Explain how caring for your body and keeping fit can contribute to positive sexuality in midlife.
What will be an ideal response?
Creating a healthy lifestyle to maintain a healthy sex life can make a big difference in our relationship satisfaction as we age.
Creating a healthy lifestyle is one way to maintain our relationship satisfaction during midlife. Some basic guidelines for well-being at any age are obvious: Keep a healthy body weight, exercise regularly, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid excessive alcohol intake, and refrain from smoking.
Staying healthy overall allows the body to continue to respond sexually to a partner, perhaps not at the same level, but with the deepening sense of enjoyment that sometimes characterizes this stage of maturation. Sexual performance can serve as a barometer of our physical and mental health.
The current trend toward sexual literacy and the recognition that sexual functioning is a sign of good health and well-being in general affords both doctors and patients the sense that talking about sexual functioning is healthy and vital to well-being in the second half of life.
