Step 1: Exercise—get moving and increase daily physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle increases the likelihood of erectile problems ten-fold!
Step 2: Increase omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. They decrease risk of sudden cardiac death and increase nitric oxide (NO).
Step 3: Increase antioxidants in your diet. They increase NO production and help prevent its breakdown.
Step 4: Increase folic acid in your diet for NO production. It also helps prevent high blood pressure.
Step 5: Use it or lose it—more sustained erections are healthy for you. They lessen the chance of ED and increase NO production.
Step 6: Don’t smoke and avoid second-hand smoke to reduce ED. The chemicals in cigarette smoke damage the lining of your blood vessels.
Step 7: Decrease alcohol—moderate amounts are still ok. Excessive alcohol can cause premature ejaculation and harm blood vessels.
Step 8: Lose abdominal fat—get rid of the spare tire! It causes higher blood sugar levels and more ED.
Step 9: Increase L-arginine and L-citrulline in your diet. Both serve as the raw material for NO production.
Step 10: Decrease sugar and fat intake—for more sweetheart sex. They decrease NO and increase blood vessel disease.
