JAKARTA - Foods such as red meat, chicken skin, fried foods, biscuits, and full cream dairy products are liked by many people.
However, the consumption of these foods should not be excessive because it is not good for the health of the body, including those related to sexuality.
Quoted from The Sun, on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the food contains unhealthy fats, namely saturated fat and trans fat. These fats can lower sexual desire if consumed in excess.
A diet high in saturated fat and trans fat contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries).
This condition can interfere with blood flow to the entire body, including the sexual organs, which are important for optimal sexual arousal and function.
"High cholesterol and obesity are two factors that contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, the arteries become hard and narrow due to plaque buildup," said Dr. Neel Patel.
Consuming saturated and trans fatty foods frequently can also cause testosterone levels in women and men to be low. This decrease directly affects the decrease in sexual desire.
In addition, fatty foods also take longer to digest. This can cause feelings of fatigue, lethargy, and bloating, reducing the desire for physical activity, including sex.
Therefore, it is important to limit the consumption of saturated and trans fatty foods. Consumption of balanced foods that are rich in nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can help maintain vitality and libido.
