a link between the improvement in erectile function and the actions of Solat
A group of researchers from the Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia claim that their study on Solat which is the Muslim prayer routine could not only be beneficial for the ritual of spiritual health but also for physical, mental and sexual health. They even speculated that it could cure erectile dysfunction.
They explained that when men used the correct posture when performing these prayers they would reduce their heart rates and strengthen their pelvic floor muscles. At Ukmedix News we have already written on the importance of strong pelvic muscles and how they had been linked to improved erectile function.
The researchers who undertook their own clinical trial with two men suffering from erectile dysfunction observed that when they were administered a month of what they called “prayer therapy” there were significant improvements.
The Universiti Malaya Biomedical Engineering Department head Dr Fatimah Ibrahim said that there was a clear link between the improvement in erectile function and the actions of Solat prayer.
The Solat prayers have been likened to 30 minutes of gentle exercise which is especially beneficial for older men particularly because it gets the muscles around the pelvic area working. The importance of exercise even very moderate walking should not be underestimated as a way to improve health and especially sexual health.
Probably the best bit of sexual health advice for all men over the age of 60 is to get their heart beat going for 30 minutes a day. While the drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra can make a huge difference to erectile dysfunction nothing beats having good arterial circulation and blood flow naturally.
The other reason why the Solat prayers were especially beneficial is probably because they help to relax and destress men. Being relaxed can make all the difference between good erectile function and being unable to enjoy sex as many men who work long hours in high pressure environments know.
