Best Foods for Harder Erections

Harden up your erections naturally.

Erectile dysfunction can be positively or negatively affected by the foods you eat. Some foods can harden up your erections while other foods can make your erections weak. This post includes the best foods for harder erections as well as example menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to help you harden up your erections naturally.

While weak erections affect nearly half of all men over 40, there are many younger men suffering from impotence which is an impediment to their relationship and overall wellbeing. 

I’m a firm believer in controlling the elements which can be controlled to improve sexual function and this includes the foods you eat. Adding these best superfoods into your daily routine can harden your erection and also boost your sexual performance.

How to choose the best foods for harder erections

Part of your strategy to attain consistently hard erections requires eating foods which increase blood flow and improve circulation, foods which positively influence your state of mind and your ability to think clearly – and foods which nourish your body and enhance mechanical function.

Choose foods which only have one ingredient and avoid processed foods which contain preservatives!

Remember that it’s not your taste buds which need feeding, every cell in your body requires nutrients to increase your libido and ensure you have optimal health and energy for sex. 

When contemplating your wants and needs with regards to food, remember that there is a short term, medium term and long term consequence of everything you put in your mouth.

Packaged foods and fast foods containing preservatives and flavor enhancers may taste good in the short term, but in the medium term they’re going to affect your erection hardness and long term can lead to serious erectile dysfunction issues.

Here’s a menu example to make it easier to naturally harden up your erection:

Preparation is key, if you don’t have meals and snacks planned, it is likely you will reach for anything to appease your hunger.

Best breakfast foods for harder erections

It’s important to kick start your day with a good breakfast. Choose foods which keep your mood and blood sugar levels stable to help you feel balanced and energized throughout the morning.

Fibre will improve your digestive health and you also require a balance of good protein and healthy fats to manufacture testosterone and improve sexual function. The best sources of breakfast requirements can include: berries, oats, eggs, coconut oil, avocado, coconut milk and butter.

Blend a handful of berries with filtered water, one tablespoon of coconut oil, half a banana, a few kale leaves and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delicious and healthy smoothie to accompany breakfast. Add about a heaped teaspoon of avocado to make it a thicker consistency.

Does drinking coffee affect erection hardness?

Although high in antioxidants, coffee robs the body of magnesium which is an essential ingredient for keeping strong, hard erections. Magnesium is required for over 300 processes in your body including muscle contraction so limit your coffee intake to one per day.

Cacao (raw cocoa) is one of the best superfoods for sex. A rich source of magnesium, Cacao also contains large amounts of amino acids and other essential nutrients to enhance sexual function. Combined with coconut cream or coconut milk and a pinch of nutmeg, ground cacao powder is an excellent alternative to coffee and can be drunk throughout the day to improve your overall health and erection hardness.

Best lunch foods for harder erections

Lunch provides your afternoon energy, so to avoid a mid afternoon slump focus on protein combined with healthy fats to balance your blood sugar. Make sure you include a good serving of vegetables. 

Foods high in lycopene (tomatoes, watermelon) help to protect the prostrate to improve mechanical function. Avocado is a nutrient dense source of healthy fats which is also high in Vitamin E helping to improve blood flow and sexual function.
