If you want to boost your erections naturally, this is for you. Not having strong erections when you want one is devastating.

The causes of weak erections can vary, from person to person. They range from poor blood circulation to anxiety issues, and the strength of your connection with your partner.

A firm erection happens when there is a balanced dosage of hormones and neurotransmitters flowing to the right places at the right time, triggering blood flow into the penis. And a lot of factors play a role. 

If it’s an occasional inability to achieve or maintain an erection, then listen to the wisdom of your penis. It might be trying to tell you that there’s something unspoken that needs to be brought to light in your relationship.

Is there something else in the back of your mind that keeps you from opening up to her? Or any resentment about something she said? What about some guilt about something you did?

For those issues, you need to open up and discuss the feelings that are creating disconnection. You need to get rid of the emotional and mental issues that destroy the beneficial neurotransmitters affecting your erections. Those we will discuss in another article. 

But if you experience regular weak erections, then it’s time to make some changes in your lifestyle, and deal with the physical components.

8 TIPS TO BOOST YOUR ERECTIONS

1- Start by Eliminating Refined Sugar and Processed Foods.

Sugar is everywhere and added sugar has no nutritional value. Your penis needs proper nutrients to be reliable.

Junk food and high cholesterol foods clog up your arteries and make your blood circulation slower or even worse, clog the small arteries that feed your penis. Remember what is bad for the heart is bad for the penis. Some foods also decrease your testosterone production, so you want to stay away from those.

2- Lose Weight.

Focus on losing the waist in particular.

Research has shown that belly fat produces enzymes that contract blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the penis. Those same enzymes also turn the male sex hormone testosterone into the female sex hormone estrogen, weakening your erections. If you have extra weight around the middle, it will make a huge difference to get rid of it, but do it in healthy ways. 

3- Eat Healthy Fats.

I know it’s confusing because for years you’ve been told that fats are bad for you. But in reality, not all fats are created equal. You want to stay away from industrially made trans-fats, but you want to increase your intake of good healthy fat. And I repeat, you want less bad fats and MORE good fats! Cook with coconut oil, eat avocados, ghee. Your body needs fat for optimal hormone production.

Another big surprise that you have been misled about your body makes testosterone from… cholesterol. So for now, forget everything you have heard about eating fats. Make these changes if you want to improve your erections. 

4- Exercise.

Keep your body in good shape by having regular aerobic and weight-training exercises. Find something you like. The more you enjoy it, the better the chances you will stick with the program.

Exercise stimulates testosterone release, which will give you more stamina, harder erections, and help you last longer. 

5- Get Enough Sleep.

Having a regular sleep routine, at the same every day, will increase your chances for your body to regenerate, including your healthy hormone balance. Having at least 7 hours of undisturbed sleep is essential for your body to thrive.

Less sleep means more stress hormones, which lower your free testosterone levels. A good night of rest is a necessity for your morning “wood.” 

6- Reduce Stress.

Emotional or physical stress can quickly suppress your testosterone levels. Stress causes cortisol to spike, and that same cortisol inhibits the body’s ability to make testosterone and utilize it within the body. This means that the more stressed you are, the harder it will be to keep it up.

 7- Optimize your Vitamin D levels.

A recent study showed that most men with erectile dysfunction have low vitamin D levels. Almost every system and part of our bodies are affected by our Vit D levels. It’s effortless and affordable to supplement your Vitamin D levels. The most effective ways to take Vitamin D are topically in creams, or sublingually, in tablets or extracts. 

8- Replace Medication.

When it comes to medication, it’s a tough decision. I NEVER suggest stopping any medication that is keeping you healthy. Ask your doctor about the side effects of your current medications, and if your drugs affect your erections, ask if you can switch to a different one. He might have a great alternative!

From high blood pressure medicine to anti-depressants, or even something as benign as pain killers and hair loss remedies, a lot of medications affect erections. They destroy your testosterone levels, affecting the hardness of your penis.

YOU’VE GOT THIS!

So before you throw in the towel on your erections, try to implement some of these simple changes and watch your erections be firmer and stronger.
