Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbs For Erectile Dysfunction

The list of vitamins and herbs purported to ease erectile dysfunction is as long John Holmes’ member. And the causes of E.D. are as equally as varied. But it comes down to two broad reasons: physical and psychological, and there is certainly an overlap. If it happens to you, you know it can play games with your mind and affect future encounters. So the list of vitamins and herbs below may work for some people and not for others. Some might help blood flow, some may help you relax, others might be long-term health solutions.

Yohimbe is one of the most discussed, and most controversial, of the natural libido boosters. My search for unbiased reviews yielded mostly fake reviews, biased reviews by people who had a reason to promote it, or warnings against it that also seemed to have an agenda.

I won’t even say where so you won’t think I’m just trying to peddle a product to you. Below are the results of my initial trials with it. … Read entire article »

Focusing On Fiber

One of the things that disturbs me the most about low-fat, no-fat, low-carb, no-carb diets is that they focus on what you shouldn’t eat. There are some “high protein” diets out there, but they also focus a great deal of energy on what you shouldn’t eat. I’d like to discuss fiber, something you SHOULD eat, in high quantity. The low-carb community often glosses over how vitally important fiber is, because fiber is – you guessed it – a carbohydrate. And that was one of my biggest issues with the low-carb craze (which has, thankfully, fallen out of favor), is that it focused on cutting out the very foods you need the most, such as fruits and vegetables! … Read entire article »

Overcoming Performance Anxiety

There are various forms of impotence, which is now usually referred to as erectile dysfunction, or just “E.D.”. This article will examine one variant of E.D., which is sometimes known as psychological impotence. And within this variant are even more splinters of causes, and “performance anxiety” is the focus here. This article does not cover any other physical or physiological forms of E.D.
