Why vikings didn’t suffer from erections problems
Did you know that many of our Ancient Ancestors, including Roman Gladiators, Vikings, and early Olympians didn’t suffer from erections problems…
…ever?
Could it be because many of these incredible physical specimens ate some surprising natural foods…
…foods that gave them high testosterone levels and strong, powerful boners?

Bioenergetics – breakthrough
Most people know that vitamin D is a very important nutrient.
You’re probably aware that it’s essential for immunity from infection and for bone health.
But vitamin D has far more roles in the body than most people are aware.
And only very recently, one of the most important roles of vitamin D was discovered.
Animal researchers investigated the role of vitamins D in energy production in muscles.
They found that vitamin D deficiency led to a significant decrease in energy production and muscle tissues.
It was already known that older people tend to have much lower levels of vitamin D.
And older folks tend to be weaker, failing muscles lead to falls and fractures.
This means that optimizing vitamin D levels could significantly increase strength, and perhaps even muscle mass, in older people.
The animal experiments were carried out at the University of Birmingham in the UK. The findings were published in The Journal of Endocrinology.
Weakness, loss of muscle mass and general fatigue has previously been observed in people and animals with vitamin D deficiency.
“Vitamin D deficiency is associated with symptoms of muscle myopathy including muscle weakness and fatigue.”
What researchers didn’t know was why exactly this might be the case.
I’ve written before about how I am a firm believer in the idea of Bioenergetics.
Bioenergetics means that energy production and the body’s structure are dependent upon each other.
When cells cannot produce energy efficiently, the structure of the body suffers.
This leads to disease, weakness, tiredness and even death.
Cells can produce energy in a number of different ways.
Mitochondrial respiration is the best way for cells to produce energy.
Recent discoveries have shown that vitamin D metabolites can have an effect on mitochondria – the energy producing engines of the body.
“Recently, vitamin D – related metabolites have been linked to the maintenance of mitochondrial function within skeletal muscle.”
So these researchers in the UK decided to find out exactly what was going on by carrying out some animal experiments.
In the experiment, rats were given different diets.
Some groups of rats were given enough vitamin D – other groups were fed vitamin D deficient diets.
“We utilised an established model of diet -induced vitamin D deficiency in mice.”
The different groups of mice were fed the different diets for three months.
After that period, the researchers carried out tests on energetic metabolism in the muscle tissue of the mice.
They found a massive decrease in healthy energy production in the muscle tissue of mice which were fed a vitamin D deficient diet.
“As a result of three months of vitamin D deficiency, mitochondrial respiration markers were 36% lower compared to vitamin D sufficient mice.”
In other words – vitamin D deficiency decreased energy production in the muscle by one third!
The experiments show that vitamin D is essential for mitochondrial respiration.
Mitochondrial respiration is the optimal production of energy inside the muscle tissue.
The findings are also supported by other recent research.
“When combined with previous observations, our data suggests that vitamin D regulation of mitochondrial function may underlie muscle fatigue and performance deficits observed during vitamin D deficiency.”
The research shows that vitamin D interferes with muscle performance because it lowers energy production in the muscles.
This solves one of the old puzzles surrounding vitamin D deficiency and fatigue.
But it’s important to note that older people tend to have vitamin D deficiency.
And older people also tend to have weaker muscles – even when adjusted for size.
Optimizing vitamin D levels in older folks could help to maintain strength…
Preventing falls which can cause fractures which are very difficult to recover from.
It’s possible to normalize your vitamin D levels with proper sunlight exposure or by taking vitamin D3 supplements.
A number of commonly available lab tests can help you to make sure that vitamin D is in the right range.

This one strange food is helping men live to 120 and beyond
I’ve discovered 1 strange food that very old and vital men are eating —
and they’re often living to 100, 110 or even 120…
While many so-called health gurus are dropping dead at 50 or 60 by AVOIDING this one food…
Here’s the 1 food — are you eating it or are you avoiding it?
Stanislaw Kowalski eats this 1 food… and he is still running races — and he’s 110 years old!
Orville Rogers eats this 1 food, and he’s 99 and runs marathons…
Magomed eats this 1 food — and he’s 121 years old and still grows and eats his own food.
