Every man wants a better sex life than the one he currently has.  By making simple changes to your diet you will be able to improve your overall sexual health.  Not only will these natural changes improve your sexual health, but you won’t have to worry about a pharmaceutical company helping you prepare for the moment.

VITAMIN B3

The keys to a better and healthier sex life are a better circulation of blood and your sex hormones.  While exercise is great to improve your circulation and blood flow, VITAMIN B3 (Niacin) helps with the creation of sex hormones, improves your circulation and helps regulate sleep patterns and erectile dysfunction.  Get your Vitamin B3 from milk and red-meats.

VITAMIN E

Found in sunflower seeds, peanuts and almonds, Vitamin E is great for your immune system, also helps with the creation of sexual hormones, keeps your blood from clotting and has been shown to improve sperm activity in some studies.

VITAMIN B12

While Vitamin E takes care of your immune system, Vitamin B12 takes care of your nerves and blood cells. A Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to any one of the over FOUR-HUNDRED types of Anemia, which is a condition that makes you incredibly tired and weak. Vitamin B12 can be found in eggs, beef, lamb, liver, and some cheeses.

VITAMIN C

While Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B3 all help with the blood, Vitamin C increases your blood flow and it’s PRESSURIZED blood that not only helps you achieve an erection, but how long and strong of an erection you will have. Vitamin C is also great for your immune system which allows you to fight off those colds and flu bugs.  How many ladies do you know who find a man with a runny nose, watery eyes, or can’t hold down his food, desirable? So increase your intake of strawberries, potatoes, peppers, oranges and lemons, as these are all great natural sources of VITAMIN C.  Be careful though; too much Vitamin C will cause diarrhea.  That will really kill your sex life!

VITAMIN B9

Vitamin B9 is also referred to as Folic Acid which is the man-made supplement.  Found in enriched grain products, Vitamin B9 has been shown to reduce abnormal sperm and if combined with zinc, it actually helps to increase the sperm count.

VITAMIN B6

Vitamin B6 helps in the production of red blood cells, serotonin which helps regulate your moods, and dopamine, which motivates you to “go get it”.  You can find Vitamin B6 in Bananas, tuna, chicken, bell peppers, and spinach.

VITAMIN A

Men with a Vitamin A deficiency are commonly impotent.  This will kill your sex life, make no questions about it. Boost your Vitamin A with spinach, watermelon, pecans, tomatoes, eggs, and tuna.

So now that you know what the key vitamins are to improve your sexual health and where you can find them naturally, make a shopping list and hit up your local grocery store. A healthier diet with lots of hormone nourishing vitamins is a good long term treatment plan for any man who may be suffering from impotence. As these are the types of foods that will help pump more blood to your penis to give you stronger erections.
