Natural foods for a rock-hard erection

Banana

This is no surprise. Bananas have potassium and potassium is good for a man’s heart and circulation. Adequate amounts keep sodium levels under control and lower the risk of high blood pressure. Tryptophan found in bananas is a mood enhancer. The fruit also contains magnesium and manganese, two important minerals a lot of men are deficient in; they are important for a healthy and functional prostate.

Hot peppers

The secret to a hard-on is simply to push more blood into your penal blood vessels. Hot peppers do just that to a man’s genitals. Also they are good for the heart and basically, what is good for a man’s heart is good for his penis. So get red hot and spicy!

Watermelon

Watermelon has been picked as being a natural Viagra food and here’s why. What Viagra does is that it helps to relax the blood vessels in a man’s penis, and allows blood to flow into his Corpus Cavernosum and Spongiosum when he becomes sexually excited. Experts claim that watermelon works in a like manner due to ‘citrulline’, a chemical found in the fruit. Citrulline kickstarts the production of the amino acid arginine that helps relax and dilate blood vessels and hence, improves the circulation of blood the same way Viagra does.

Dark Chocolates

Men are not as crazy about chocolates as women are. But I feel dark chocolates can do it for them. Dark chocolate has a compound called phenylethylamine. It releases the same endorphins that can be triggered by sex. According to a research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, dark chocolate also increases attraction feeling between two people. Brain scans in a recent British study indicated that eating chocolate can cause a more intense and prolonged brainbuzz than kissing does.

Red, Red Wine

Italian researchers recently discovered that the antioxidants and alcohol in the wine might trigger production of nitric oxide in the blood. This in turn helps artery walls to relax by increasing blood flow to a man’s genitals. The key is to limit yourself to a glass or two because more alcohol can do the exact opposite to your erection. Dark grape juice is said to contain antioxidant polyphenols which can help protect the cardiovascular system and keep the skin flexible and elastic.

Beans and other Proteins

Proteins are necessary for weight management. It is important that a man should have enough protein with every meal. They boost the body’s metabolism during digestion more than any other type of food. They also help build muscle and stall muscle loss that naturally happens as a person age. A man needs his muscles in perfect order during sex.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a testosterone booster. The male hormone has an important role to play in the sex drive and orgasm of both men and women. Oats contain L-arginine. It is an amino acid which makes better the effect of nitric oxide has on reducing blood vessel stiffness. And I’d like to call the penis a natural blood vessel. *winks. L-arginine is known to treat erectile dysfunction and similar to Viagra, it relaxes the muscles around the blood vessels in the penis. How it happens is that when they dilate, blood flow increases to maintain a healthy erection.

So, these are my top seven erection boosters. They are affordable and within reach. It doesn’t matter how young you are, you can start now to protect your junk as the sex drive of men and their ability to keep their erections up for longer is known to reduce as they get older.
