Impotence, turn it on Naturally



                   
      As a urological surgeon I receive complaints of male impotence and infertility everyday. However, a good general health is essential to a good sex life. 

In this article I will examine how you can turn it on naturally.

If you have a poor sex life, please start by  asking your doctor to carry out a general medical check-up to include your blood pressure and kidney function. 

An annual medical is advisable. Treat any Hypertension, Anaemia, Kidney or Liver problems. 

Once you have had aa successful comprehensive medical check-up, these are the factors to consider.

Dietary Factors

Three major dietary substances have the greatest effect on the Health of the Penis. There are Zinc, Vitamin E and Arginine.

Zinc

Zinc is essential for spermatozoa production. An average man looses 15 mcg of zinc in every ejaculate. Since the body does not make zinc it has to come from food sources.

The main natural sources of zinc include;

Red meat

Pork

Chicken drumstick

Cashew nuts

Chickpeas

Yogurt

Folic acid

Spinach

Avocado

Vitamin E

This fat soluble enzyme is essential for the synthesis of spermatozoa. The main sources of vitamins E include;

Almonds

Olive oil

Palm oil

Peanut / Groundnuts

L-Arginine

Arginine is an amino acid that is produced by the body from protein sources like meat. It can also be taken as supplements.

The body uses the amino acid Arginine to produce nitric oxide (NO), a critically important molecule that acts as a vasodilator.

In other words, Arginine makes nitric oxide (NO), a substance that dilates our blood vessels and thereby increases the rate of blood flow throughout the entire body, organs and all extremities, including, of course, through the penile tissue.

Many foods are natural sources of low levels of arginine. They include nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts, almonds, cashews, and Brazil nuts. Also  seeds like sesame and sunflower. 

Oats, corn, cereals, chocolate, buckwheat and brown rice are rich in Arginine. Also dairy products, meat, chicken and turkey breasts.

Foods with a Viagra like effect

Watermelon

Dates

These food sources may act by dilating the blood vessels on your Penis like the prescribed drug Viagra.


Aphrodisiacs stimulate your sexual appetite and may help relieve impotence. Food sources that act as aphrodisiacs include;

Chocolate

Meat

Moderate alcohol -  1/2 glasses of wine daily

Oysters

Garlic

Chocolate

Chocolate 

Chocolate contains both a sedative which relaxes and lowers inhibitions and a stimulant to increase activity and the desire for physical contact. It also contains an amino acid- L-Arginine which is known to increase semen volume.

Bananas

Suggestively shaped, bananas reduce blood pressure and we all know that there’s nothing quite like excessively high blood pressure (also known as hypertension) to cause erectile dysfunction. Due not only to its shape, but also its creamy, lush texture, some studies show its enzyme bromelain enhances male performance.

Oysters

Oysters have been on the list of libido lifters for centuries now. Casanova reportedly had dozens every morning before setting out on his amorous quests. Research shows that bivalve molluscs are actually rich in zinc, essential for testosterone production, and hence can boost sexual performance in men and women.

Garlic

If you think garlic is effective only against cold and heart disease, you will be surprised to know that it has been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries. It contains allicin which helps in blood flow towards male sexual organs and also in increasing the quality of sperm.

Regular exercise. 

Improves general circulation, stamina, endurance and confidence.

Sleep

It advisable for adults to get  7-8 hours of sleep daily.

Manage Stress 

Job insecurity, money concerns, a falling out with a friend etc any of these can lead to problems in the bedroom. Look for triggers.

Did something happen two years ago when it started?
Are you having relationship issues?
How do you treat each other outside of the bedroom?
Do you get quality time together?
Is he maintaining a healthy lifestyle and not drinking too much?

Drugs

You may have to ask your doctor for medication. You may derive some respite with Viagra or herbal ones like Pine bark.

Seek counselling

See someone who has the skills to address this in a safe place. Consider stress free holiday breaks. You may also benefit from a body massage.


Things to avoid

Excessive alcohol consumption (Max 14 units of alcohol per week).

Smoking.

Soya products 

Soya beans are anti-testosterone, the male sex hormone.

Sexually transmitted infections STIs.  Treat promptly and completely. Ensure you undergo post treatment laboratory test to confirm cure.
