Men from 18 to 98 years old want to improve their sexual performance. The good news is that certain surprising foods help your friend reach a stiff salute.
Here are five foods to help upgrade your erections:
#1 - Chili Peppers
Add spice to your sex life with these red delights. Chilies help expand your blood vessels allowing more blood to flow into your penis. More blood means a harder erection.
#2 - Red Wine
Sure, we have all heard a glass of red wine can have overall health benefits. But, a unique advantage is the one it has for your erection quality.
We took notice of a recent study(1) conducted by Harvard University, in partnership with the University of East Anglia, which followed men for over 30 years and found that those who drank red wine on a regular basis were less likely to develop ED.
Wine is filled with the antioxidant phytochemical resveratrol which can increase nitric oxide production. Like how Viagra works, nitric oxide allows the blood vessels to expand. However, while the little blue pill only expands small blood vessels, the resveratrol found in red wine helps improve the small vessels as well as critical main arteries.
Drink red wine in moderation as too much alcohol can make your penis fall fast asleep.
#3 - Salmon
Allow more blood to pump to your penis with this fish packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon helps keep your arteries slick allowing for more blood to pass through. You can keep your arteries nice and slick by adding fish like salmon, tuna, trout, and even mackerel in your diet up to twice a week.
#4 – Garlic & Onions
It is fair to say that onions and garlic on your breath can quickly kill a romantic moment, but they’re great for steely erections. These veggies have high amounts of the phytochemical allicin which is excellent for thinning your blood, improving circulation, and allowing blood to flow to your erect penis. You may want to keep some mints handy, though!
#5 – Bananas
One of the secrets to powerful erections is potassium. Bananas are high in potassium which can also keep your heart healthy and help enhance circulation.
Another key benefit to potassium is that it helps reduce your risk of heart issues by controlling your sodium levels, which in turn keep your blood pressure in check.
