A new study from the University of East Anglia and Harvard
University has found a diet that reduces a man’s potential for having erectile
dysfunction. The diet has the added benefit of improving cardiovascular health
so that men can be healthy enough to have sex. The discovery was reported in
the Jan. 14, 2016, edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Blueberries, cherries, blackberries, radishes, black currant
and citrus fruits reduce the possibility that a man under the age of 70 will
develop erectile
dysfunction. Consumption of these fruits and vegetables were found to be
more effective in preventing erectile dysfunction than exercise. Previous
research has shown that five hours of brisk walking a week reduces the
development of erectile dysfunction.
Flavonoids and flavones in the new diet prevent the
development of erectile dysfunction. The benefits are realized with only a few
servings of the fruits and vegetables each week. The research population was
50,000 men. One-third of the men involved in the study had experienced erectile
dysfunction prior to the study. The average improvement was 14 percent. Regular
exercise increased the retention of the ability to achieve an erection to 21
percent.

Diet and exercise do not produce the potential for priapism.
The most popular treatment for erectile dysfunction can cost as much as $25 per
pill. The same $25 can buy more than enough of the fruit and vegetables that
prevent erectile dysfunction than one needs to consume to achieve the result.
The discovery is unlikely to change the behaviors of the majority of men in the
United States. Exercise and a sensible diet are too hard compared to taking a
pill.
Medicaid and Medicare will pay the majority of the cost for
erectile dysfunction drugs. People that work pay the bill for the added costs
of erectile dysfunction treatments over diet and exercise. A government that
was truly concerned with lowering taxes and improving health would consider
ending the use of erectile dysfunction treatments by Medicaid and Medicare
recipients that refuse to exercise or change their diet. This Draconian yet
sensible change will never occur in an election year.
