The Mediterranean diet provides a long list of health benefits—including in the bedroom. The Mediterranean diet, which was named the best diet overall for six years in a row by US News & World Report, stresses the importance of quality sourcing and filling your plate with nutrient-rich whole foods and grains. It’s previously been shown to improve both physical and mental health, and now a sex therapist and registered dietitian is saying the diet can boost your sex life as well.
“In order to have a healthy erection, you need good blood flow, and you need good nerve conduction,” she explained, adding the diet combats high cholesterol that can lead to “fatty buildup in your blood vessels that could slow blood flow.” A 2020 study found that following this diet was associated with a lower risk for erectile dysfunction, “suggesting that a healthy dietary pattern may play a role in maintaining erectile health.” The diet involves eating anti-inflammatory foods, which means “your blood vessels are healthier, that your body is working more effectively, that everything is functioning better,” the sexpert said.
