Podcast episode by Dr. Anne Truong (Modern Man podcast) recommending five foods to improve erections by supporting blood flow: 1) dark chocolate (defined here as 85% cacao, contains flavonoids that may lower BP and cholesterol), 2) nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, flaxseed — sources of L-arginine), 3) watermelon (source of citrulline), 4) leafy greens (spinach, kale, arugula — dietary nitrates), and 5) oysters/shellfish (zinc to support testosterone and sperm). The host cautions about high-oxalate nitric-oxide supplements (e.g., beet) and promotes her arugula-based, low-oxalate nitric-oxide capsule available via her store; she also emphasizes lifestyle pillars (diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, avoid smoking, moderate alcohol) and promotes her coaching program, the Modern Man Club.
