Beating Erectile Dysfunction

Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction and either don’t want to take a pill regularly to deal with it or can’t afford doing so. Other men, mostly younger, don’t feel comfortable going to their doctor for help. Fortunately, there are natural options for combating erectile dysfunction without taking pills like Viagra or Cialis.

Diet

Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of a poor cardiovascular system or even diabetes. In these scenarios, diet can have a huge impact on improving the ailment.

Someone who suffers from cardiovascular disease is most likely partaking in an unhealthy diet full of unhealthy fats and refined sugars and starches. Sadly, these dietary options are prevalent in Western diets.

One of the first things someone can do, then, to improve this situation is eliminate any sweets, especially soda, which many people drink cans of a day. Refined starches are found in just about everything that comes in a box, so another huge step forward can be taken by getting rid of cereals (especially the sugary kind), chips and frozen food.

Replacements for these foods are easy to find. Instead of eating cereal in the morning, try eggs, toast, grapefruit, unsweetened yogurt, etc. Snacks can be replaced with fruits, nuts and vegetables.

Most Western diets are sadly bereft of vegetables, anyway. This is a problem as vegetables are high in vitamins and nutrients. The good thing about vegetables, as well as fruit, when it comes to weight loss is that both are high in fiber and make the body feel fuller.
