Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfying sex. It’s a pretty common problem, affecting an estimated 18 million men in the U.S. If all those men sought treatment, the cost could reach $15 billion. A lot of factors can contribute to ED, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and low testosterone.
Because ED is often related to cardiovascular health, diet can play a role. Eating healthy can help you maintain good erectile function, in part by reducing cardiovascular risk factors.
