more enjoyable. The study revealed that people who exercised outdoors experienced fewer mood disturbances, and they had the desire to return for more workouts, as opposed to people who worked out in the gym.

Nature Reduces Stress

Spending time exploring the outdoors has been proven to help lower stress levels. Looking at nature makes you relax and you seem to forget about whatever is causing your stress. Just take a look at this picture of nature below and tell us that you don’t feel a little relieved. Don’t believe us? Try out our Pine Forest Bath Drops, which may help to lower depression and anxiety.

Boost Your Brain

When you go for a hike, put down your phone for a few minutes and absorb nature with your eyes; the photo for the Gram can wait. You actually have to pay more attention when outdoors, so that you don’t injure yourself. Studies have shown that taking a hike can increase creativity and influence novelty. Additionally, the fresh air can boost your brain.

Get the bikes out of the garage, dust off the old roller blades, pump up the soccer ball, or prepare for an epic game of tag because September 28th is National Family Health & Fitness Day. Celebrated annually on the last Saturday in September, this day was established by the Health and Information Resource Center in 1996 to encourage families to engage in physical activity. No matter the skillset or level of fitness, all families should participate. There’s no reason for anybody to be observing from the sidelines!

The U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity found that Americans, specifically those between the ages of 12-21, are not as active as they should be. Jennifer Hopper, M.S., ACSM-HFC-CET, director of Employee Wellness, Worklife and Fitness at Piedmont, stresses that lack of physical activity in children and teens increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. To decrease the risk of diabetes, children only require 15 minutes of daily physical activity, while adults require 30 minutes or more.

While it is possible to enroll children in after school activities, studies show that they are more likely to want to play outdoors when the entire family participates. Most family fitness activities are free and fun for all ages, and we have a few recommendations to get the whole family involved. They can be done in the backyard or out in nature. Let us know which one you want to do in the comments.

Rake Some Leaves Together

The leaves are changing with the fall season and they are falling off branches and into yards at a rapid rate. Don’t dread the rake session or hire a gardener; rather, make it a family event to clean up the yard. You can even build piles of leaves and have your children run through the piles before you scoop them into the trash.

Go Hiking

The long, warm days of summer are fading into the distance, but early fall provides the perfect weather for hiking. Perhaps there is a nearby state park, waterfall, or canyon that you want to explore. Don your hiking shoes and head to the trail. Make a game for your children by tasking them with finding the best hiking sticks for all members of the family.

Take Part In Fall Festivities

Fall typically offers a variety of festive events in many communities. Take the family to an apple orchard and have a fun day of picking apples straight from the trees. Alternatively, head to a pumpkin patch and walk around to choose the best pumpkin, which you will inevitably carve as Halloween approaches. Some of those pumpkin patches even have corn mazes set up, so head in and explore.

Go For A Bike Ride

Biking is one of the most underrated forms of physical activity, but it is light on the joints and a great cardiovascular exercise. Explore your neighborhood on a bicycle, head to a local park with a parking lot, or outdoor basketball court and set up cones to create a bike course.

Move For A Cause

One of the best ways to exercise while simultaneously doing a good deed is to participate in a 5K charity run. There are races suited for all levels of fitness and some are themed, making them extra exciting for the kids.

Finding balance in your life is no easy task. Some people work their entire lives to achieve some semblance of balance. It requires work to manage stress, work, time, activities, exercise, and anything else that is on your plate. If you are feeling down or unmotivated, the rest of your body may pay the price. On the other hand, having a positive outlook can provide you with natural energy; and your body can feel good too.

Most people neglect their mental health, shrugging off feelings of depression, tons of stress, or anxiety, all of which can induce negative long-term damage to the body. It is best to implement practices in your life to help keep things in check. To help you on your way, we have compiled five practices that can improve your mental health.

#1: Care For Yourself

Remember this: it is perfectly okay to be selfish when it comes to your health. Eating healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds, legumes, and whole grains can provide you with essential nutrients that can keep your body healthy. Additionally, doing a little exercise every day can boost endorphin production, which makes you feel good. A simple walk, yoga class, or jumping jacks can improve your mood.

#2: Try Meditating

Meditation is one of the best ways to ground yourself. It is a chance to forget about everything and cleanse your brain. Find a quiet, comfortable space and meditate or try breathing exercises for 10 minutes a day. This is a beneficial practice for those with anxiety or chronic stress. Let all the thoughts of the day roll in like the incoming tide, and let them naturally wash away.

#3: Set Daily Goals

A lot of people find that they are able to manage their lives when they have daily goals. Now, make sure goals are realistic and achievable because setting unattainable goals can only worsen stress or anxiety. Start small and determine why it is important to accomplish the goals you set. It can be as simple as finishing a load of laundry.

#4: Surround Yourself With Good People

Spending time with positive-thinking people who care about you allows you to establish a healthy network of relationships. Try to avoid people who flake or those who put you down to make themselves feel better. Make plans to do things with your friends who are fun, light-hearted, and loving. Hiking, bowling, or going to the movies are great ideas. Even finding an exercise buddy is a great first step to improving your mental health.

#5: Value Yourself

Rather than going through cycles of self-criticism, treat yourself with love and kindness. Recite positive affirmations every morning as a way to lift your spirits and set a positive tone for the day. You can also try taking dance lessons, learning a language, or taking up an instrument.

Trees are more than pretty elements of nature or towering umbrellas that provide shade on a hot day. We owe trees a great debt, even though we are slowly destroying them via environmental pollution and deforestation. Trees work to reduce erosion and help to moderate the climate. They also provide us with oxygen and work to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Tree Fact: The tallest trees in the world are the redwoods, which are abundant in Northern California. Among the towering redwoods is one tree named Hyperion, which is the tallest tree in the world at 379.7 feet tall.

You may be wondering how you can celebrate National Love A Tree Day. The easiest thing would be to go outside, walk up to a tree, and hug it. If someone asks you what you are doing, you can tell him or her to love a tree as well to celebrate the day. On the other hand, you can also have a picnic lunch with some friends under a tree.

Give Your Tree(s) Some Water

If you have one or more trees growing in your yard or around your house/apartment, make sure that you give the tree(s) plenty of water. Most people who have gardens often neglect watering their trees and favor the veggies or flowers. Soak the base of the tree to provide the roots with much needed nutrition.

Plant A Tree

Plant a tree, people! It’s good for the world! You can plant a citrus tree, stone fruit tree, avocado tree, mango tree, guava tree, pear tree, or whatever type of tree your heart desires. There’s nothing like walking into your yard and picking fresh fruit from a tree that you grew.

Go On A Hike To Appreciate Trees

The experience of walking on a hiking trail, which is shaded by enormous trees, is incredibly relaxing and makes you feel like you are walking in a fairytale landscape. Is it even real? How long have these trees been there? What information do they hold? You feel the sheer magnitude of the trees and are dwarfed their presence.

Whatever you decide to do for National Love A Tree Day, make sure to spread the word. Take a picture next to a tree and use the hashtag #LoveATreeDay when you post on social media.

Some people like to exercise more than others, but there are a lot of people who don’t get enough weekly exercise. The amount of recommended daily exercise for optimal health is 30 minutes, which is very easy to do. While there are yoga or Pilates classes, gyms, and crossfit workouts, you don’t have to be that intense. Instead, try taking a walk!

The American Heart Association sponsors National Walking Day to remind people of the important of exercise. We feel that every day should remind you of the importance of exercise. If you are really opposed to taking a walk around the neighborhood or feel that walking outdoors gets in the way of your Netflix time, get a treadmill for your house. You can also get a tiny stair-climber that takes up the same amount of space as a shoe-box.

It can be hard for a healthy habit to take hold, especially when you make them unrealistic. Walking is a very easy activity that is more effective than you think at propelling you towards a healthier lifestyle. Vowing to go to the gym three or four times a week may be more unrealistic than you think. You can walk anywhere, so start walking today!

There are very easy ways to start walking more every single day and we have them detailed below.

Take Your Next Phone Call On Foot

We all know that pacing can be involved when you are on the phone, which is exactly why you should take your call to go. Whether you are talking to an old friend, a colleague, or a family member, walk around your area while you are chatting away.

Get Off A Stop Early

If you take public transportation to wherever you are headed, try getting off a stop early and walk the rest of the way. You may not want to do this, but trust us when we say that this is good for your health. If you drive, park farther away so you have a longer “foot commute” to wherever you are headed.

Schedule A Walking Meeting

This will depend on the person you are meeting with, but have your meeting while walking if you both are up for it. This will allow you to get out of the office and enjoy a little vitamin D, now that warmer days are here.

Find A New Trail

This is for the semi-regular walkers or joggers out there. Try varying up your walking route and exploring a new path. You can visit a new park or even choose to go on a short hike. Where you go is up to you!

Dherbs Inc. has grown to become one of the leading online herbal supplement sources, promoting health and wellness by cleansing the body and eating healthy. With the primary focus being on ways to naturally heal the body, Dherbs CEO, A.D. Dolphin, is launching a new website that will provide information about how to incorporate physical activity into everyday life.

DherbsActive.com encourages people to be active whenever and wherever. Too often do people go to work, sit all day, and return home to be lazy for the rest of the night. This sedentary lifestyle can lead to a shorter lifespan, poor eating habits, poor circulation, and weight gain. Dherbs Active is here to show you that you don’t have to go to the gym to become a healthier person. Whether you want to experiment with the norm or try something unconventional, Dherbs Active can show you how to do it!

Based in Los Angeles, CA, Dherbs Active will begin hosting FREE monthly fitness events to encourage exercise around the city. From spin classes to hikes and boot camp classes to yoga, Dherbs Active will provide these classes for any person in the Los Angeles area (there will be more events around the country in the future). Simply go to the website, look on the “Events” page, and sign up for whatever event(s) you desire. All you have to do is come to the event with a can-do attitude; Dherbs Active will take care of the rest.

Just as Dherbs helps people discover possibilities with foods, supplements, and natural remedies, Dherbs Active aims to teach people how to begin, retrain, or continue a life of movement. Commit to exercise and it will become a habit that you can’t live without.
