Could such a serious condition like male ED be caused by something as simple as a deficiency in an everyday mineral?<\/p>\nCould such a serious condition like male ED be caused by something as simple as a deficiency in an everyday mineral?<\/p>\n
That would be a definite yes, according to a new study published the Journal of Academic Research in Medicine<\/em>.<\/p>\n And the best part is that you can get this mineral from many delicious foods, or as a supplement in every supermarket.<\/p>\n Researchers obtained information from 344 adult men who had arrived at a urology clinic for treatment; 155 of these men had ED and 189 did not.<\/p>\n The group with ED had significantly lower blood magnesium scores compared to those without ED.<\/p>\n Magnesium is important for good sexual function for several reasons:<\/p>\n 2. Magnesium has a protective effect against the hardening of smooth vascular muscle cells, and thereby prevents them from being damaged in a way that makes an erection impossible.<\/p>\n 3. Magnesium is a blood thinner that promotes blood flow to tissue. Without this, you cannot have an erection.<\/p>\n 4. Magnesium helps fend off prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease, all of which damage the blood vessels you need for an erection.\n<\/dl>\n Some of the best sources of magnesium are:<\/p>\n 2. Dark chocolate (those without added sugar are the healthiest).<\/p>\n 3. Nuts like almonds, cashews, peanuts, and Brazil nuts.<\/p>\n 4. Seeds like flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and chia seeds.<\/p>\n 5. Legumes like beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, soybeans, and soy-derived products like soymilk and tofu.<\/p>\n 6. Whole grains like buckwheat, brown rice, and quinoa.<\/p>\n 7. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel.<\/p>\n 8. Leafy green vegetables.\n<\/dl>\n With so many sources of magnesium, you should not have a problem with consuming a sufficient amount.<\/p>\n In most cases however, loading up on magnesium is not going to be enough to completely solve erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n1. Magnesium helps smooth muscles to contract and relax, which is essential for an erection.<\/p>\n
\n1. Fruits like avocado and banana.<\/p>\n
