One out of three men may be affected by premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives, according to a report issued by the Mayo Clinic.
‘Ask Men’ website states that premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates too early or before the woman orgasms, while erectile dysfunction occurs when a man becomes sexually excited, but has difficulty producing or maintaining an erection during the sexual act.
While a regular exercise routine is helpful for increasing a man’s sexual energy, a healthy diet can be even more effective, by focusing on a number of foods such as the following:
1. Blueberries
According to The Singles Café, blueberries are considered a “super sexual” food for men because they function like Viagra, since they are packed with compounds that help relax the blood vessels and improve circulation within the body. Moreover, blueberries are loaded with fiber, which helps to push excess cholesterol out of the system before it can be absorbed and deposited into the arteries. Therefore, lower cholesterol and increased blood flow result in a flow of blood to the penis during sex, causing firmer and longer erections.
2. Figs
Kate McCracken, personal trainer and owner of the website Kurvaceous, says that figs are high in amino acids which can increase sexual stamina.
3. Raw Oysters
According to the website Eat, Drink Better, raw oysters contain a large amount of zinc, which is vital for testosterone, sperm, and semen production. In addition, raw oysters contain dopamine, which creates a feeling of happiness, which in turn can increase a man’s desire to prolong sex.
4. Peanuts
Dr. Nicholas Perricone, board-certified dermatologist and healthy aging expert, stated that peanuts are a rich natural source of the amino acid, L-arginine, which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis causing more blood flow to the region, therefore, increasing sexual stamina during sex.
5. Garlic
Garlic contains allicin, a compound that is thought to increase blood flow to the sexual organs.
6. Bananas
Natural News states that bananas increase the male’s sexual energy, since they contain an enzyme called bromelain, which improves male potency, sexual stamina and increases libido.
7. Chocolate
Chocolate contains the endurance boosters, phenylethylamine and alkaloid that contains a caffeine effect that increases energy.
