Erectile dysfunction is a complex condition, but luckily, there are a number of ways to treat it. ED is the result of a number of factors. But how does one go about finding a simple trick to cure ED? Drugs like Viagra and Cialis are popular and easily obtainable. However, you don’t always need a prescription to treat ED. In fact, changing your lifestyle may be all you need to do.
Although ED can have a devastating effect on your love life, you can find a simple strategy to help cure your ED. According to Harvard Health Publishing, there are several natural ways to help you overcome your erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors, including smoking, heart disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Peyronie’s Disease. Peyronie’s Disease is a condition in which there is scar tissue inside the penis. Experts say that losing weight and exercising are good ways to treat your ED. Certain lifestyle changes can have a positive effect on the condition.
You don’t always need a prescription or a fancy strategy to cure your ED. Sometimes making a lifestyle change is all you need to do. Oftentimes, ED is the result of a medication you are taking or the direct result of stress and anxiety.
One simple way to cure your ED is to start walking. Studies have found that men who walk for 30 minutes each day are at a 41 percent decreased risk of developing the condition. Men who already have ED may find that their symptoms improve with increased activity. Moderate exercise has also been credited with restoring sexual performance for middle-aged men with ED. Eating a healthy diet can decrease a man’s chances of developing ED. This means eating healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains. You should cut back on red and processed meat and refined grains. Doing so decreases your likelihood of getting ED and may actually help cure your ED.
Pay attention to your cardiovascular health. In some cases, erectile dysfunction can by the sign of a more serious condition, like heart disease. At one point, atherosclerosis or plaque in the arteries was believed to be the cause of erectile dysfunction. A study conducted in 2004 found that men with risk factors related to cardiovascular disease had a higher likelihood of developing ED.
Research now suggests that men diagnosed with ED should be screened for heart disease before settling upon a treatment option. Men who smoke and consume large amounts of alcohol are at an increased risk of developing ED. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity are all risk factors for ED. This is why implementing a healthy lifestyle can cure ED or at least lead to fewer ED symptoms.
Weight gain also contributes to the development and maintenance of ED. Try to slim down, if you’re overweight. Studies say that men with a 42-inch waistline are more likely to develop ED than men with a 32-inch waistline. One way to combat this is to get active and shed a few pounds. Of course, this is easier said than done, but exercise is by far one of the best ways to cure ED.
Once you lose weight, it is important to maintain your weight loss. According to Hims, obesity can have a huge impact on your ability to get an erection. While there is no documented evidence that obesity-related health conditions cause ED, studies have found that losing weight can lead to an improvement in sexual performance, which improves one’s quality of life. Obesity has a strong effect on testosterone, the hormone responsible for male development. This may increase the likelihood of developing ED.
Lifestyle and diet changes are simple fixes that you can implement without making a visit to your doctor. While you may have heard of Kegel exercises for women, Kegel exercises are also very beneficial for men who are struggling with ED. Having a strong pelvic floor can help you cure your erectile dysfunction. Men who do Kegel exercises twice per day are generally successful in treating their ED. When combined with lifestyle changes, Kegel exercises are very effective in helping you cure ED.
A British study followed a group of men who did Kegel exercises twice a day for three months. The study showed that those who performed Kegels, stopped smoking, and decreased their alcohol consumption saw a significant improvement in the quality of their erections. Individuals in this study saw better results than those who attempted to cure ED by implementing lifestyle changes alone. According to the Mayo Clinic, men can reap many benefits from doing Kegel exercises on a regular basis.
In addition to improving a sexual experience, doing Kegel exercises also helps men gain better bladder and bowel control. Kegel exercises can also lead to heightened sexual pleasure and better control over ejaculation. When performing these exercises, it is important to focus primarily on your pelvic floor muscles. According to PubMed, there is a clear link between the use of Kegel exercises and the improvement of erectile dysfunction. In fact, clinical trials have found an increase in cure rates for ED.
According to WebMD, erectile dysfunction can cause men to experience a number of ill effects, which can sometimes include depression. To combat this problem, it is important to “be honest” with your partner, yourself, and your healthcare practitioner. It may also help to get active and develop a regular workout routine. Being active causes your body to release endorphins, which boost your mood and ease pain. The body produces endorphins when you engage in pleasurable activities. Endorphins are a type of peptide.
It may also help to keep an eye on your heart health. Bad cardiovascular health has been linked to blood flow issues, which can contribute to the severity of erectile dysfunction. Good blow flow is necessary to getting and sustaining good erections. When blood flow to the penis is hindered, the quality of erections is significantly affected.
When a man gets an erection, arteries inside the penis expand, thus increasing blood flow to internal tissues. Called corpus cavernosa, this “spongy tissue” begins to swell and stiffen when blood flow is increased. This causes a man’s penis to stiffen, resulting in an effective erection. For this reason, it is important to focus on improving your heart health. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and taking care of your heart can reverse the effects of ED.
It may also help to increase your testosterone levels. Research shows that losing weight and reducing stress are great ways to boost testosterone levels. Low testosterone can cause your energy levels to drop. Because of this, you may feel incredibly tired, and you may not want to be active. While decreased energy is a natural part of aging, having low energy levels can take a toll on your sex life.
Another way to cure ED is to monitor your sleep patterns. Aim to get about seven hours of sleep per night. If you feel fatigued for long periods of time, you should consult your doctor. Studies have found that men who have interrupted breathing or sleep apnea at night may have a harder time getting an erection.
Some studies have suggested that bicycling may contribute to the development of ED. However, there is no documented evidence to back up this claim. Bicycles put pressure on blood vessels and nerves in the pelvic area. If you enjoy bicycling, it may be a good idea to buy a seat that is designed specifically to “reduce pressure” on the perineum.
Research has found that men who have sexual intercourse fewer than once per week have an increased risk of developing ED. Because of this, experts recommend having sex more often and on a regular basis. This may help reduce or eliminate your ED.
Psychological factors have a huge impact on sexual functioning as well. Having communication or emotional issues in your relationship can lead to erectile problems. With that in mind, it may help to seek counseling to resolve any emotional issues that are negatively impacting your sex life.
According to experts, anxiety and stress can have a strong effect on your libido and your ability to get an erection. Anxiety causes your heart rate to increase, which can lead to sexual functioning issues. It may help to clear your head, so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Sometimes you can get so caught up in negative thoughts that it affects your ability to get and sustain an erection.
Much like anxiety, stress can significantly impact sexual performance. Thinking about an upcoming presentation at work or a distressing future event can mess with your head, making it difficult to get and sustain an erection. Issues in your relationship can also affect your ability to get an erection. Emotional issues can also make it harder to be present in the moment and feel connected to your partner.
If you want to cure your ED, take stock of any health and other factors that may impact your condition. This can help you change your lifestyle in a way that gets your sex life back on track.
