    Male sexual dysfunction can be improved through dietary adjustments. It is recommended to eat oysters, leeks, walnuts, mutton, black sesame and other foods. These ingredients are rich in nutrients such as zinc, arginine, and vitamin E, which help promote androgen secretion and improve blood circulation.

    1. Oyster:

    Oysters are a natural treasure house of zinc. Each 100 grams of oysters contains up to 71 mg of zinc. Zinc is directly involved in testosterone synthesis, can maintain normal prostate function, and improve sperm quality and quantity. It is recommended to eat fresh oysters 2-3 times a week. Steaming or steaming with garlic paste can preserve the nutrients to the maximum extent. Those allergic to seafood should try with caution.

    2. Leeks:

    Leeks contain sulfide and vitamin C, which can dilate blood vessels and promote pelvic blood circulation. Its unique volatile essential oil components can stimulate nerve excitability, and the people call it "Qiyangcao". It is recommended to fry it with eggs or make it into a box of leeks to avoid damaging the active substances by long-term cooking at high temperatures. People with weak gastrointestinal function should control their intake.

    3. Walnuts:

    Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and arginine, which can enhance vascular endothelial function and improve erection hardness. Eating 30 grams of peeled walnuts every day, about 4-5 walnuts, can meet your needs. It is best to choose original, unprocessed products. The melatonin in walnuts also helps regulate sleep quality and indirectly improves sexual function.

    4. Mutton:

    Mutton has high protein content and is easy to absorb. The L-carnitine in it can promote fat metabolism and increase physical endurance. Stewing mutton with angelica and ginger in winter can warm and nourish kidney yang and relieve symptoms of soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. Choosing lamb is easier to digest, and combining it with white radish can neutralize hot constitution. Patients with hyperuricemia need to limit their consumption.

    3. Black sesame seeds:

    Black sesame seeds are rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid, which have antioxidant and reproductive cell protection effects. It is recommended to grind the roasted black sesame seeds into powder and take 10 grams every day and mix it with honey. Combining black sesame seeds with black beans and black rice can enhance the kidney-tonifying effect, but people with loose stools should consume less.

    In addition to the above foods, it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and consume adequate amounts of dark vegetables and high-quality protein every day. Regularly perform pelvic floor muscle training such as squats and Kegel exercises, and avoid sitting for long periods of time and excessive drinking. Make sure to fall asleep before 23:00 to help secrete testosterone. It is recommended to maintain the frequency of sexual life at 1-2 times a week. If erectile dysfunction persists for more than 3 months, you need to go to the men's clinic in time to check for underlying diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Daily supplements of medicinal and food ingredients such as maca and ginseng can be appropriate, but they cannot replace regular treatment.
