The Power of Dark Berries

Dark berries like bilberries, elderberries, and blackberries have high levels of an antioxidant called anthocyanins. Experts say that eating these berries regularly is like having erection insurance. The penis requires nitric oxide to become erect. If you have too many free radicals wondering around the body, your nitric oxide levels drop and with that causes trouble for your penis. But these anthocyanins are so potent they can attack all of these free radicals and make sure you have the nitric oxide you need.

One study found that those arteries that had been treated with anthocyanins were able to retain high levels of nitric oxide even when they were flooded with free radicals.

Stop Snoring

Snoring can really disrupt a night of sex. Your tissues must have oxygen if they are going to be healthy, and your penile tissue is more sensitive than any other tissue. When you snore, you deprive your tissue of oxygen and I’m sure you can figure out the rest. Instead of wasting your money on all kinds of snoring aids, try elevating the head of your bed by about 3 inches. Snoring is really all about gravity and so if you can elevate yourself a bit this can put an end to snoring. You might have to experiment a bit to figure to figure out the most effect angle.

Learn to Love Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is more than just tasty; it’s medicine for your erection according to the University of California. That’s because dark chocolate contains epicatechins. These flavonoids cause dilating chemicals to be release in the inner artery layers. The study done by the University of California found that if you eat 1.6-ounces of dark-chocolate every day it will increase your blood vessel dilation by up to 10%. The study wasn’t for ED but it goes without saying that if it benefits the endothelial system its likely going to benefit the penis.

Reduce Your Estrogen

Yes men, you have estrogen and if your BMI is close to 25 or higher you will begin to convert testosterone into estrogen and that’s not good for your erection. Luckily, according to a publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it only takes a little bit of weight loss for you to once again begin to produce more testosterone than estrogen.

Check Out Your Medicine Cabinet

Most men are completely unaware of the effect that some over the counter and prescription medications can have on their erection. For example, the popular cholesterol lowering drug, Zocor, causes ED. So know what you are taking and what the side effects of that drug are.

Check Your Emotional State

If you are anxious, angry, stressed, upset, etc. it will have a direct affect on your performance, so before you too quickly reach for the Viagra, you might want to examine your emotional health and deal with any issues that you see there.

HGH Supplements

Human growth hormones are produced by your pituitary gland and they play a role in producing all kinds of hormones in the body, including testosterone. The trouble is by the time you are 30 your body is already producing significantly less HGH. Taking an HGH supplement is a great way to give your body the boost it needs and increase your HGH production, which in turn will increase your testosterone production and that’s good for your erection.

ED or erectile dysfunction is much more common than you might think, and while there are drugs like Viagra that can help, they have side effects, and some of them are serious. First, why not try having a look at the things we’ve discussed and see if you can’t find a better solution.
