5 Natural Remedies to Improve Erection

1. Walk 3,000 meters every day

The latest research from the Boston University School of Medicine found that walking (not running) 2 miles (about 3,000 meters) a day can significantly reduce the incidence of ED. If combined with other exercises such as swimming, the risk of ED in obese men will be even lower, and even the current ED symptoms can be reversed. In addition, controlling waist circumference is also very important.

2. Kegel pelvic exercises

The pelvic floor muscles (love muscles) are very important for the sexual ability of both men and women. Men can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles such as the corpus cavernosum by doing Kegel exercises, which is not only beneficial to intestinal and bladder health, but also can improve sexual function and reduce the risk of ED. Kegel exercises can be performed whether you are resting on the sofa or driving. A study conducted by Dr. Jennifer Burns, a family medicine expert in Pennsylvania, USA, found that Kegel exercises twice a day for three consecutive months, combined with lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, losing weight and limiting alcohol, can significantly improve the condition of ED patients.

3. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is not only effective in treating many common diseases such as back pain and depression, but also helps treat ED. Many studies have found that acupuncture can relieve pain or pressure by stimulating multiple acupuncture points throughout the body, thereby soothing the patient's mood and making him more relaxed, and the quality of erections will also be improved to a certain extent. Studies have found that after receiving acupuncture treatment, 39% of ED patients have normal sexual function.

4. Supplement arginine

Dr. Burns said that arginine is an amino acid produced naturally in the human body, which works together with nitric oxide to help with erection. Nitric oxide is responsible for relaxing blood vessels and helps maintain male erection. The latest research found that 31% of ED patients had significantly improved sexual function after supplementing with high doses of arginine (5 grams/day) for 6 consecutive weeks. Foods containing arginine include eel, snakehead fish, sea cucumber, tendon, soy products, lean meat, fruits and vegetables, etc.

5. Drink watermelon juice

A watermelon study conducted by Dr. Bim Patel and his colleagues at Texas A&M University found that patients with mild ED had significantly improved erectile function after taking citrulline extracted from watermelon. The reason is that citrulline can cause the body to produce a compound that helps relax blood vessels, thereby exerting an effect similar to that of sexual dysfunction treatment drugs and improving male ED symptoms. Watermelon is called "Nature's Viagra" and has a certain aphrodisiac effect, and it does not produce side effects such as nausea and diarrhea caused by drugs such as Viagra.
