Better Erections

Better Erections, Without Drugs
You don't need Viagra to have firmer erections.

Mention older men’s wilting erections, and people immediately think Viagra. Yes, Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, can raise flags that have fallen to half staff. But fewer than half of men over 50 have tried them, and of those, fewer than half have renewed their prescriptions. Why? Because the drugs don’t work as well as advertised, and the side effects can be annoying.

There are other ways to boost flagging erections. First adopt a healthy lifestyle, then try two supplements. For an erection-supporting lifestyle:

• Don't smoke.

• Eat less meat, less cheese and whole-milk dairy, and fewer rich desserts.

• Eat more fruits and vegetables.

• Get regular exercise.

• Don't have more than two alcoholic drinks a day.

Erection depends on healthy nervous and cardiovascular systems. Sexual stimuli trigger the nervous system to open the arteries in the penis, allowing greater inflow of blood. Neurological and cardiovascular problems can impair this process.
