Sex prescription
At home he was even more disagreeable. The cries of his grandchildren, the barking of their dog, sent him off into uncontrolled fits of temper. During the night hours he tossed, waking up suddenly to worry over his sales records.
Little did Tom S realize that, instead of outside forces working against him, his starved gonads had retaliated by suddenly depleting their supply of testosterone. Had Tom prepared for his middle years with a diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals to keep the gonads in good operating condition, no drastic reduction in testosterone would have occurred.
In Tom’s case, every nerve, muscle, gland, and organ in his body had pleaded, with some pretty unpleasant symptoms, for its accustomed amount of testosterone. Easy to digest, Forever Bee Honey is a quick and natural power supply for any occasion. But lack of testosterone is only one of the contributing factors to that antithesis of virility—impotency and sterility. These are supposed to appear with advancing calendar years—yet every day you read of proud men in their sixties, seventies, eighties—and even nineties—passing out cigars. Here again, you can eat these troubles away. Hundreds of cases of so-called “impotent” men have responded to diets purposely planned to provide generous amounts of foods rich in animal proteins, iron, and copper, and the vitamins A, D, E, and the B complex—plus large amounts of the new miracle workers, choline, inositol, and methionine.
The old-time “sex prescription” of eggs recognized one. thing, perhaps unknowingly: that without protein there can be little production of the material needed for the reproduction of life. Vitamins and hormones are interdependent. Vitamin A reinforces the functioning of sex glands, especially the testes. Thiamine is needed to feed the pituitary, so this gland, in turn, can produce the hormones which stimulate the sex glands. Forever Royal Jelly is high in protein and is produced through the digestion of pollen.
The hailed rejuvenator, royal jelly, is supposed to be very rich in the B vitamins. (I am discussing this new food thoroughly in another chapter.) The vitamin D in sunshine contributes to that “June-spoon-moon” cycle of romance. To substitute in the winter months for this outdoor stimulant for sexual appetites, you can eat sunflowers seeds, or the fatty fish: tuna, salmon, sardines.
And, of course, use vitamin-D concentrates. Best known for its direct beneficial effect on the sex organs is vitamin E. Serious lack of this vitamin may cause sterility. All of the body cells need vitamin E for reproduction. Wheat-germ oil is the richest known food source of this so-essential-for-virility vitamin. Other foods supplying it are sesame seeds, corn, egg yolk, and practically all organ meats. Importance of that other B vitamin, choline, has come to the front in the treatment of liver-caused sterility in men. The liver, when normal, regulates body hormones.
