Foods Rich in Arginine

Viagra works by blocking an enzyme called PDE-5, which breaks down nitric oxide. This nitric oxide is used by the body to fill the penis with blood during an erection.

Arginine is the main source of nitric oxide in the body. Increased blood flow during intercourse helps men achieve and maintain an erection.

Some of the common foods that are rich in Arginine include:

  • Turkey
  • Walnuts
  • Chickpeas
  • Lentils
  • Brazil nuts
  • Beef
  • Sesame seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Lobsters
  • Shrimps
  • Salmon
  • Almonds
  • Spirulina

Foods Rich in Zinc

The male reproductive system must have enough zinc to fully develop and maintain. It has been found that men who are deficient in zinc tend to have underdeveloped testicles and low sperm counts. Therefore, zinc is very important for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Some of the food sources that are rich in zinc include:

  • Chia seeds
  • Oysters
  • Lean beef
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Dark chocolate
  • Dairy products
  • Soy bean
  • Cashew nuts
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Legumes
  • Hemp seeds

People with viral infections such as herpes should not take arginine supplements. They also recommend avoiding foods high in arginine but low in the amino acid lysine. This appears to encourage the growth of some viruses.
