Mediterranean diet and its properties
Participants in this year’s European Congress of the Cardiology Society (ESC) suggested that the Mediterranean diet could be a solution to erectile dysfunction. This type of nutrition includes a menu rich in fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, fish, seafood and olive oil. At the same time, the Mediterranean diet restricts dairy products, red meat, and highly processed products.

— In our study, nutrition according to Mediterranean diet was associated with greater exercise capacity, healthier arteries, better blood flow, higher testosterone levels, and a greater ability to erection. We did not check the mechanisms behind it. Most likely, this way of eating affects both the proper erection and the overall improvement of the efficiency of the entire body: it improves the functioning of blood vessels and reduces the drop in testosterone levels, which may occur in middle age Explains Dr Athanasios Angelis from the University of Athens in Greece.

Research by scientists from Greece – promising results
Scientists from Greece, led by Dr. Athanasios Angelis, studied 250 middle-aged men who were diagnosed with hypertension and erection problems. Their diet, exercise capacity, testosterone levels, blood vessel health, and the severity of erectile dysfunction were assessed.
The research results turned out to be promising. The Mediterranean diet improved their blood circulation and increased testosterone levels. As a result, men were less likely to complain about erection problems. Scientists emphasize that the results of their observations should be treated with some caution. In their opinion, these conclusions show some correlation between the Mediterranean diet and erectile function.
