Vitamin D has been shown to imrove testosterone levels. There are also other lifestyle changes you can make to boost testosterone levels, including exercising more and getting sufficient sleep.<\/em><\/p>\n

For men experiencing\u00a0erectile dysfunction<\/a>\u00a0(ED), they may initially assume that the problem is related to a lack of the male hormone testosterone. Actually, the studies show us that, in most cases, ED isn’t related to testosterone levels, unless testosterone levels are abnormally low.<\/p>\n

With that said, it is true that testosterone levels tend to decrease with age, and that is distressing to some men. The good news is, the lifestyle practices that are good for testosterone are in many cases the same ones that are good for erection function, such as: maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, getting good sleep, eating nuts and beans and other healthy foods.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the problem and some of the solutions in more detail.<\/p>\n

ED, Aging, and Testosterone Levels<\/h3>\n

Science has proven the importance of testosterone as a male sex hormone. The levels of testosterone gradually decline as a man ages, which causes a breakdown of muscle mass and sometimes hair loss and weight gain. Low levels of testosterone do not cause ED, however, a lowered sex drive does correlate with less interest in sexual activity.
\nWhile there are medications that can increase testosterone, a 2016 study pointed out\u00a0<\/a>that the long term negative effects and safety of these medications has not been firmly established. Instead, many doctors recommend lifestyle changes that can naturally boost testosterone. Ironically, many of these same recommendations also have shown to improve incidents of ED in men without the use of Viagra.<\/p>\n

For men worried about ED and low testosterone levels, who want to try a natural alternative to Viagra, here are some suggestions for improving your sexual health.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
