2. Start Doing Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are definitely not just an exercise designed for women. Men who engage in Kegel exercises have been found to regain their normal erectile function.
Kegel exercises help strengthen a man’s bulbocavernosus muscle for improved blood circulation to help him achieve better ejaculation. These pelvic exercises also help prevent incontinence. This is because men can empty their urethra after urination more effectively.
When combined with other lifestyle modifications, kegel exercises can certainly help improve a man’s sexual health.
3. Drink Watermelon Juice
Watermelon contains high concentrations of citrulline which is an amino acid, found by experts to be beneficial for improving the blood flow to the penis. An added benefit about citrulline is that it does not provide any unwanted side effects, unlike Viagra.
A group of researchers revealed that the regular consumption of watermelon juice might help improve a man’s libido while it may also serve as a natural treatment for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. This is made possible as the body converts citrulline from the watermelon into arginine that boosts nitric oxide to relax a man’s blood vessels. This effect is similar to what people who take Viagra experience.
4. Take Red Korean Ginseng
This herb has been known to boost a man’s potency, which is why it is commonly prescribed to men who want to improve their sexual energy.
A study showed that 60% of men who regularly took red Korean ginseng over a span of eight weeks were found to have improved their erectile ability. Besides boosting libido, red ginseng also improves stamina and decreases feelings of fatigue. These sexual benefits of red Korean ginseng can be attributed to its active ingredient called ginsenosides.
5. Eat Plenty Of Plant-Based Foods
According to another study, men who adhered to a healthy eating plan which included plenty of vegetables and fruits, and moderate amounts of fish, were found to have a risk reduction in developing erectile dysfunction. It is also equally important to reduce the consumption of processed foods, red meat, and refined grains.
6. Vitamin B12
It would also be wise to check that you’re not deficient in vitamin B12 because several studies have revealed that a deficiency in B12 can increase a man’s risk of erectile dysfunction. Cooked clams, beef liver, mackerel, and fortified cereals can be your excellent sources of vitamin B12.
