Patient's question:
After getting married, my husband's performance in that area is a bit unsatisfactory. I'm a bit worried but also afraid of hurting his confidence, so I want to ask what kind of food can improve sexual function?Doctor's answer:
The most basic is to properly enhance nutrition. Plant foods such as jujubes, sesame seeds, honey, grapes, lotus seeds, Chinese yam, and walnuts have the function of tonifying the kidneys, replenishing essence, and boosting yang. They play an important role in maintaining and significantly improving male sexual function. Additionally, animal and plant foods such as shrimp, sea cucumber, loach, sparrow, cucumber, chives, and wakame also help prevent early decline in male sexual function.Furthermore, foods such as Chinese yam, eel, ginkgo biloba, sea cucumber, frozen tofu, saltwater fish, soybean skin, peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds have the effect of strengthening essence, as they contain a high amount of lysine, which is a major component of sperm.
