How to Treat Erectile Dysfunction Erectile dysfunction has become an issue among many men and it no longer just affects men as they age but even younger men at their prime are also affected by the same malady. There are some things that one can use to eradicate this debilitating condition. What one feeds on is a key issue to look into. Scientific studies have shown that the same foods that lead to heart attacks because of diminished blood flow in coronary arteries can also block the flow of blood into and out of the sexual organs of a man. A fact worth highlighting is that the physiology behind erections is that blood flows into the male sexual organ and makes it erect thus in the absence of blood there will be erectile dysfunction. An incredible fact to state is that the diet that is associated with erectile dysfunctions is one that is rich in fatty, processed and fried fruits that have little or no fruits. Many scientific scholars say that whatever food is good for a man’s heart is also good for their genital organs and science has even shown that people that consume a diet that is rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and good fat like olive oil, nuts, fish and has wine have a lower likelihood of getting erectile dysfunction. Another thing that can lead to erectile dysfunction is the amount of weight that one has and science has shown that being overweight can bring about many health issues such as diabetes type two that also leads to neuropathy (meaning if affects the nerves) and any disease that affects the nerves can affect the nerves that supply the male sexual organ leading to erectile dysfunction. Hypertension High or high cholesterol has been shown that it damages blood vessels and even those blood vessels that supply blood to the male sexual organ which may lead to erectile dysfunction. It is therefore wise to frequently visits a doctor so that they can have their blood pressure and levels of cholesterol tested and this can even be done by visiting a local fire station or store. It is worth stating that aside from having a high blood pressure and cholesterol levels that are off the chart anti-hypertensive medications can make it hard for one to get an erection but in most cases like this the erectile dysfunction is not caused by the medications but the progressive arterial damage that happens when one has hypertension. Various research studies have shown that alcohol is not only bad for one’s liver but even for the genital organs and science has even shown that even though mild or moderate intake of alcohol does not cause erectile dysfunction but heavy alcohol intake is can affect so many organs and systems in the body like the liver and the nervous system. Alcohol has also been proven to be a predisposing factor to an imbalance in the male sexual hormones thus leading to erectile dysfunction.Smart Ideas: Health Revisited
