The benefits and harms of sour cream for men
Dairy products are rich in components that improve the functioning of the male body. We will talk about the benefits and harms of sour cream for men.
Beneficial features
Nutrition plays an important role in maintaining good male health. In order for all cells in the body to work in a physiological mode, they require various active components that are found in healthy foods. So, for example, for the good functioning of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, special beneficial microbes are required that “live” in fresh fermented milk products.
Sour cream is a unique product that contains such important elements for digestion as lacto- and bifidobacteria. These microorganisms are necessary to ensure normal intestinal microflora. If beneficial bacteria predominate in the microflora, then digestion processes proceed better.
Also, beneficial bacteria help improve immunity. Men who regularly consume fresh fermented milk products are less prone to colds. Their immune system works more intensively, as a result of which the risk of infection with infectious pathologies is reduced significantly.
The benefits of fresh sour cream for the male body are enormous. So, for example, this product contains proteins in its composition - substances necessary for muscle tissue.The need for proteins increases significantly in men who are actively involved in sports or regularly visit the gym. The use of fermented milk products allows you to compensate for the body's need for proteins, which contributes to muscle growth. Strong potency in men is a very important clinical indicator of the health of the male reproductive system. Unfortunately, with age, this figure gradually begins to decline. Low potency leads to problems in personal life, changes in behavior and mood, as well as a general change in the functioning of the male body.
Various factors can lead to a decrease in potency. The most common include:
- bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol);
- various stresses;
- malnutrition with an abundance of fatty, fried foods or fast food;
- lack of physical activity;
- chronic diseases, including genitals;
- age.
It can be quite difficult to normalize the work of the prostate gland and other organs of the reproductive system in men. Medicines have been developed to improve potency. However, many men do not want to resort to such drug therapy, believing that it has many side effects. In this case, an alternative way to treat problems with potency is the use of folk remedies.
One of these methods is the use of a special nutritious "cocktail" made from sour cream and beer. This drink contains nutritious nutrients as well as beneficial vitamins and minerals. Entering the body, they provide an improvement in the functioning of the genital organs. Traditional medicine experts note that this drink should be drunk in moderation.Exceeding dosages can be fraught with the development of a number of adverse consequences for the body.
Beer with sour cream is a drink that improves the functioning of the immune system. Normally, the protection of the human body from various pathogenic microbes is provided by special cells called leukocytes. To maintain good immunity of these cells in the blood, there must be a sufficient amount. A decrease in the population of leukocytes is dangerous by the development of a number of insidious pathologies, which are accompanied by the appearance of very unfavorable symptoms.
It can be extremely difficult to increase the number of leukocyte cells even with the help of special drugs. In this case, folk remedies come to the rescue. So, after a course of taking beer with sour cream, the concentration of leukocytes in the blood increases, which leads to an improvement in well-being. The first positive tangible result, as a rule, appears by the end of the week of using this remedy. Traditional medicine experts note that such a cocktail helps to increase libido and even helps to increase the duration of sexual intercourse.
It is better not to consume this nutritious drink every day. To achieve a positive effect, it is enough to drink a cocktail of beer and sour cream three times a week, 250 ml each. Dark beer is best for making a drink. However, for men who do not like the taste of dark beer, you can replace it with a light one.
For the preparation of a healthy cocktail, foamy alcoholic drinks with a short shelf life are best suited. Such "live" drinks contain more active ingredients that help improve the functioning of the organs of the male reproductive system.
Sour cream for the preparation of this cocktail must also be of high quality. The fat content of the fermented milk product is not significant. If you wish, you can choose any that you like more. Most often, fermented milk products with a fat content of 10-15 percent are used to make a drink from beer and sour cream.
Sour cream is a unique product that contains quite a lot of nutritional components. A dish to which this fermented milk product is added, as a rule, contributes to better saturation of the body. At the same time, satiety persists, as a rule, for quite a long time. This is largely due to the fact that the composition of the fermented milk product contains quite a lot of fats and proteins, which ensure that the feeling of satiety is maintained for several hours.
The key to good male health is the optimal hormonal background. A decrease in sex-specific hormones due to malnutrition can be fraught with a decrease in potency and even an increase in the risk of developing dangerous pathologies of the prostate gland. The active ingredients contained in sour cream help to reduce the risk of developing these adverse manifestations, as they can favorably influence the hormonal background.
In order to assess men's health, doctors conduct various tests. One of them is the study of sperm. Unfortunately, more and more often in outwardly healthy men, various pathologies of spermatogenesis are detected.
Doctors say that treating such diseases is much more difficult than preventing their occurrence. Experts also note that proper nutrition, rich in proteins, is necessary to maintain the normal properties of sperm.
