Hello there Modern Man. In my last episode I talked about the five bad food to avoid if you want to have a good firm heart erection. Well, in this episode I'm going to talk about the five food that will power your erection. There are certain food that will help improve blood flow and overall circulation, which is what you want to have more blood flow down to the penis. So that way it'll fill up the penis for a better firmer erection. Let's start with number one, dark chocolate. My favorite. I am a chocoholic. What is defined as a dark chocolate chocolate that has 85% dark chocolate. Because dark chocolate contains flavonoid which then can boost circulation and the flavonoid can actually lower blood pressure a little bit. It can also decrease cholesterol, both of which will decrease ED and improve more blood flow. And this is great because you can have dark chocolate for dessert after dinner and and then right before you do your hanky panky. Number two, Nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds such as walnut and almond and flaxseed. It has high amount of L, arginine and amino acid that help make nitric oxide, which then also improve blood flow as well. Number three is watermelon. Watermelon is rich in citrulline, which is an amino acid that help improve blood flow. And citrulline is also a component that make nitrous oxide. Now, it's better to get arginine and citrulline from food than taking a supplement. However, you could take a supplement as well too, but make sure you take a supplement that has low oxalate content, especially a nitric oxide supplement. A nitrous oxide supplement that has a high oxalate content can cause kidney stone. And that's one of the reason why I have this nitrous oxide supplement here which is made from arugula, which has the lowest amount of oxalate. Because beet, which I had recommended before I realized was having a high amount of oxalate. And when you have high oxalate it binds with calcium and when it binds with calcium the it can cause kidney stone and it could also be inflammatory as well. So that's why I have switched the formula now to nitric oxide with arugula. It is a capsule instead of a lozenge and you can get it at my store, the Modern man crib. You can see it to my left. You can see it in the show note description as well. And the modern man crib ednomore.com you can get that there. Again, this is nitrous oxide and is made from arugula powder with the lowest oxalate content. So number four is leafy greens like spinach, kale, arugula which are high in nitrate and nitrate become nitric oxide again improving blood flow. Number five, one of my favorite. All these are actually my favorite. I love fruits and vegetables and nuts and almond butter. Number five is one of my favorite as well which is oysters and other shellfish. Shellfish. So oysters are high in zinc which is crucial to make testosterone and also maintaining healthy sperm. And as you know, low testosterone can affect your sex drive and also affect your erection as well. Now all of the five food can support increasing blood flow which then will increase more blood flow to the penis and create a firmer, harder erection. Again, diet, exercise, sleep, stop smoking and maintaining a healthy diet and moderation in alcohol all contribute to a well balanced lifestyle. And like I said in my previous episode about what are the four pillars of good sexual health. It is diet, exercise, stress and sleep. And if you do all that together, you're going to see a big improvement. Even you do one, you'll see an improvement. So the last episode I talked about the food to avoid. In this episode these are power erection food and also you eat oyster actually will increase vitamin D as well. Again you can also take additional nitric oxide capsule diet that I have made and is recommended right here. On top of that sleep is very important as well. So having said that, I hope you enjoyed this episode. These are the five things you should consider eating. Check out the last episode here. The five things you should be avoiding and I also will include in the show. Note my recipe for Good morning wood which has full of antioxidant of fruits and vegetables in there that will help you get more blood flow. And also Mediterranean diet which is a diet I recommend for better sexual health which is diet of more fruits and vegetables and lean meat.
