How does drinking coffee improve physiology?

Reduce erectile dysfunction

Coffee is rich in antioxidants, which can protect blood vessels and support blood circulation, thereby improving blood flow to the penis. Drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a day helps men easily achieve and maintain an erection.

A 2015 US survey of more than 3,700 men found that those who consumed 85-170 mg of caffeine per day were 42% less likely to have this disorder. Those who consumed 171-303 mg of caffeine per day had a 39% reduced risk of erectile dysfunction compared to non-users.

This may be because caffeine relaxes the arteries and smooth muscles in the penis, allowing more blood to flow there. Caffeine can also increase levels of the male sex hormone testosterone. Research shows that men who regularly drink coffee have higher testosterone levels than men who do not drink coffee.

Improve desire

Coffee boosts energy levels, improves physical endurance, and increases neurotransmitters linked to a good mood, all of which can improve sex life. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases alertness by increasing the speed of brain and body activity. Increased body energy also boosts sexual desire.

Increased testosterone levels with caffeine consumption also have positive effects on sex drive. Because testosterone decline in men is often accompanied by symptoms of fatigue, decreased vitality, and decreased desire.

Limit stress

Caffeine also helps reduce anxiety and elevate mood. Therefore, coffee drinkers are happier and more relaxed during sex. Researchers think caffeine may reduce anxiety by blocking receptors for the chemical adenosine, preventing the brain from triggering a stress response. However, this can only happen to people who drink coffee at low to moderate levels. High caffeine intake may cause higher anxiety.

Although this beverage may provide some health benefits, it is important to consume it in moderation. Too much caffeine can cause many unwanted side effects such as anxiety, restlessness, headaches, insomnia, increased heart rate, and upset stomach. Long-term use of energy drinks like coffee is linked to dental problems, cardiovascular problems, sleep disorders, obesity and calcium deficiency.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends not consuming more than 400 mg (about 4-5 cups of coffee) per day to avoid side effects. About 45 minutes before sex, men can drink 1-2 cups of coffee to help improve blood flow to the genitals, increase testosterone and provide necessary energy.
