Can walking improve sexual function?

Brisk walking can improve sexual function because it exercises men's lower body muscles and releases stress, thereby improving sexual function.

Among various activities that can improve sexual ability, brisk walking is the most popular. Because people don’t understand the role of brisk walking in improving sexual ability. Therefore, the idea that brisk walking can improve sexual ability is often doubted by many male friends. Little do people know that brisk walking has a positive effect on sexual ability by releasing stress and relaxing, mastering the need for self-exercise, forgetting the need for self, and the need for self-assertion, which are also similar to the poor sexual ability caused by high psychological and mental stress in men.

What are the benefits of brisk walking for men

1. Prevent heart disease

Studies have shown that men who walk for more than three hours a week can reduce their risk of heart disease by 35-40%; walking for 30 minutes a day can maintain the health of their cardiopulmonary function. Even if you can't set aside some time for walking every day, accumulating short periods of walking can also have certain effects.

2. Prevent arteriosclerosis

Modern people’s unhealthy eating habits cause abnormally high levels of cholesterol and neutral fat in the blood. Too much cholesterol in the blood will gradually penetrate into the blood vessel walls, causing the arteries to become hard, brittle and narrow, and blood circulation to be poor, which can easily induce myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases. Cholesterol can be divided into good HDL and bad LDL. Good HDL will send excess cholesterol to the liver to prevent arteriosclerosis. Walking for more than 20 minutes can help break down and burn neutral fat in the body and increase the amount of HDL.

3. Eliminate stress

Using your feet more often can improve the control state of the autonomic nervous system in the body, making the switching between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems more flexible, helping to relieve stress and making it easier to fall asleep.

4. Improve men’s sexual ability

The world-renowned New England Research Institute published a report stating that regular exercise can significantly reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction in men. The recommended exercise intensity is walking two miles (about 3,200 meters) a day or other forms of exercise that consume the equivalent of 200 calories.

5. Fight diabetes

British research shows that brisk walking can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. People with a family history of diabetes can significantly improve their insulin sensitivity if they walk briskly regularly.

6. Enhance the secretion function of digestive glands

Brisk walking can increase the secretion of the digestive glands, and of course it can also promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, thereby promoting gastrointestinal motility, which can not only make food better digested and absorbed, but also prevent constipation.

7. Save money on fitness

According to a survey by the American Heart Association, a quarter of the 1,000 volunteers surveyed cut their gym expenses in the past six months. In fact, brisk walking for 150 minutes a week can reduce stress and prevent heart disease, making it the most cost-effective exercise.
