Viagra versus Food

Viagra is the wonder drug that has transformed sex lives all over the world. Its impact has been compared to that of The Pill and has in many ways revolutionized sex lives. But it seems that diet and bad habits could be the root of increasing numbers of erectile dysfunction and poor sperm count. Some say it isn't Viagra men should be reaching for, but the fruit and veg.

There's no question that a good diet can improve the quality of sperm. Although men who take Viagra are more concerned with their performance in the bedroom, the quality of their sperm is crucial if they are trying to conceive with their partner. It's been reported that in the last 50 years, sperm counts across the globe have dropped drastically - from 113 million sperm per ml to around 66.

Viagra and virility

The drop is so large that scientists believe male infertility could be the leading root cause for problems for couples conceiving. Although Viagra is accessible and easy to take, it will boost performance but not virility. For better sperm quality, scientists believe our diets could have a massive impact. Experiments have shown that higher antioxidant intake and micronutrients can help.

Food as Viagra

As well as a good diet helping the quality of a man's sperm, food can also play its part as a kind of Viagra. Food has always had sensuous overtones, and the smell of food, along with other smells such as perfume, can evoke a powerful response. A scientist from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in America has said that particular foods have a distinct reaction - a kind of Viagra for the taste buds. The study showed that certain foods had a Viagra-like effect, with an increase in penile blood flow by over 40%.

Viagra and the food of love

So what smells and foods had a Viagra-like impact? The Americans favoured Pumpkin Pie, whereas the Brits got their blood pumping from the scent of apple cake. Fish and chips were a turn off, whereas the combinations of donuts and liquorice for men were definitely the food equivalents of Viagra - with an increased blood flow to the penis of 32%.

Oysters or Viagra

The idea that food can act like Viagra goes back centuries, oysters are a famous aphrodisiac, but some people do need more than a good diet to help their performance and not everybody can afford the indulgence of oysters - Viagra can certainly help if you can't stomach the foods that supposedly make you feel fruity.
