What are some pill free ways to improve your erections?

A healthy lifestyle and watermelon.

(Body) But what does that mean?

Heart healthy lifestyle changes are sex healthy lifestyle changes. Healthy diets have been shown to reduce and even reverse the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Of course there are medications out there to treat the symptoms but are generally quite costly and often have unpleasant side effects (head aches, flushing, muscle aches etc). These medications increase cGMP levels which in turn dilate the blood vessels and allow for easier blood flow.

But there is an amino acid called Citrulline which also helps produce nitric oxide which then increases cGMP.

A single blind study conducted in 2011 showed that 1.5g of oral citrulline a day for a month was able improve erection firmness for all 24 patients with the average age of 56.5 with mild erectile dysfunction (1). The equivalent doses in food would be three and a half serves of red watermelon or one serve of yellow watermelon to give enough citrulline to enhance sex erection quality. Otherwise 1.5g of citrulline powder would be perfectly fine.

In addition to having better erections from increased nitric oxide, it is also a natural way to treat pre-hypertension and to protect individuals at risk or vascular events such as heart attacks. So whether you are trying to boost sexual or athletic performance or protect yourself from heart disease, eating a diet high in natural nitrates should always be practiced.
