Treating Weak Erection Naturally

Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a condition where a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection during intercourse. One in every five men have the problem of weak erection from the age of 40 and above. This problem affects nearly 30 million men in the United States and can be caused by both physical and psychological factors. There are many medications on the market for erectile dysfunction (ED), but a lot of guys prefer the natural route. Fortunately, there are several creative ways to tackle this challenge with low cost, naturally simple effort.

1. Exercise the body
   Bodily exercise is key in improving the mans, “mojo”. Exercise whether aerobic and strenuous one with weights boosts testosterone,- a key hormone for the “ other room”.
   Kegels for instance, which is an exercise in form of squatting are not just for the ladies. Men can get in on the action! Doing Kegel exercises regularly will strengthen your pelvic floor and can improve the drive as well as sexual performance. The exercises are fairly simple and you can find instructions online or ask your doctor for details. The typical regimen is to tighten the muscles at the bottom of your pelvic area, hold for 3 seconds and then release. Do this 10-15 times, 3 times a day for tip-top sexual fitness.
   Because arousal requires good blood flow, aerobic exercise is important to keep your cardiovascular system in shape. Maintaining a healthy weight can also be a key factor in reversing erectile dysfunction. Studies have shown that men with a waist measurement of 42 inches or higher have a 50 per cent greater chance of experiencing erectile dysfunction.
2. Limiting Alcohol
   One drink might help loosen you up and put you in the mood, but too much alcohol can quickly dampen your spirits if you suffer from erectile dysfunction. Alcohol can dull the central nervous system and your sexual reflexes. The more you drink, the less your body will able to feel, respond and perform at its best. Plus, heavy use of alcohol over time can damage the liver which leads to increased estrogen production in men. Cutting back on your drinks can boost your enjoyment in the bedroom.
3. Quitting Smoking
   Smoking is bad for your heart health and contributes to vascular disease, which ultimately affects blood flow to important areas like the genitals. To get maximum blood flow in all the right places, you’ll need to quit smoking tobacco of any kind. If your partner is a non-smoker, quitting might make you more appealing in the bedroom. And if your partner is a smoker, you can team up together to quit.
4. Ginseng
   Ginseng has been called the “herbal Viagra” and several studies have revealed that taking 600-1000 milligrams, three times a day can be an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. Make sure that you get “red ginseng” which is a steamed and dried version of the root. If you’re currently taking medication for ED or other conditions, check with your doctor before trying supplements so you can be sure there aren’t any negative drug interactions.
5. Try Ginger and Garlic Mix
   These herbal mixture is an old aphrodisiac used by ancient Egyptians and Greeks. The herbs boost erectile function and stamina. For instance, garlic apart from being a natural antibiotic has phytonutrients that help clears the veins and arteries and improves blood flow to the male organ. It also helps to strengthen the heart, which is a major driver in the sex act. Once the heart and the veins are in good shape, then interest and passion are ignited.
6. Watermelon
   Again, amino acids come to the rescue! The amino acid citrulline is found in heavy concentrations in watermelon and seems to enhance blood flow to the penis. One study reported that men who took a citrulline supplement showed a noticeable improvement in their erections and experienced greater satisfaction. At the very least, adding watermelon to your diet means you’ll be eating a little healthier.
