Diabetic Meal

Sex is always a big problem to a person with diabetes. Failure to have a firm erection makes him cannot enjoy his sex life to the fullest.

Men will have full and hard erection when enough blood is supplied to the penis. More blood means the penis will be harder. Poor blood circulation is always due to overweight or obesity. There is too much cholesterol in the blood. Therefore a person with obesity and diabetes must look for proper exercise to help to maintain an ideal body weight.

You don’t have to work hard on this. The most important thing is that you must know the right technique. Below are some recommendations that you can try.

* 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week; or
* 20 minutes of vigorous exercise three days a week.

The question here is that how do we measure moderate and vigorous? You can tell by measuring your heart rate while doing it. For this purpose you should have your own measuring device to check your heart beat.

First, figure out what your maximum heart rate is. That’s the number 220 minus your age. For example if you’re 40, your max heart rate is 180.

To measure your rate effectively, while exercising, pause a bit to take your pulse. Place your middle and index fingers on the artery of your neck or wrist where you can feel your pulse. Check the time, you should count how many pulses are there in one minute. That is your heart rate. A normal person while resting should have a range from 60 to 72 beats per minute.

When you’re doing moderate exercise, your heart rate will be 50% to 70% of your maximum heart rate — which is based on a person’s age. If your max heart rate is 180, your goal for moderate exercise is to get your heart rate up to 90 to 126 beats per minute (bpm).

Here’s that equation:

220 – age = max heart rate

180 x .50 (50%) = 90 bpm
180 x .70 (70%) = 126 bpm

For vigorous exercise, figure it the same way, but instead of 50% to 70% of your max heart rate, the range is 70% to 85%.

180 x .70 (70%) = 126 bpm
180 x .85 (85%) = 153 bpm

Walking and jogging are good examples of moderate exercises while cycling and running are good example of vigorous exercises.
