100 grams of every day and they saw a decrease in erectile dysfunction. >> So nuts will make my penis harder.
00:00:07
>> There's a study called the health professionals follow-up study. They
00:00:09
looked at 20,000 men and they saw that men who adhered to a Mediterranean diet had a 22% lower risk of erectile
00:00:17
dysfunction. What specific things in that diet? What are the superfoods I need to have? Almonds are great, but
00:00:23
pistachios, they actually did a study on pistachios where they looked at 100 grams of pistachios every day and they
00:00:28
saw a decrease in erectile dysfunction. >> So, pistachio nuts will make my penis
00:00:32
harder. >> I mean, so I always say like I don't love to talk about superfoods because
00:00:36
then people like, oh, I just got to eat pistachios and it's all good, right?
00:00:38
It's it's part of a whole diet, but certainly having nuts because they have
00:00:42
great omega-3s, they have healthy fats, these are the reasons that they they really sort of improve diet. Anything
00:00:48
that has sort of flavonoids, colorful fruit like blueberries, citrus fruits, lycopine which is red fruits, all of
00:00:55
these things improve antioxidants and also have been shown to reduce the incidence of erectile dysfunction. So
00:01:01
having stronger erections specifically blueberries actually came out to have I think something around 20% also
00:01:07
improvement in erectile function when you're eating blueberries regularly. So
00:01:11
lots of I think things in the diet that can be helpful. Also, fiber is one that we don't talk about enough. When you eat
00:01:18
fiber in your gut, it converts to short- chain fatty acids. These short- chain fatty acids then sort of have these
00:01:24
endothelop protective mechanisms. They protect the blood vessels. They make them healthier. And so when your blood
00:01:29
vessels are healthier, you get better metabolic health. So you get less diabetes, less high blood pressure, less
00:01:34
high cholesterol. And these all of these things together improve erectile function. So I think making sure that
00:01:41
you meet the criteria for fiber which is 38 g for men, 25 g for women um is really really important and then
00:01:49
obviously managing your calories in a maintenance right because we don't want
00:01:53
to gain weight because excess atapost tissue or excess fat also puts you at higher risk for erectile dysfunction and
00:01:59
other sexual dysfunctions.
