Dietary Help For ED

Preventing and Treating ED

In my research, I’ve found that when you give the body the right tools, it can heal itself and do miraculous things.
I know there are all kinds of natural foods you can add to the diet,  in order to provide those tools. I am going to expand on those, in this article.

A serious problem today with men is Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED. One survey (1) found that 50% of men aged 40 and up had ED, and another (2) found that 33% of men aged 50 and up complained of having ED in the past 3 months. This can affect men mentally (depression and anxiety), relationship-wise, and certainly with their health.

Pharmaceutical drugs (Check the side affects of any pharmaceutical drugs you are taking. ED is a main side affect of many commonly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs.),  heart disease, obesity, diabetes, older age, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle all increase the risk of ED. (3) Studies show that 70% of all erectile dysfunction caused by non-psychological factors is due to blood vessel problems and diabetes. (4)

In fact, the first sign of heart disease is sexual dysfunction. (5)
 
More seriously, men who have ED are 70% more likely to die prematurely than men without ED. (6)

A 2-year study took men with ED and placed them on a high fiber diet of fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats (a Mediterranean diet), and the results were better erections. (7)

I listen to men talk about how they crave steak, chicken, fish, and burgers, in order to be bulked up or to be a manly man. The Paleo diet has been all the rage. These ‘manly’ foods are actually producing the exact opposite of what manly parts need to be functional.

To prevent and treat erectile dysfunction, try making the choice to cut down or eliminate steak, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken wings.  Try adding fresh fruits and vegetables, grilled Portobello mushrooms, sprouted lentils, quinoa and beans to your eating plan, and see what a difference that makes.

Look beyond TV commercials and stereotypes of masculinity. Research shows us that it’s the healthy, fresh, whole vegetarian foods that actually boosts the best sexual function throughout your lifetime.

A more vegetarian diet can do amazing things for your health and it can be delicious!
(You might want to read my book: How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian (second edition). I have taught many Texas men, including Larry Hagman – Aka- J. R. Ewing from the show Dallas, how to love being a vegetarian and enjoy the food.)
 
There is also a fairly new product on the market that I have understood has helped some men taking it with more health and vitality!

It was developed for joint health, but because it helps restore ligament and tendon health as well as  hydration for the whole body on a deep cellular level, apparently it does a lot more than just that.

I’ve talked to a few women, whose husbands have taken this supplement for more than a year, and they have mentioned that it has helped with their love life as well as helping relieve the joint pain and dry skin.

If you wish to order it, order wholesale, put it on auto ship and you will save over $50 a month. I only recommend taking it if you are going to stick with it for at least 3 to 6 months. It takes it time to work and everyone is different.

I actually take this supplement myself, because it helped my back and hip joint become pain-free from scoliosis.

I take the Life Blend. It’s a liquid I drink 2 ounces two times a day.

I call it my fountain of youth supplement, because it helps me feel younger, look younger and live free of pain in my joints and bones. The side affects of this supplement are that your skin will start being less dry, thicker, and more youthful.
It’s also great for athletes, because it helps with endurance and recovery and is approved by the NSF.

I wish you a life filled with joy, laughter, and true health!
