Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex.

Having erection trouble from time to time isn’t necessarily a cause for concern.

If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems.

It can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

Nuts are high in ‘good fats’ – monounsaturated fats (most nut types) and polyunsaturated fats (mainly walnuts). They are low in saturated fats.

They are good sources of dietary protein – a good alternative to animal protein. Some nuts are also high in amino acid arginine, which keeps blood vessels healthy.

Nuts and seeds regulate body weight as their fats are not fully absorbed, they regulate food intake, and help burn energy.

In this video, walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts are put to the test for erectile and sexual function, sperm count, and semen quality.

If you care about nutrition, please read studies about vitamin K that could lower your heart disease risk by a third, and cooking food in this way may raise your risk of blindness.
