While there is research to suggest that certain diets can help to improve cardiovascular health (which is linked to erectile function), there are no scientifically proven home remedies for erectile dysfunction. However, sildenafil (and other erectile dysfunction treatments such as tadalafil and Tadalafil Daily) has been clinically proven to reduce the symptoms of ED in men. There is plenty of evidence supporting sildenafil’s ability to help men achieve stronger erections, which is why it’s the first choice for many men when they need help with ED. Although erectile dysfunction tablets are effective, they shouldn’t be seen as the be-all and end-all when it comes to treating ED. Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by numerous underlying psychological or physical conditions, so it’s best to identify the root cause of your ED and make healthy lifestyle changes that help to reduce (and prevent) symptoms. Recommended lifestyle habits to adopt include: Eating a healthy, balanced diet. Consuming plenty of fruit and veg, and avoiding refined carbs such as bread and sugar can help to keep the body functioning as it should. Quitting smoking (if you smoke). Smoking is linked to erectile dysfunction, so quitting smoking is highly recommended. If you find it difficult to quit, take a look at our Quit Smoking Programme as it offers all the support you need to kick the habit. Exercising regularly. Research has shown that 160 minutes of exercise a week for 6 months “contributes to decreasing erectile problems” in men experiencing ED due to physical inactivity, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
