Eat healthy food

One of the most important rules if you want to have strong and longer-lasting erections is to follow a healthy, balanced diet which does not lack any vitamins and essential nutrients. This will ensure that your body is functioning correctly. Remember that what you eat affects your overall daily health, including sexual health.

In addition to including fruits, vegetables, lean meat and fish in your diet, you can eat certain foods which due to their nutritional composition can improve erections by providing energy and stimulating blood flow. Good options are:

  • Foods rich in zinc: This mineral is essential for testosterone production, a hormone that influences sexual performance and desire. You can find this nutrient in oysters, dark chocolate, sunflower and sesame seeds, red meat, liver and peanuts.
  • Foods rich in omega-3: This essential fatty acid improves blood circulation in the body, including the genital area. This will boost the firmness of the penis and help you have more vigorous erections. Eat oily fish (salmon, tuna, herring), seafood (shrimp, prawns, crabs), egg yolk, chia or flax seeds and vegetable oils (hazelnut, soy, flax).
  • Foods rich in potassium: Potassium is also excellent for improving the health of the circulatory system and will increase the blood flow to the penis. Include bananas, strawberries, coconuts, legumes (soy, pulses or beans), vegetables (spinach, Swiss chard or artichokes) and chicken or turkey in your diet.

On the other hand, it is advisable that you avoid eating too many fatty foods and sugary foods.
