Erectile dysfunction or ED in short has become quite common these days. It is the problem of the inability to have an erection that is needed for sexual intercourse. While there are many reasons and various remedies to ED, there are some home remedies that you can try in private.
Walking and Eating Right
According to a scientific study, regular walking and healthy balanced diets can drop the risk of ED by 40%. So, doctors suggest having a brisk walk of 30 minutes or more every day. Also, maintain a healthy and balanced diet that contains fruits, whole grains, vegetables, fish, etc. with very little or no processed meat.
Look After Your Blood
3 major causes of erectile dysfunction are high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. These three attack your blood vessels which in turn can cause heart attack, brain stroke or ED. Therefore, keep your waistline in check and get a healthy heart, safe brain and functioning penis. Note that just a 10 inches increase in waistline can hike 50% of ED risk.
Smoking & Drinking
What’s more important to you — the burning stick on your lips, or the aching stick between your legs? Nicotine and alcohol are both enemies of healthy body functions including a healthy penis. Quit now and you will see improvement soon.
Do Kegels
The pelvic floor muscles are imperative when it comes to getting and maintaining an erection. And it works like any other muscle in the body — the more you work it, the stronger it gets. The best way to do this is to perform Kegel exercises whenever you are idle. Doing Kegels regularly can give you night miraculous results on your erection issues.
Ginkgo Biloba
This exotic herb is known to increase blood flow to the penis, and it is said it was used in medieval Chinese brothels to retain customers. You can try this herbal remedy at home for ED too. But be warned: ginkgo is not risk-free — it comes with dizziness, stomach upset, palpitations, and blood issues.
Ginseng
Panax ginseng is another herb known to have helped in an erection. It works on the spongy muscles on your penis, helping you achieve and keep an erection more easily. A 2012 study suggests that ginseng works well in treating mild ED, but it needs more research to say anything for certain. However, do note that ginseng is also well-known to cause insomnia.
