Men who follow the mediterranean diet, which focuses on whole foods such as beans, fruits and vegetables, nuts, olive oil, and whole grains, are less likely to experience erectile dysfunction, according to a meta-analysis appearing in the journal of sexual medicine.

Mediterranean dietary plan contributes to the prevention of erectile dsyfunction through a variety of features, including an improvement in glucose metabolism and lipid levels, increased antioxidant potency, and higher arginine levels, which in turn could boost nitric oxide activity and thus improve erectile function.

The mediterranean diet is one of the most heart healthy diets on the planet and studies have shown that it both helps existing and prevents future erectile dysfunction. The well-known lyon diet heart study showed that after an average follow-up time of about four years, patients following the mediterranean-style diet had a 50 70 percent lower risk of recurrent heart disease. That's great news for your heart and your sex life!â this was re-verified by italian researchers who tested the erectile-improving capacities of the mediterranean diet on men with metabolic syndrome and found that it significantly improved their erectile capacity. 

The mediterranean diet also has also been shown to dramatically reduce the risk of dying from cancer and heart disease. Nuts, olive oil, legumes, cereals, fish, red wine, fruits and vegetables, unsaturated fat, low intake of dairy products, no intake of red meat is what the mediterranean diet is all about.


On top of these benefits to both your erectile and cardiac strength, a mediterranean diet has also passed the most rigorous of all tests:â mortality studies. The results of these studies have shown that the mediterranean diet improves overall mortality, which means that it is good for both your heart and multiple cancers, etc. 

Another reason that the mediterranean diet probably help with erectile dysfunction is that a recent study found to improve metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a set of conditions (high blood pressure, insulin resistance, poor lipids, etc.) that plague india.

Mediterranean diet has also been shown to prevent alzheimer's disease and dementia. The greater the adherence to the mediterranean diet, the less the risk of alzheimer's. Those with the greatest adherence to the mediterranean diet had a 40% less risk than those with the least. So it's not just the heart and penis that desperately need you to follow the mediterranean diet:â it's the brain itself. To consult the famous sexologist you can visit doctorsharmila.
