[jessica]

The Greek physician Hippocrates quotes, “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food”. Well, undoubtedly, the word has stood to the test of time. Food is an overall asset for every mood, every disease, and every occasion. Be it a party, or a bad mood, a health disorder, or just an occasional craving, food always helps.

Your diet plays a very important role in shaping your body and health and your overall well-being. What you feed to your body decides what goes into your mind. Eating right is itself an art.

A balanced diet is a diet incorporating all the basic meals of a day rich in all the nutrients namely carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, protein, minerals, and water. These nutrients are needed to be consumed in an optimum requirement chalked out based on different factors associated with your body like height, weight, age, sex, etc.

When we talk of diet and food, quality always superiors quantity. Being full doesn't mean you are having a balanced meal. What you eat decides how much effective your food intake is.

In this article, we are going to discuss dietary management and control to cure one of the most common sexual health disorders, Erectile Dysfunction.

Some major changes in your diet and limited alcohol consumption and completely avoiding smoking can reduce the risk of ED to a large extent. The correct balance of foods also boosts your health, maintains your stress levels, and thus, if you are well balanced in all the aspects, your sex life would be as great as ever.

The following are some must-include foods in your diet that help enhance your sex drive as well as treat your Erectile Dysfunction.

1) Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet highly helps in reducing the incidences of cardiovascular diseases and thus improving sexual function and activity. Following foods are a major part of a Mediterranean diet-

legumes
whole grains

2) Protein containing foods
L-Arginine is an amino acid that is the most important part of protein-rich foods because it helps the body to make nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is quite important for the relaxation of blood vessels and easy blood flow towards the penis. Thus consuming rich l-arginine foods is essential for sexual health. Good food sources of l-arginine are-
poultry
red meat
fish
nuts
dairy products

3) Dry fruits
Dry fruits are known to be a good source of fiber, protein, and iron. Out of all the nuts, pistachios are found to be the most effective ones in treating Erectile Dysfunction. According to a study conducted in 2011, around 17 males who had ED for at least 1 year consumed 100 grams of pistachios per day for 3 weeks. During the observation after the study, it was found that men who ate pistachios had improvement in their scores for-
erectile function
cholesterol levels
blood pressure
Pistachios are a good source of plant proteins, fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats which contribute to healthy heart functioning and steady nitric oxide release.

4) Flavonoids
These are a group of plant compounds named phytonutrients and are found in fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids improve endothelial function and blood pressure. A prospective study of 10 years involving 25,096 middle-aged men proved that those who consumed flavonoids in their diet had a 9-11% reduced chance of having ED. These flavonoid-rich foods can be a boon to their diet to your ED those who ate the following six flavonoid-rich foods and drinks:
strawberries

Being 92% water, we do not consider the rest 8% of the watermelon useful enough to cure the ED problem. But this 8% is rich in antioxidants and works wonders for heart and sex life.
