Andropause
The male menopause or andropause may be due to hormonal and psychological constraints that vary from man to man. The testimonies of many men indicate that after 40 years can suffer a crisis of masculinity: the viripausia or andropause.

The “Study of the Massachusetts male aging,” in which 1700 men were interviewed between 40 and 70, the Greater Boston area (USA), concluded that 51% of respondents experienced some great impotence defined as a persistent problem for achieving and maintaining an erection rigid enough.

In addition to the high probability of producing a respiratory or lung cancer (by groups containing tar and nitrosamines), nicotine causes spasms in blood vessels and arteries Lapp.

What are the implications SEXUALITY?

One patient told me that, having stopped smoking, “she was sexually safer when smoked.” This would contradict what I always say about the harmful effects of snuff on sexual potency. I want to clarify that the feelings of the smoker is not just too calm anxieties oral psychological, but is due to nicotine, an alkaloid that at low concentrations has an excitatory action and inhibited high and soothing effect.

CAN acts as a sedative?

Yes, if the amount of nicotine is high, there is a decreased sense of tension, so it resembles the function of a sedative. Allows you to control the feelings of fear, why resort to cigarette smokers more often in stressful situations, sexual even when confronted with a woman.

And long-term cause’s atherosclerosis and peripheral vascular disease, also on that side, never as the sole contributing cause to the onset of erection difficulties. One of the arguments of smokers to continue using snuff is that smoking is a pleasure, which I do not doubt.

Women who maintain a healthy weight at menopause would average one hour per day of moderate physical activity, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Menopause

I-Min Lee of Harvard University and colleagues conducted this study from 1992 to 2007 with 34,079 Americans on a normal diet, aged 54 years on average at baseline. They were followed every 3 years.

13.3% of women had a normal weight, a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or less at the beginning of the study and maintained their weight (a gain of no more than 2.3 kg) over periods of 3 years. (See what is your BMI.)

Participants took approximately 2.6 kg over the 13-year study period. Among those who maintained their usual diet, physical activity was associated with less weight gain only in women who had a BMI lower than 25. Those that have managed to maintain a normal weight and take less than 2.3 kg were about 60 minutes per day of moderate activity.

Among those already overweight at the start of the study, it appears that the exercise must be combined with a calorie reduction for weight control, say the researchers.

The recommendation of 30 minutes of exercise a day, usually made by health authorities, while adequate to reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, is not sufficient for weight maintenance, the researchers conclude.
