Hormones - The Environment and Sex Drive

In modern times, the effects of the environment on health is just too evident with a particular accent on sex drive. Polution, the thining ozone layer, exposure to various radiation sources, the green house effect, global warming, you name it.

One of the most worrying trends of our modern society is the decreasing threshold age for andropause or low sex drive.

Andropause is the male equivalent of the female menopause otherwise known as lack of sex drive, that usually affects men between the ages of 40 and 55. However, this is not how it was supposed to be.

Only a hundred years ago, low or lack of sex drive did not start until the early 50s, but the industrialized society that we live in has turned andropause into a man triggered condition. The sharp drop in the amounts of testosterone produced by the body, which is the mark of sex drive or andropause, is no longer a natural process, but can be brought about in the early 40s by the constant presence of a wide range of chemicals. These chemicals act as synthetic estrogen in the male body and induce certain changes at the physical and psychological levels.

Andropause or simply put, low sex drive is a phenomenon that can be forestalled if the causes can be distinguished. It is quite evident that we come across young men of about 35 years of age complaining of low sex drive.

The most common symptoms that accompany lack of sex drive are and prostate problems, mood changess and depression, impotence, low testosterone level,low sex drive and low sperm count, weight gain, low blood sugar or diabetes, dry skin, bone loss, fatigue, anxiety, low absorption of Zinc, increased risk of heart attacks and water retention. The presence of xenoestrogens, which means estrogen that is not produced within the body, is threatening the natural hormonal balance and leads to the early onset of andropause - low sex drive. These foreign hormones are the result of our constant exposure to various products of the modern society. A brief list of xenoestrogen sources would include:

  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Plastic wrappings
  • Plastic drinking bottles
  • Meat from animals raised on hormone-rich food
  • Detergents
  • Pollution

An authority on sex drive is Doctor Allan Lieberman.
Doctor Allan Lieberman, from the Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine, stated a couple of years ago that the accumulation of xenoestrogens in the body starts in infancy and is compounded by modern life. The combined use of pesticides in growing the food and soft plastics in transporting and packaging the food raises our exposure to endocrine disrupters, says doctor Lieberman.
There are several things anybody can do to limit the severity of hormonal imbalance and its symptoms. These steps are: diet changes, lifestyle changes, exercise and a positive attitude on life. Changing the diet doesnt necessarily equal dieting, although you may want to lose some weight and stay in shape. Smoking, drinking or drugs consumption are likely to worsen the andropause symptoms or low sex drive and should be avoided.

One of the various answers to the lack of zinc and the falling sex drive is the apearance of different medications and pills available in pharmacies, on the internet, and other sources.
You can come across pills like Viagra , Cialis , Provigrax, Procalisx, Prosolution pills, VolumePills as well as the herbal or natural alternatives. These pills are an excellent sources of zinc and can increase libido, sperm count and sex drive.
One of the effects of exposure to xenoestrogen is the impairing of zinc absorption by the body. Zinc is very important to the healthy functioning of the prostate, testicles, immune system, wound healing and is part of some 300 enzymes.
