- smoking. Nicotine negatively affects blood circulation throughout the body, including the pelvic organs, as well as the scrotum. A man's sexual function also suffers from this.
- Alcoholism. Men suffering from this disease face the problem of reduced potency much earlier than they reach retirement age.
- dope. Marijuana has a particularly strong negative effect on sexual function.

- Chronic fatigue and sleepiness. Chronic lack of sleep reduces testosterone production.
- Male erectile function is negatively affectedcomplications of sexually transmitted diseasesand transferred pathologies of the genital organs.

Blood circulation in the body depends on the proper functioning of the heart muscle, and therefore any violation and malfunction of the heart leads to a decrease in blood flow to the genital area. Problems with erectile function can also arise due to disruption of the endocrine glands.
- Unbalanced diet and metabolic disorders. Excess body weight and diabetes lead to erectile problems. Monotonous food, as well as the lack of the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals, contribute to the breakdown of the entire male body, including the genital area.

- If at the age of 60 there is a weakening of erectile function, experts recommend including more seafood, onions, garlic, pomegranate and bananas in your diet.
- Eating foods high in cholesterol should be strictly limited, but you should not completely abandon these foods. Especially a lot of cholesterol is found in kidneys, liver and fatty meat, as well as lard and fish. Sausage, butter, yogurt, cream and chicken eggs can be present in the diet, but in limited quantities.
- It should be noted that foods containing magnesium and calcium have a beneficial effect on heart function. Therefore, to saturate the body with these trace elements, it is recommended to eat zucchini, eggplant, new potatoes, grapes and bananas.

When choosing exercises, one should take into account the fact that by the age of 60 a man, as a rule, is already burdened with chronic diseases and more than one, and this affects the determination of the intensity of physical activity.
Moderate but regular physical training helps lower blood cholesterol and increase strength. Heavy sports activities at this age are best avoided. You should not engage in intense running, and you should also exclude strength training in simulators.
After 60 years, it will be useful for a man to do morning exercises, walking, swimming and yoga.
Exercises to restore strength after 60 years
Can a man's erectile function be improved by exercise? As practice shows, this is quite true. Among many different types of exercises aimed at increasing strength, experts distinguish the following exercises that are suitable for men of mature age:
- Exercises for pelvic muscles. Such classes are universal and suitable for both men and women. To perform the exercise, men must stop the process of urination while visiting the toilet and then tense and then relax the muscles forcefully. Repeat 30-50 times in one movement. Exercise should be done no more than three times a day.
- Aerobic training. Contribute to the normalization of blood circulation, which positively affects not only the erection, but also its maintenance. Blood flow to the lungs and heart helps improve erectile function.

Before determining the complex of sports exercises, as well as the intensity of physical activity, you should seek the advice of your doctor.
Medical power restoration
Treatment of sexual disorders should be comprehensive. To restore strength, men are prescribed drugs that improve the output of secretions from the prostate gland, as well as affect blood circulation in the pelvic organs and the genital area. In addition, it is necessary to take a complex of vitamins, plant substances and minerals.
Of course, patients need such auxiliary drugs that would ensure the onset of an erection at the right time. For example, these can bepharmacological agents containing an active substance that promotes the expansion of cavernous bodies and an increase in blood flow to the genitals.
There are several types of tablets that contain this substance. The most popular and sought-after drug is a highly effective drug. The action of the drug begins 15-25 minutes after ingestion and lasts 5-6 hours. The recommended dose is 10 mg/day, however, men over 60 should reduce this to 5 mg/day. Read the instructions carefully: the drug has contraindications (a previous stroke or myocardial infarction, genetic diseases of the retina, kidney pathology).
Don't fret about it though. Men with a history of the above pathologies canpotency restoration with an alternative drug based on affinity-purified antibodies to endothelial NO synthase. The main advantage of the drug is its absolute safety. The tool can be used by men who suffer from coronary heart disease, who have suffered a stroke, as well as those who are treated with nitrates. Thanks to the drug, approximately 80% of elderly men completely restore erectile function. The effectiveness of the drug is determined by the age and type of existing pathologies.
But despite the fact that this method of restoring power is safe, widely available and very effective, it has a rather serious drawback: the emergence of psychological dependence. The fact is that a man, having already completely removed the problem, continues to take drugs because of the pleasant sensations that arise.
If all the tried methods have not led to the desired result, the only way out is to perform the operation. Thanks to the surgical intervention, blood circulation in the genital area improves, the penis fills with blood faster and becomes erect.
