Nutritional information on sexual vitality

Sexual vitality is inherently related to the general vitality of the good health we achieve and maintain through proper nutrition, adequate exercise and sleep and a positive mental attitude. At the bottom line, sexual vitality for both men and women relates to the production of sex hormones.

The sex hormones are secreted by the sex glands which are part of the endocrine (glandular) system. There are currently then glands defined as part of this system: the pineal, hypothalamus and pituitary in the brain: the thyroid and parathyroid in the neck; the adrenals, kidneys and pancreas in the stomach area; and the gonads, or sex glands, in the pelvis.

The estrogens, female hormones, and androgens, male hormones, occur in both sexes. They are produced from chemical substance called steroids. A class of steroids called sterols are found in cholesterol, ergosterol and sitosterol (from wheat germ and soybean oil) are used for synthetic hormone production. In the brain the steroids effect the regions that influence sexual behavior. Further hormonal reactions are due to the stimulation and activation of certain enzymes.

The sex hormones are imperative to sexual health and they have other far reaching effects on our total health and well-being. Synthetic steroids are not always reliable and tend to produce many unwanted side effects. For example long term use of synthetic steroids an cause the gonads to decrease normal production.

Essential fatty acids, vitamin E and several of the B vitamins are essential to the production of the sex hormones. The combination of crude oils - wheat germ oil, rice bran oil and soy oil, have been called invaluable in providing precursors necessary for hormone manufacture. Wheat germ extract provides a plant steroid which duplicates human steroids. Laboratory studies depriving animals of essential fatty acids show they become infertile, an especially rapid process in males. Supplements of the oils have helped some cases of prostate disease.

The essential fatty acids can be hard to obtain in an absorbable form in the diet. These acid are linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic and they are not manufactured by thte body. However, the healthy body can produce linolenic and arachidonic from linolieic if the supply is adequate.
