For a healthy sex life, the foreplay and the satisfaction of the process are important, but the subsequent recovery cannot be underestimated. However, among many so-called healthy middle-aged men, many often feel very tired after sexual intercourse.

Why do men always complain that they are tired after having sex?

Generally speaking, the reasons that trouble them mainly include the following three aspects:

First of all, certain underlying diseases may cause fatigue after sex, such as anemia, mild heart disease, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, thyroid disease, diabetes, etc.

Secondly, sex that is too intense and lasts too long may also cause men who work at desks for long periods of time to suffer from persistent fatigue due to greater physical exertion.

Finally, strong psychological conflicts arising from sexual activities often affect a person's sexual feelings.

What should men and women eat after sex?

1. Vitamin E protects cardiovascular system

Men's cholesterol metabolism is often disrupted, making them more susceptible to diseases such as high blood pressure and stroke. Vitamin E can prevent cholesterol from clogging blood vessels and remove waste from the body. Whole grains, nuts, and vegetable oils all contain vitamin E, so it is recommended that men eat more of these foods.

2. Lycopene makes the prostate healthier

This natural carotenoid is mainly found in red foods such as tomatoes, watermelons, and grapefruits. It can scavenge free radicals in the prostate and protect prostate tissue. Therefore, men who eat more tomatoes are equivalent to adding a prostate "protection net" to themselves. An adult can meet the body's need for lycopene by eating 100 to 200 grams of tomatoes every day.

3. Small medicinal wine prescriptions can help men nourish their kidneys and strengthen their yang

"Medicine is not as good as food." Foods we often eat have kidney-tonifying functions, such as pork kidneys, oysters, and walnuts. Pork kidneys and oysters contain a lot of zinc, which is very good for nourishing the kidneys. Walnuts also have the effect of moistening the lungs. Eat them raw or soak them with one or two walnut kernels and a pound of white wine for a month, and drink a small amount every night, which can also achieve the effect of nourishing the kidneys.
