Unhealthy diet induced hypertension, obesity, fatty liver and a series of glycolipid metabolism problems can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). So, what can men with poor erectile function do to improve their diet? Today, we recommend the Mediterranean diet. What is the Mediterranean diet? The Mediterranean diet is a dietary pattern recommended by modern nutrition and originated from the traditional diet of the Mediterranean countries and regions (mainly Greece, southern Italy and Spain) in the 1940s and 1950s. The diet of this region is characterized by a high consumption of olive oil, legumes, natural grains, fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of fish, dairy products (cheese and yogurt) and red wine, with a small amount of meat products.

Citrus and berry fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, grapes, apples, cherries and other fruits are rich in anthocyanins, flavanones and flavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which may explain why they can reduce the probability of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, coarse grains, fish, salads, nuts and olive oil. Eat poultry or red meat such as beef and lamb (not grilled) once a week and exercise consistently. Long-term adherence to such habits will allow men to regain their sexual confidence and have a more satisfying sex life.

The fruits, vegetables, pasta, olive oil and nuts included in the Mediterranean diet can greatly reduce the chances of heart attacks. Adherence to this diet has been proven to promote health and longevity. How to eat the Mediterranean diet The structure of the Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating more vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, legumes, nuts and, to a lesser extent, cereals, and cooking with vegetable oils (containing unsaturated fatty acids) instead of animal oils (containing satiated fatty acids), with olive oil being especially advocated. In general, breakfast should be good, lunch should be full and dinner should be light. The Mediterranean diet consists of three meals a day, with some coarse grains, eggs, vegetables and fruits for breakfast to ensure balanced nutrition. For lunch, you should eat foods with high protein content, such as yogurt, cheese, fish and some vegetables and fruits, while desserts and red meat (including pork, beef, lamb, etc.) are eaten in very small amounts. Eat some light food for dinner, and just eat five minutes full. The Mediterranean diet is not a prescription, but a lifestyle.
