It is estimated that between 5%-7% of men age 40 and 15%-25% of men aged 65y experience erectile dysfunction.  Healthy blood flow is the key to a strong erection, so it is natural that what prevents diabetes and stroke will also help to prevent erectile dysfunction.  Fill up on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains… and lay off stuff that clogs your arteries.  Beyond the basics, the foods below will help to keep you strong.

Pomegrante Juice

A study in the Journal of urology found that promegrante juice slashed the risk of ED in rabbits.

Shrimp Salad

Shrimp is full of zinc, and leafy green vegetables are full of folate.  Together, they can boost sperm levels.

Oatmeal

Oats produce a chemical that releases testosterone into the blood supply, increasing sex drive and orgasm strength.  Mix in honey for an added boost.

Spinach

Spinach is a potent source of magnesium, which helps dilate blood vessels, according to Japanese researchers.

Citrus Fruits

Men who consume at least 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day improve their sperm counts and motility.  Vitamin C also keeps sperm from clumping, so they have a better chance of reaching their destination.

Honey

Honey’s b vitamins aid the production of testosterone, and its boron content helps the body use estrogen, which is a key factor in proper blood flow and arousal.

Blueberries

The soluble fiber in blueberries ushers cholesterol through your digestive tract before it chokes your arteries.  The berries also contain compounds that improve circulation for a natural Viagra-like effect.
