What (and When) You Eat and Drink Can Affect Erectile Dysfunction<\/figcaption><\/figure> For men with erectile dysfunction (ED), even little tidbits of information can provide a glimmer of hope. <\/p>\n

So knowing that what and when you eat and drink can affect the performance of your penis can be an especially helpful bit of data.<\/p>\n

Urologist James Ulchaker, MD shared some of those helpful insights with the Cleveland Clinic\u2019s Health Essentials website. <\/p>\n

Here are some takeaways.<\/p>\n

What you drink matters more than what you eat <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the short term, what you drink matters more than what you eat. While alcohol may serve to loosen your inhibitions or relax you after a stressful day, it may not do your penis any favors.<\/p>\n

From a physical perspective, too much alcohol can cause or contribute to erectile dysfunction. So while you might feel \u201claid back\u201d and ready to have sex psychologically from a few beers or glasses of liquor, you may not able to get an erection.<\/p>\n

When you drink and eat matters too<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlcohol is one of the biggest things we ingest that impacts erections,\u201d says Dr. Ulchaker. \u201cBut medicines for erectile dysfunction don\u2019t work as well with alcohol or on a full stomach [in some instances]. So I advise guys to \u2026 take erectile dysfunction medication at 4:30 p.m. and have some [sex] at 6 p.m., then<\/em> have a drink and go out to dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

What you eat over time matters a lot too<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like almost any part of the human body, your erections will be affected by your overall health.<\/p>\n

Erectile dysfunction has a significant link to body mass index (BMI), so the more overweight you are, the greater your risk of erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Of course, that\u2019s not just because you develop erectile dysfunction when you have to get naked in front of someone.<\/p>\n

Eating foods that are high in fat can block your arteries, which supply blood to your penis in order for you to get an erection.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got erectile dysfunction and are overweight, try to eat healthier and start exercising. In the meantime, you can probably get a prescription for Viagra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
