There are many foods that can contains nutrients that are required for a good penile erection. Plants are the category of foods that offer the most abundant nutrients, and people often regard vegetables and fruits as the best sources of nutrients.
In order to gain a hard erection, our body needs a mixture of vitamins and trace elements. The erection process is a very complex matter and according to Wikipedia, the mechanism underneath is still not very clear, but scientists are confident that increasing the nutrient level in our body can improve the erection condition.
These nutrients include zinc, trace elements, several vitamins like vitamin A, B1, B3 and vitamin C, omega 3 fatty acids and a lot more.
While zinc are mostly available in meats, the other nutrients can be found in plants.
A list of plants which are nutrient rich for improving erection
Pomegranate
Pomegranate is a plant that is able to enhance an erection. There are scientific studies showing a promoted blood flow to the penis, with the use of rabbits in experiments. This research, published in the Journal of Urology, shows the possibility of a cure of erectile dysfunction.
Pomegranate juice, the extract of the fruit, is quite popular in its function to improve erection hardness.
Nuts
Not only is seafood rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Nuts are rich in it too! This is a piece of great news for seafood haters.
Omega 3 fatty acids are known to be good for reducing cholesterol levels. This is because the fatty acids are able to relax arteries and blood vessels, so that blood can flow smoothly within our body. An erection is made possible by blood. Therefore, consuming enough omega 3 fatty acids can improve the condition of penile blood vessels, and improve erectile problems.
Spinach
Spinach is rich in magnesium. Researches showed that spinach is able to dilate blood vessels. Dilation of blood vessels means that more blood can be held by the same tube.
Obviously, spinach is good for helping erection due to its magnesium content. Blood volume is very important in erection. Erection is basically a result of increased blood flow to the penis. When more blood is held in the penile tissue, our penis increases in terms of size, and it also gains hardness.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, an important nutrient for our body. It is also beneficial to the condition of sperm, as it can keep sperm from clumping together.
Vitamin C provides sperm with a better foundation to find the ovum, so that sperm motility, an important factor for fertilization, can be improved.
Bananas
Banana is a very good fruits for human. It raises our body condition in all aspects because it is rich in nutrients. It contains not only vitamins, but also many amino acids which are good for mental health.
Not to mention the trace elements like magnesium and potassium. While you should already know the importance of magnesium (discussed in spinach), let’s take a look at potassium.
We cannot live without potassium. Potassium is required for pain relief, metabolism, cardiovascular function, nerve functions, regulating water balance and a lot more!
Potassium is also critical in blood circulation. You can call it blood circulation controller. Sufficient level of potassium in our body reduces blood pressure and keep us healthy. It also means that less risk of stroke during a vigorous sex!
Figs
Figs are rich in amino acids. Amino acids are the raw materials for hormones including testosterone, the sexual hormone.
Therefore, deficiency of amino acids not only gives you poor body health, but also weaker erection, lower sex drive and libido.
Onions
Onion has a nutrient called allicin. This allicin is phytochemical in nature, and it can thins the blood so that blood circulation is improved.
Celery
Celery is able to promote testosterone production, so that your sexual stamina can be improved.
Cherries and berries
Cherries and berries are rich in anthocyanins, which can prevent cholesterol to block the arteries and capillaries.
Chillies
Chillies increase our rate of blood circulation, and expand our blood vessels. More blood are pumped into capillaries (including penile blood vessels) – The foundation of a hard erection.
Ginger
Use Ginger in your cooking if you can and you can also take it as a daily tonic. Take a tablespoon of ginger juice with a half-boiled egg and some honey once daily and within a few weeks you will notice the difference in your health and libido daily. It gets the blood pumping and that’s as we have seen just what you need.
Garlic
Garlic like onions, are rich in allicin which increases blood flow and protects the heart.
This is just a tiny part of the list because there are too many vegetables and fruits that are good for our penile health to discuss about. However, the idea behind is that – the more essential nutrients you consume, the better erection you should get.
