Protecting Your Erection

 

1. Have a good diet
A healthy diet that’s good for your heart will also go some way to protecting your potency.
“The risk factors for ED are the same for coronary disease, so if you lower your cholesterol, take exercise and eat healthily it will be of benefit,” says Dr Graham Jackson, consultant cardiologist and chairman of the Sexual Advice Association. Blood flow is needed for the penis to become erect. Diets that include very few fruits and vegetables along with lots of fatty, fried and processed foods can contribute to decreased blood circulation throughout the body.

2. Stay slim
If you are overweight you have a higher risk of many health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. There have been studies suggesting having a large waist can increase your risk of erection problems but there’s no definitive proof this is the case.
