Erectile Dysfunction and ways to improve

Are you ashamed of talking about your ED? Too ashamed to see a docror? Have you being pushing your sex life with pills? I hope you know those pills could have a long time side effect especially when you dont know what is wrong with you.

Also called “impotence,” erectile dysfunction is a condition in which a man is unable to achieve or sustain an erection during sexual performance. Symptoms may also include reduced sexual desire or libido.

These kinds of issues can happen at any time, to any man mainly because of fatigue, stress, relationship issues, or even alcohol consumption. However, if the condition lasts for more than a few weeks or months, your doctor is likely to diagnose it as true ED, and will recommend treatments.
A number of different factors can increase your risk of ED. Since attaining an erection involves the brain, hormones, muscles, and blood vessels, a problem with any of these can block the normal functioning of the penis.

Some common causes of ED include: heart disease diabetes obesity multiple sclerosis tobacco use

A 2007 study found that persistent alcohol use induced ED as well. Seventy-two percent of men diagnosed with alcohol dependence syndrome were also diagnosed with sexual dysfunction, including premature ejaculation and ED.

Here are some natural ways to help work on your erectile dysfunction.

1. Start walking. According to one Harvard study, just 30 minutes of walking a day was linked with a 41% drop in risk for ED. Other research suggests that moderate exercise can help restore sexual performance in obese middle-aged men with ED.
2. Eat right. In the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, eating a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and fish — with fewer red and processed meat and refined grains — decreased the likelihood of ED. Another tip: a chronic deficiency in vitamin B12 may contribute to erectile dysfunction. A daily multivitamin and fortified foods are the best bets for those who absorb B12 poorly, including many older adults.
3.Pay attention to your vascular health. High blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and triglycerides can damage arteries in the heart (causing heart attack), in the brain (causing stroke), and leading to the penis (causing ED). Low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and an expanding waistline also contribute. Check with your doctor to find out whether your vascular system — and thus your heart, brain, and penis — is in good shape or needs a tune-up through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications.
4.Size matters, so get slim and stay slim. A trim waistline is one good defense — a man with a 42-inch waist is 50% more likely to have ED than one with a 32-inch waist. Getting to a healthy weight and staying there is another good strategy for avoiding or fixing ED. Obesity raises risks for vascular disease and diabetes, two major causes of ED. And excess fat interferes with several hormones that may be part of the problem as well.
5. Move a muscle, but we’re not talking about your biceps. A strong pelvic floor enhances rigidity during erections, and helps keep blood from leaving the penis by pressing on a key vein. In a British trial, three months of twice-daily sets of Kegel exercises which strengthen these muscles, combined with biofeedback and advice on lifestyle changes —quitting smoking, losing weight, limiting alcohol —worked far better than just advice on lifestyle changes
