Chestnut
Chestnuts can improve male sexual function mainly by tonifying the kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnut has a sweet and warm taste, and has the effects of nourishing the stomach and spleen, tonifying the kidney and strengthening the tendons. It is especially suitable for people with weak waist and knees, waist and foot failure, frequent urination, and spleen and kidney deficiency and cold caused by kidney deficiency. In the Tang Dynasty, the pharmacologist Sun Simiao described chestnut as the "fruit of the kidney.". Modern research has also provided evidence for the health function of chestnuts. The unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals contained in chestnuts have good preventive and therapeutic effects on diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and osteoporosis. Therefore, eating chestnuts often in the elderly can achieve the goal of prolonging life.
Although chestnuts are raised, they are difficult to digest if eaten raw, and can easily block the intestines and stomach if eaten cooked too much. Generally speaking, it is advisable to consume 5-10 chestnuts per day "Sex benefits" naturally come when men eat three more vegetables
oats
A Singapore study has shown that eating oats can help alleviate symptoms of male sexual dysfunction.
Researchers say testosterone levels in adults decrease with age. Therefore, some middle-aged and elderly men are prone to symptoms such as low libido and erectile dysfunction. Because oats can promote the release of testosterone in the body, long-term use can improve these symptoms.
However, researchers also pointed out that although oats are good, they should not be eaten too much, and excessive consumption of oats may be harmful to the body.
Jujube
In daily life, red dates are one of the common foods that have auxiliary effects on sexual function problems.
Lu Bodong, Vice President of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Director of the Andrology Center, introduced that jujube is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, amino acids such as lysine and arginine, and 36 trace elements such as calcium and iron. Red dates also contain triterpenoids, which have an anti fatigue effect and can enhance endurance. In addition, it is rich in cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which has the effect of dilating blood vessels, not only improving the nutritional status of the heart muscle, but also improving the blood supply to the penis and increasing the stiffness of erections. "Records of Famous Doctors" clearly states that red dates can "strengthen muscles and bones, assist yin and qi, and make people fat and healthy." Men with deficiency of qi and kidney often eat red dates, which can significantly enhance sexual desire.
"Although jujube has good effects on nourishing the body, nourishing qi and blood, and promoting yang, it is not suitable for men with a hot and dry constitution.". In addition, it is best not to eat more than 20 dates each time. Eating too much can damage digestive function and cause constipation. Due to the high sugar content in red dates, eating too much can also easily lead to tooth decay. Generally, men can eat 10 per day.
