Male enhancement refers to the masculine vitality in men, which is a manifestation of men's pursuit of a higher quality of life. Male enhancement is different from conditions like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and it is not considered as a male sexual dysfunction. However, there are misconceptions surrounding this topic, and it is important to approach it correctly. Male enhancement is not limited to medication; it also requires exercise, a balanced diet, and a healthy lifestyle.
Research in the field of medicine has found that certain foods have the ability to promote sexual function and improve fertility.
Seafood: Sea cucumbers, abalones, clams, and loaches are all effective foods for boosting sperm production. Fish, shrimp, shellfish, and seaweed are rich in zinc, an essential substance for the production of testosterone, as well as a vital element for the secretion of lubricating fluid in female reproductive organs. Therefore, consuming seafood can increase libido.
Nuts and Seeds: Pine nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peach kernels, and peanuts have the ability to stimulate sexual desire and arouse sexual impulses.
Leeks: Known as the "herb of rising yang."
Eggs: Eggs contain eight essential amino acids for the human body. They can strengthen sperm, improve semen quality, enhance sperm vitality, and are also the best food for recovering energy after sexual activity.
Malt Oil: Malt oil is rich in vitamins B and E. Lack of vitamin E can lead to penile degeneration, shrinkage, and reduced secretion of sex hormones. Therefore, it is advisable to consume foods containing malt oil, such as corn, millet, and whole wheat flour.
Animal Kidneys: Kidneys from pigs, dogs, sheep, and cows have the function of nourishing kidney energy and replenishing essence. For example, sheep kidneys are sweet and warming, which can tonify kidney energy. Pig kidneys are salty and neutral, which can assist kidney energy and benefit the bladder. Dog kidneys have a better effect on enhancing sexual function. Some animal testicles can treat conditions like erectile dysfunction, spermatorrhea, and seminal emission.
Spicy Foods: Seasonings like onions, garlic, leeks, and Chinese chives have the ability to stimulate sexual desire.
Silkworm Pupae: Silkworm pupae are rich in nutrients and can tonify the liver and kidneys, nourish essence and energy, and enhance male sexual performance. They can also help with preventing premature ejaculation. Middle-aged and elderly individuals with conditions like liver and kidney deficiency, insufficient essence and energy, and erectile dysfunction can consume silkworm pupae.
Honey: Honey contains plant hormones that are similar to pituitary hormones in the human body. It has the ability to activate the glands and the sugar content in honey is highly beneficial for semen production.
