A large proportion of men are affected by erectile dysfunction after the age of 40. It is defined as a frequent or constant inability to achieve or maintain an erect penis.   There must be enough pressure in the tissues of the corpus cavernosum of the penis to hold blood and maintain an erection. Nitric oxide helps to maintain this pressure. Beetroot is one of the best foods to help men with erectile dysfunction.

Beetroot juice contains a lot of nitrates and the body converts these nitrates into nitric oxide. Studies show that beetroot works in a similar way to Viagra by increasing the levels of nitric oxide in the body, which in turn dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis.

Beetroot is naturally rich in nitrates, which are converted to nitrites in the mouth when eaten. Carrots, lettuce and turnip greens are also rich in nitrates, but beetroot has the highest level of nitrates of any vegetable.

Scientists believe that the boron content of beetroot may help maintain adequate levels of hormones involved in sexuality. Boron, a mineral abundant in beetroot, can increase the production of sex hormones, increase libido, improve sperm motility and promote fertility. In addition, being rich in iron and potassium, beetroot maintains a healthy reproductive system. However, beware of consuming too much.

Recipe 1: 2 beetroot, 1 carrot, juice of 1 orange, juice of half a lemon. Mix the whole in a blender and drink as much as you like every day.

Recipe 2: 1 beetroot, lettuce, 1/4 lemon, a piece of ginger. Mix everything in a blender. Take it at least twice a week.

In addition to its ability to dilate the vessels and increase blood flow to the penis, these juices are excellent for cleansing the liver and eliminating toxins. Avoid the main factors that can have an effect on sexual performance: smoking, alcohol, being overweight, lack of physical activity. These bad habits have a direct impact on blood circulation.

Drinking beetroot juice before exercise or strenuous activity is considered a sure way to improve stamina and energy levels.
