Foreign hello there Modern Men. I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I treated over 7,000 men with ED. In today's episode we're going to talk about do you know that one of the most powerful treatment for ED is in a pill? It's in your fridge. Scientists are now proving that certain everyday food is can actually reverse ED naturally. And most men have no idea they're skipping the key one. Stay tuned because what you eat tonight could literally change your performance tomorrow. Several foods have been scientifically shown to improve ed, primarily by supporting your blood flow, balancing hormones and increasing nitric oxide production is all vital for healthy erection. According to recent research and clinical reviews, the following groups of food are the most effective option for improving ED now. Number one Leafy greens and vegetables. Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, bok choy and Swiss chard are rich in nitrate. Nitrate is N I T r a t e s which the body converts to nitric N I T r I c nitric oxide. This molecule promotes blood vessel opening, increasing more blood flow that is not going to the penis but to everywhere as well. And recent clinical cases show that adopting a whole food diet that is high in vegetable intake can reverse ED within months. That's one of the reason why I made the nitric oxide here made from arugula extract. We don't even give it in L arginine and L citrulline because when you take L arginine, L citrulline you must have an enzyme to convert it to nitric oxide. But by the age 40, 50% of men actually lose that enzyme. So if you lose the enzyme and if you take L arginine, L citrulline is just going to go down into your urine. So that's the reason why we made nitric oxide with arugula. So that way when you take it, it goes straight to nitric oxide and you can find it here at our store here@ednomore.com and refer to this episode here where I talk about why taking L arginine and L citrulline is not useful for increasing nitric oxide. Men struggling to stay hard, Most of the time it comes down to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning Wood Smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood flow naturally. My patients often notice improvement in just a few weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click the link below to get the recipe and start boosting your blood flow and firmness today. Or go to good morningwood smoothie.com Second, food is rich in something called flavonoids. Now fruits that are rich in flavonoids are berries, citrus fruit and apples because they have antioxidant anti inflammation property that protect your blood vessels. And Harvard NIH study research shows that diet abundant in berries and watermelon are high in producing nitric oxide. Side number three Nuts and seeds. My favorite pistachios, almond, walnut, Pumpkin seeds are high in nitric oxide and zinc and magnesium and these are the nutrients that improve blood flow and also balance your testosterone hormone. In a 2024 meta analysis found that higher nut intake was associated with 46% lower risk of ED. Now that sounds pretty good, right? The next group is fatty fish. Fish like salmon, sardine and herring are packed with omega 3 fatty acids which improve endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is essentially improving blood flow and lower inflammation and lower your blood pressure as well too. All contributing to stronger erection. Men, if you want stronger erection naturally, try my Good Morning Wood Smoothie. Grab the recipe the link below or go to good morningwoodsmoothie.com if you want to get firm erection within weeks, grab this now. Next food group is called whole grain and legume. Oats, beans, lentil, all support elasticity and testosterone regulation. So what that means is that it will increase nitric oxide, help opening blood vessel and lead into good erection quality. The next one is my favorite dark chocolate and green tea. Food that are rich in flavanol can lower blood pressure and improve nitric oxide availability and also improve endothelial function. So all in helping getting better and firmer erection and and it tastes delicious. I love green tea. I love dark chocolate. Sometimes both of it goes together pretty well. The next group is tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in component called lycopene which are linked to lower ED risk and improve sperm quality. So lycopene is a potent antioxidant that reduces inflammation and improve blood flow. So you have all these food that not only tastes delicious but also it's healthy and is good for your erection. So the food that you want to avoid are processed meat, sugary food and food that are rich in trans fat or non healthy fat which can damage your blood vessels, reduce nitric oxide, is going to worsen your erectile performance. So in a recent study in 2024, 2025, it shows that a Mediterranean style diet or a whole plant based diet rich in greens, fruit, nuts, whole grains and fish, offers the most reliable science fact improvement in erectile function and overall sexual health.
