Winter is nearing its end, y’all, and if you’ve been “hibernating” with Easy Mac and Guinness as your daily meals, it’s time to LISTEN UP! According to countless doctors, our Western diet contributes heavily (if not almost solely) to the rising percentage of middle aged adults being stricken with cancers and other diseases. Our over-consumption of meat, dairy, and processed foods has put the US in the lowest percentile of overall health, with over 40% of Americans in the obese category.

One of the most striking things doctors and scientists are realize is how interconnected the body is, and the penis is not an exception. Viagra, the top selling erectile-dysfunction pill on the market, was originally made for hypertension, or high blood pressure. It increases blood flow to the penis and assists in getting and maintaining an erection, and is the primary treatment for erectile-dysfunction today. According to many scientists and doctors, though, it doesn’t need to be.

By switching to a plant-based diet and nixing processed and fast foods from your diet, as well as adding exercise, you can treat your own erectile dysfunction without the need to pop little blue pills every time you want to have a roll in the hay.

Urologist Dr. Kevin Billups told Health.com that the link between heart health and ED “hasn’t become the public health message that it should be,” and explained that “doctors and other experts need to do a better of job of informing the public that a healthier heart often means better erections.”
