This podcast is for you. The modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix.

So today, modern Man, I'm going to show you some herb and vitamins and natural ways for you to imagine increased blood flow to the penis. Why is that? Because when you don't have enough blood flow to the penis, you have erectile dysfunction. Because the penis need to grow 40 to 50 times in blood flow to the area of your penis in order for you to get an erection. The penis has the largest amount of blood vessel, blood vessel per gram in any organ compared to any organ in your body. So from going from flaccid to an erect penis, it has to go to 40 to 50 times more blood vessels than any other organ. So having said that, it is very sensitive to what you eat because your penis is when, when it's erected has so much blood flow in there that what you eat is what is being absorbed in the tissue. Because what you eat, it goes to your stomach and then your liver digest that and then it go to your blood. And when it goes to your blood, it goes to your tissue. So you are what you eat and your sex life is what you eat. So if you eat a lot of carb, you eat a lot of junk food, well, that's going to affect your penis and it's not going to be functioning well because it's going to be inflamed. So today I'm just going to talk about the supplement and some herb and natural things you can do. I always advocate for you as a man. The healthiest diet act a man is really the Mediterranean diet. All right, again, the Mediterranean diet. If you need to know what that is to look in the show note and I have a membership that you could sign up with that we can discuss about what diet to go on and why and how it helped. So let's start with some vitamins. Vitamin D is very, very helpful for the penis because It's a sunshine vitamin and it help with bringing the integrity of the blood vessel to be healthy. The second vitamin is called L arginine. L arginine is an amino acid that help blood vessel integrity and keep it healthy. Next one is ginseng. You want to try the Asian ginseng or panac Ginseng. It is believed to be a natural healer and it actually help with sexual function, promote energy as well as boosting libido. The next one is yohembi Yohembi. It comes from the bark of a tree in western Africa and it's been used for years to help with libido and sexual function. The next one is horny goat weed. It comes from China and it's been used as a natural remedy for erectile dysfunction and it helped with increasing libido. And it is a natural compound. And what it does is that it increases blood flow to the penis. Alright, so what other thing can you do to increase blood flow to the penis naturally? Exercise. High interval intensity. High intensity interval exercise is what you need to be doing because what that does is it increases blood flow to the body and increases muscle mass. All right, the next part is stress management. When you're stressed, you are, your body doesn't have good circulation at all. And stress management involves like getting a total body massage. Exercise more and learn to have some downtime as well. And a critical part of that is sleep. Make sure you have seven hours of sleep night and make sure that you have good dreams. And that is enough to kind of decrease the stress as well. The next part is make sure you get like a total body massage because that will loosen up your muscles, it'll make you relax. It also will contribute to increasing more blood flow in your body as well. And the next part is increasing your fluid, having a good fluid fluid concentration. Your body is very helpful for your muscles and for your and all your ligaments. And how much fluid do you need? Well, whatever your body weight is. Okay, let's say you're 180 pounds, half of your body weight an ounce. So that should be 90 ounces that you should be drinking a day. Now iced tea could count as water and water and then you can add in a little bit of flavor that is not loaded with sugar and. But soda or diet soda doesn't count as water. And coffee certainly doesn't count as water as well. Now other vitamins and minerals is vitamin E. Vitamin E is very good for blood flow and for the integrity, keeping.
Integrity of what they call the endothelium.
B vitamin like boy, B vitamins that come from leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale. Those are very, very good. And take an iron, take an iron supplement. Very helpful because your red blood cells and what has iron in it and iron carries the oxygen. So if enough iron then you have enough oxygen which then bring enough blood to the tissue. Other herb that improve blood circulation is an extensive list and I'll include that in the show note. Some of it is called bacopa, black pepper called butcher's broom, cayenne, chickweed, ginger, go to kola, hawthorn, thyme, maidenhair and turmeric. And so you can consider adding the herbs when you cook as well as essential oil at this point. So these are some of the natural things that you can do to increase blood flow to particularly increasing blood flow to the penis that will help with erectile dysfunction, but it also help with increasing your libido and also help with your mood as well. So I would include all of this in the show Note. See you the next episode Modern man.
