Diet is everything and food is just not food because not all foods are healthy. And if a diet is bad for your heart, it’s definitely bad for your sex life. For a man to erect, there needs to be enough blood supply to the penis. Therefore, if you pack on foods that constrict arteries thus hindering smooth flow of blood, your heart and manhood will suffer.

2. Avoid cholesterol

High levels of cholesterol lead to blood pressure which in return puts you at risk of cardiovascular diseases. It’s important to note that even slim people can have high cholesterol levels and you should check it out with the doctor to ensure your levels are okay. High cholesterol levels and blood pressure damage blood vessels which are supposed to be supplying blood to your penis.

3. Weight control

4. Hit the road

Go riding, swimming, jogging and do some aerobics. But also be sure to do it moderately since too much strenuous exercise has negative impact on your sex life.
