I’ve seen a study where low Vitamin D levels were tied to low testosterone, but this new study takes Vitamin D’s effects on our masculinity one step further.
If you have a Vitamin D deficiency, you have a 32% higher chance of having erectile dysfunction! That’s a substantial increase in risk!
Researchers analyzed data from more than 3,400 men, age 20 and up. 30 percent of these men had vitamin D levels below the 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood cutoff point. That’s quite a high percentage of us with a Vitamin D deficiency!
16 percent of the men in the study suffered from ED. Vitamin D deficiency was present in a 35 percent of these men, compared to 29% in those without ED. That’s a significant increase, when you consider how small 16% of the group is compared to the whole.
The researchers accounted for other factors associated with ED, such as drinking, smoking, diabetes, high BP, and taking of medications.
While there is a strong association seen from the study, it hasn’t been able to prove cause and effect. More research is needed.
Seems that your percentage chance of having ED increases at the same rate.. for instance, 40% of 40 year old men have some degree of erectile dysfunction.. 70% of 70 year old men have ED at some level.
But what is known is that it is easy to fix your Vitamin D deficiency, and therefore be able to get harder erections without having to take medication.
How to Naturally Increase Your Vitamin D Levels, In Order To Naturally Overcome ED And See Other Health Benefits
Increasing vitamin D levels, besides allowing you to get harder erections naturally, help strengthen your bones, boost muscle growth, improve mood and provides several other health benefits.
Studies have shown that men who solely took Vitamin D supplements increase testosterone levels as well, and that is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reach this end. But here are a few other natural methods:
Sunlight
Just a few minutes of sunlight a day, without sunscreen, is all you need to get your body to spark it’s Vitamin D production. Ancient Olympic athletes used to include sunbathing as part of their training regimen, naturally feeling the strengthening effects of the sun rays. If you will be out longer than a couple of minutes, make sure to wear sunscreen (sun ages you, too!), but know that the amount of UV you absorb will be less, if any. All about balance.
Fatty Fish
Salmon, trout, mackerel, tuna, and eel are all good methods of naturally getting your Vitamin D intake. A 3-ounce salmon contains approx. 450 IUs, a significant portion of your 600 IUs daily intake recommendation. Fish oil from the fish is also helpful for combating depression and improving heart health. Canned light tuna is another option.
Portobello Mushrooms
Mushrooms, much like us, produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. While mushrooms generally grow in dark, dank areas, some are grown in high Vitamin D light, like Portobello Mushrooms. One cup of diced Portobellos contains 450 IUs of Vitamin D!
Fortified Milk and Orange Juice
Both Vitamin D fortified milk and OJ each contain approx. 100 IUs per 8-ounce glass… not as much as I had thought, but not bad either.
Cod Liver Oil
One spoonful of cod liver oil contains 1,300 IUs of Vitamin D, twice the recommended daily allowance! That cod oil really packs a punch!
Moral Of The Story: You Can Get Harder Erections Without Medication
Stronger, longer-lasting erections are some sunrays, vitamins or spoonfuls of cod oil away!
Of course, you need to make sure you are following other daily health recommendations, such as doing exercise on a regular basis (cardio in itself improves erection quality), keeping a safe weight, not smoking or excessively drinking, getting sufficient sleep, reducing stress… but this can play a strong role!
There are actual exercises you can do for harder erections as well, beyond simple kegels… including manual techniques to force more blood flow to the shaft, these will really strengthen your erection. See here…
Have a good one!!
