Foreign.

Hello there modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Trong.

I'm a sexual health specialist, has treated.

Over 7,000 men with ED. In today's episode we're going to talk about what are the natural ways to.

Get harder erection and I'm just going to go dive into it so that way you have some actionable item that.

And stay tuned all the way till the end. So that way you be surprised at what number nine and number ten. Okay, so you ready have a pen and pencil?

Here we go.

There are a variety of evidence based.

Lifestyle and dietary changes that can help.

Men achieve a harder erection without medication. Now these approaches focuses on optimizing blood flow, hormone, psychological well being and also communication. Number one, exercise regularly. I know I sound like blah blah blah blah.

You keep hearing the doctor say this.

Over and over and over again but.

I can't stress to you how important.

This is because studies have shown that regular exercise beats Viagra beat, Cialis beat.

Any medication that you can take and even supplement that you can take. Now what's exercise?

It could be a brisk walk or.

Fast walk or even swimming or even.

Stationary bike or even biking outside. What this does is it increases your heart rate. When it increase your heart rate, your blood vessels start becoming more flexible and therefore you have more blood flow down there.

Studies have shown that just 30 minutes of walking a day is associated with.

Significant reduction in erectile dysfunction risk.

Now you should aim for a total.

Of 150 minutes a week that that.

Workout to be probably 30 minutes every other day or four times a week.

Number two, eat a nutritious balanced diet. And I sound like blah blah blah blah blah again.

But I can't stress this enough again. Studies have shown that diet, a well.

Balanced diet or less processed food works better than Cialis and Viagra.

And diets such as rich in fruit, eating more vegetables and multigrain and lean meat such as chicken and fish and nuts all contribute to increasing nitric oxide.

Production, increasing better blood vessels and therefore better for erection.

So food that are high in antioxidants like berries, dark chocolate and nuts are great for increasing blood flow. Number three, maintaining a healthy weight. Now, what do I mean by healthy weight? Healthy weight is that you avoid to have that abdominal fat because when you have that abdominal fat that is linked to heart disease as well as reducing testosterone, because in that fat it will make more estrogen and usurping your testosterone and therefore it will impair your erection. So what is a healthy weight? I'm going to give you this formula. So type this formula out. The healthy weight is calculated by body mass index. Now, body mass index is a calculation based on height and weight. It doesn't account for muscles or fat, but you should shoot for a BMI between 18.5 to 25. And so you can use the BMI formula as pounds. Your weight in pounds times 703 divided by your height in inches. Okay, Height in inches square, square, not times, but square. Again, BMI formula is weight in pounds times 703 divided by your height square. So that will kind of give you the range whether you're between 18.5 to 25. You are considered overweight if your BMI is between 25 to 30 and then 30 and above is obese because weight is considered a risk factor for heart disease. Now, how do you distinguish between muscle and fat? That's when I recommend getting biometric scale. Checking the link below here in the description, you go to my Amazon store for the scale that I recommend and when you step on it, it will measure your percent body fat and your percent muscle mass. And so those of you that have more muscle mass, then you may be weighing a little bit more, but you're not necessarily obese. So just kind of keep that in mind. But my rule of thumb is that your waist, you should keep that probably between at least under 38 inches at this point. But when you start to sit down and you have a tire that sticks out and you can grab like the width of your hand, that's probably not good either. So I'm really a practical person. You may not need a bmi. I'm more like, okay, just give me the low down on it. So I just give you the low down on it now at this point. And you know if you are overweight, so that's for the weight. Number four is limiting alcohol and avoiding smoking. How much is too much alcohol? Probably no more than three drinks a week. Probably say your par should be around 14 drinks a week at this time. And just no smoking, period. There is no midway for smoking at this time because alcohol and smoking up that blood vessels and and penis tissue. Reducing it will reduce your blood flow. So keep that in mind. The number five is managing stress such as performance anxiety and depression are common contributors to ed. So if you exercise, it will help deal with stress doing just simple things such as meditation. There is a free app called Calm that you can download on your phone and breathing exercises with it. And it goes a long way. And nothing is better than having a communication with your partner and spend time with your family.

Okay modern men, you are not alone and you don't have to suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating and even defeating.

Now number six, it's getting good sleep. Refer to my episode that I talked earlier about how important sleep is for your erection. Because when you're in sleep you have REM sleep. REM is when your testosterone is being made and also is when you have boarding wood. And so if you have less REM sleep, then you can have less testosterone and more at risk for ed. You want to aim for about seven to eight hours of sleep per night at this point. And the number seven to optimize and monitor your testosterone level. Low testosterone can contribute to weaker erection. So if you have low energy, decreased sex drive and mood changes, consider getting your testosterone level checked. Your blood work is easy, easily done. You can get this done with your primary care doctor. Make sure you get total testosterone free testosterone and SHBG level to really measure your true testosterone level. Okay, number eight is strengthen your pelvic muscle. You know I'm a big advocate pelvic muscles. So strengthen those little muscles that are between your scrotum and your rectum. And these muscles are actually help with erection, orgasm and also ejaculation. And they're small, but they're mighty muscles. So how do you activate these muscles? Those are the same muscles that actually start and stop your urine stream. So you just lie down, put your hand down there and you can feel the contraction like you can feel it would Start your urine stream and stop your urine stream. You want to hold it for optimally for about four seconds and then release. You want to do about a set of 10 twice a day. It takes practice because 99.9% of all of you guys have very weak pelvic muscles. You'll be a hard time holding it for four seconds. It will get better as you practice. Number nine. You'll be surprised to hear this, but yes, caffeine in moderation. Because caffeine improve blood flow and relax penile muscle, potentially enhancing erection. So coffee and tea are good sources, but avoid excessive intake. What is excessive? Excessive is probably more than about 21 ounces a day or three cups of coffee a day. And just be really careful how much sugar and cream you add in your coffee. Try to drink black coffee if you can, so that way you don't have to add in fat from the cream and the sugars. Coffee, black tea are the best because it has the highest antioxidant. And tea, you can probably have three cups of tea a day at this point. And number 10, of course is penis pumping. When you use penis pump exercises your penis, it brings in oxygen, help with muscle flexibility as well as stretching the penis muscle in order for it to not have any type of atrophy or shrinkage. And it also kind of get your penis ready for what it needs to do. So I call it taking the penis to the gym with the penis pump. Something as easy as a pump can really do magic down there for you. And I want to take the penis pump from dirty taboo to to using it as a medical device. In fact it is an FDA approved medical device to help with ed. But instead of calling the penis pump, it's called vacuum erection device Ved. So I hope you find this useful. It's the 10 natural things that you can do to get harder erection right now.
