8 Penis-Friendly Foods to Boost T-Levels, Sperm Count, and More
Erectile dysfunction in younger men is rising, and about 1 in 8 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime — so your sexual health and prostate health may be top of mind.
One unexpected way you can improve your sexual health is — surprisingly — through diet.
The foods you eat provide the building blocks you need to power your body, including the penis and other sexual organs.
However, instead of eating as if your penis needs special attention, you can fill your day with nutritious whole foods that help your blood deliver the nutrients your penis, prostate, and other sexual organs need to function optimally.
Whether your concern is low testosterone levels, erectile dysfunction, or prostate health, these foods may help boost your sexual health and function.
Spinach worked for Popeye, and it may help you, too.
Spinach is rich in folate, a known blood flow booster. Folic acid plays a critical role in male sexual function. Low blood folic acid levels have been linked to erectile dysfunction (
Cooked spinach contains 77% of the Daily Value (DV) for folate per cup (185 grams), making it one of the most folate-rich foods around. Additionally, spinach contains a fair amount of magnesium, which also helps stimulate blood flow and may boost testosterone levels (
Your morning cup of java may help below the belt, as well.
One study in over 3,000 men noted that those who self-reported the highest daily caffeine intake (85–300 mg per day, equivalent to 1–3 cups or 240–720 ml of coffee) were less likely to report erectile dysfunction than those with the lowest caffeine intake (
It’s important to note, however, that these findings were based on self-reporting from the participants, so they may not be completely reliable.
Apples have some great all-around health benefits, but one of their lesser known advantages pertains to prostate health.
Apple peels, in particular, contain the active compound ursolic acid. One test-tube study has noted that ursolic acid may “starve” prostate cancer cells and prevent them from growing (
Note, however, that much more research is needed to fully understand how this effect would translate to apple peels being eaten — rather than ursolic acid being directly applied to cancer cells.
Regardless, some other studies also suggest that men who consume more fruits and vegetables have better odds of beating prostate cancer (
If you have prostate cancer, you should follow your trusted health professional’s treatment plan.
