It has been said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac, but can it really improve your sex life? According to this recent article there are more uses for chocolate than we thought.
In a 2008 study on the therapeutic potential of chocolate, an Italian university published a Journal of Nutrition with findings that, “Flavanols from chocolate appear to increase nitric oxide bioavailability, protect vascular endothelium, and decrease cardiovascular disease risk factors…our findings suggest flavanol-rich, low-energy cocoa food products may have a positive impact on [cardiovascular disease] risk factors.”
It is said that 50-200 dark chocolate chips can help prevent the most common cause of erectile dysfunction -- cardiovascular damage. Our bodies naturally regulate levels of nitric oxide, but when that fails there are pills that are tailored to do that for us. The flavonoids in dark chocolate, however, enhance our bodies’ levels of nitric oxide in a more natural way than medication.
Modifying the foods you eat can be one strategy for improving your sex life, but it certainly doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. The Boston Medical Group can help you assemble a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to fit your lifestyle.
