Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be a black cloud over multiple aspects of your life. Not only is it difficult to become intimate with a new partner, but you may find yourself struggling with difficult feelings like a lack of confidence, shame, and more.
The good news is there are ways to improve erectile dysfunction with a few simple lifestyle changes. While these aren’t quick fixes, they can help you get your mojo back with a little bit of effort.
1. Exercise More
Many studies have concluded that lack of exercise is a major factor for ED. Start trying to work out more frequently, even if it’s just a simple walk around the block after dinner. For best results, try to work out or walk for 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
2. Schedule a Check Up
There are many medical reasons for ED, some of which include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides. Make an appointment with your doctor for some bloodwork to see if one of these is affecting your ability to perform.
3. Clean Out Your Diet
For as delicious as steak is, it could be causing your ED. Red and processed meats have been tied to ED in several studies, so it may be time to clean out your diet, replacing these items with fresh vegetables and fish.
4. Lose Weight
All of these tips come down to one thing, and that is that losing weight will likely help you overcome your ED. Start shedding the pounds with a healthy diet and exercise, and you’ll be back to your regular self in the bedroom in no time at all.
Overall, ED can be embarrassing, but there are some things you can do to lower your chances of being affected by it. So, schedule a chat with your doctor, eat healthy, and plan to exercise, and you’ll be back to your old self soon.
