In addition to the prescribed medical treatments for erectile dysfunction , a diet can be recommended for better sexual health .

Foods can indeed boost testosterone and nitric oxide levels, which would result in better erectile function without exposing oneself to the dangers of erectile dysfunction drugs.

• Beet

Beet roots would be one of the best foods to help men with erectile dysfunction. They work in a similar way to Viagra by increasing the levels of nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis (erections require good blood circulation).

Beets are naturally rich in nitrates, which are turned into nitrites in your mouth when you eat them. The stomach converts nitrates to nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels and blood circulation, similar to the action of Viagra.

Carrots, radishes, celery, lettuce and turnip greens are also rich in nitrates, but beet root has the highest level of nitrates in all vegetables.

However, be careful with too much consumption that could accelerate aging!

• The watermelon

Watermelon contains many nutritious elements, such as citrulline, which is used to synthesize another essential amino acid in the body, arginine.

Arginine helps boost testosterone and is helpful for men with erectile dysfunction. Watermelon is also rich in lycopene, which naturally helps blood vessels to relax and increase blood flow to the penis.

• Cooked tomatoes

Tomatoes, like watermelon, are also rich in lycopene, which improves blood circulation. Guava and apricots are other good sources of lycopene. Be careful however to avoid canned tomatoes.

Indeed, cans are lined with bisphenol-A (BPA), an anti-androgen that blocks the normal action of testosterone in the body, increases the risk of prostate cancer and reduces the fertility of men.

• oats

If oats (oatmeal, oatmeal, porridge ) is not a sexy food, it would still be useful against erectile dysfunction. Oatmeal (the preparation of cereal grains, such as oatmeal, pearled wheat or barley, stripped of their cortical husks by incomplete grinding), such as watermelon, contains arginine.

These foods may be helpful in boosting sex life, but it is still useful to tell your doctor (or your spouse's doctor) if he or she is experiencing any changes in erectile function.

There may be other medical problems causing the symptoms. Many men are unaware that one of the first signs of heart problems is erectile dysfunction.

Diabetes, obesity, anxiety, depression , stress, smoking and the use of certain medications ... can also be the cause of impotence .
