The Strong Link Between Nutrition and Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Have you ever wondered why there seem to be so many advertisements for erectile dysfunction (ED) medication - Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra - on television and in the magazines you are reading?  I did, and began an investigation that would ultimately become my Doctoral dissertation.  The reason is quite simple – there is a lot of erectile dysfunction (ED).  Over 30 million men in the United States suffer from it.  ED affects over 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 and the incidence of complete ED triples between those ages.  Even more disconcerting, experts expect cases of ED to more than double over the next 25 years.

Erectile dysfunction imposes significant social costs.  It impacts a man’s satisfaction with his life and his relationship with others.  Studies show that sexual intimacy is desired by older adults.  A study in 29 countries consisting of 27,000 men and women aged 40 to 80 found less than 20% of the respondents agreed with the statement “older people no longer want sex”.  Due to the rising incidence of erectile dysfunction many couples will not be able to enjoy healthy sexual relations in their later years.

Why is erectile dysfunction on the rise?  Many researchers, including me, believe it is a direct result of poor dietary habits and lifestyle choices.  For many years it was thought that ED was mostly psychological, but recent studies have shown that over 80% of ED is due to physical causes.  For the erectile process to function correctly several systems of the body need to be healthy – blood needs to be flowing smoothly and unobstructed throughout the body, nerves need to be firing and sending messages between the brain and the relevant body parts, and libido needs to be present to encourage sexual interest.  All of these systems require proper nutrition to correctly function.

To better understand the causes of ED we can look at the scientifically documented risk factors.  Risk factors related to lifestyle choices include alcohol consumption, diet, hormone levels, inflammation, obesity, sedentary (lack of exercise) lifestyle, cholesterol levels, use of prescription drugs, tobacco smoking, stress, and (yes) motorcycling.  There is also a strong association between ED and the medical diagnoses of depression, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).  Studies show that most men with ED suffer from these conditions which are often a direct result of the same lifestyle choice risk factors previously listed.  In fact, the connection has been made that ED is often a warning sign for cardiovascular disease.

So, how is this all related to diet and nutrition?  For the body to operate optimally it needs the right nutrients.  Many studies have shown the connection between a poor diet and all the risk factors and conditions listed above.  Diets that are high in sugars, refined grains, processed meat and dairy; while low in fruits, vegetables, protein and healthy fats produce these conditions.  Once men are placed on healthier diets, their symptoms of ED are reduced and often completely eliminated.  Through proper nutrition, regular exercise, and sometimes with the help of specific supplements proper erectile functioning can be restored.

Many people will ask, “What’s wrong with using medications”?  My answer is while the medications will work in most cases, there are side effects, some of which can be quite dangerous.  But even more important, the medication is not repairing the underlying condition.  Erectile dysfunction is your body telling you that something is not quite right and needs your attention.  It is your warning sign to take action before a more serious or life threatening event occurs.

Neurotransmitters – What Makes You Feel Good, Happy, and Focused

Ever wonder what really makes you feel good?  

While many people will answer “sugar” because they notice the “high” as sugar is flowing into their blood stream and giving them energy.  Of course, we all know what follows - the “low” as the sugar runs out and we crave more sugar to feel good again.  As you may have guessed, the correct answer is protein and the neurotransmitters which are made from it.  Neurotransmitters help you feel good for the long haul.  

We can certainly see the physical nature of proteins – a healthy and strong body contributes to how we feel.  But that alone does not do it.  We need the mind as well.  This is where the neurotransmitters come in to play - the “messengers” from the brain to the body.  Protein is essential for building neurotransmitters and their receptor sites on cell membranes.  

Think of receptor sites as parking spaces and the neurotransmitters as cars.  Without a place to park you just keep driving around in circles.  Once you are parked you can go about your business.  The same goes for neurotransmitters and receptor sites.  You need the message to be sent and for it to reach its destination – the cell.

Quite simply – neurotransmitters give us the ability to be happy, alert, remember, and focus.

 

There are two types of neurotransmitters.  Excitatory neurotransmitters energize, excite, and stimulate us helping us to focus, learn, and remember.  Inhibitory neurotransmitters keep us happy, relaxed, and peaceful.  As with most areas of life, it is all about balance. 

There are six key neurotransmitters: For focus - dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; for learning and remembering – acetylcholine; for feeling relaxed – GABA; and for being happy - serotonin.

Perhaps the most significant of all is serotonin, the “feel good” neurotransmitter.  Low levels of serotonin have been linked to depression.  The major anti-depressant medications (Prozac, Zoloft, and Lexapro) are known as SSRIs (or serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors).  These drugs work by making serotonin last longer in the nervous system so that you feel good longer.  

Of course this is not addressing why one would be low in serotonin in the first place.  Low serotonin is also linked to cravings, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, aggressive behavior, and headaches.  

Another important feature of serotonin is that it converts into melatonin.  This hormone regulates sleep and is an important antioxidant.  Some sleeping disorders may be from lack of melatonin.  Serotonin is made from the amino acid tryptophan which is found primarily in turkey and seafood.  Also note that serotonin is depleted by high sugar (carbohydrate) diets.

Dopamine is our pleasure and reward neurotransmitter.  It is responsible for keeping us focused and alert (thus allowing us to receive our reward!).  Dopamine is made from the amino acid tyrosine which is found in poultry, fish (particularly tuna), eggs, beans, nuts and seeds.  

Epinephrine and norepinephrine work with dopamine and are stimulating and energy-giving.  They are made from the amino acids tyrosine and phenylanine.  Low levels of dopamine are associated with attention and behavior disorders (such as addiction).

Acetylcholine supports our memory, attention, and ability to think.  One of the key ingredients is choline - found in highest quantities in eggs, beef, and beef liver, but also in broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

GABA is our calming neurotransmitter.  It is made from the amino acid taurine.  Taurine is a non-essential amino acid that can be manufactured from cysteine in the liver, but vitamin B6 must be present.  Taurine is found naturally in seafood and meat.  Low levels of GABA are associated with panic attacks, anxiety and insomnia.

As you can see protein (and mainly animal based protein) is a key source of the nutrients required to build our neurotransmitters.  Unfortunately, many of our diets lack sufficient protein.  Does yours?  This is one of the many reasons I recommend protein is consumed with each meal.

The Dick Diet Works!

What did American men spend over $2 billion for in 2011?  Beer?  Chips?  Flowers?  Chocolate?   

Well, maybe, but one answer I know for sure is medications for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).  Worldwide over $4.3 billion was spent.  Why?  It is estimated that over 30 million men in the United States suffer from erectile dysfunction (and over 150 million worldwide) with that number likely to double in the next 25 years.  A landmark study found that ED affects 52% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 and the incidence increases with age.

It is great to theorize about how a dietary program should work, but getting results is the so called proof, dare I say, in the pudding!  Here’s a recent testimonial from a very satisfied gentleman on The Dick Diet®.  And I suppose his wife is happy too!

Here’s a sample of what he said, “The best part is that my 'diet' consists of more of the things I want to eat vs. things I thought were 'healthy' to eat, and I have a renewed confidence that I can perform as I feel I should without depending on any drugs or other unnatural processes.”

What Makes You Feel Good - Sugar or Protein?

Ever wonder what really makes you feel good?  Many people will answer “sugar” because they notice the “high” as sugar is flowing into their blood stream and giving them energy.  Of course, we all know what follows - the “low” as the sugar runs out and we crave more sugar to feel good again.  As you may have guessed, the correct answer is protein.  It makes you feel good for the long haul.  Why is this?  Because protein is the structural basis for our body - our muscles, organs, glands, nails, hair, vital fluids (blood, hormones, neurotransmitters) and enzymes are all protein based.  

We can certainly see the physical nature of proteins – a healthy and strong body contributes to how we feel.  But that alone does not do it.  We need the mind as well.  This is where the neurotransmitters come in to play - the “messengers” from the brain to the body.  Protein is essential for building neurotransmitters and their receptor sites on cell membranes.  Think of receptor sites as parking spaces and the neurotransmitters as cars.  Without a place to park you just keep driving around in circles.  Once you are parked you can go about your business.  The same goes for neurotransmitters and receptor sites.  You need the message to be sent and for it to reach its destination – the cell.

As you can see protein (and mainly animal based protein) is a key source of the nutrients required to build our neurotransmitters.  Unfortunately, many of our diets lack sufficient protein.  If we follow the food pyramid or the new food plate we are getting approximately 10% of calories from protein while consuming 60% of calories from carbohydrates.  To your body carbohydrates are sugar, so this is a high-carbohydrate diet which depletes nutrients required for building neurotransmitters.
 

Proteins come from both animal (meat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese, eggs) and plant sources (whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds).  Only animal proteins are considered “complete” amino acids, containing all the essential amino acids.  If we are not eating sufficient animal protein, there is a considerable risk of not having sufficient raw materials available to make the neurotransmitters that are so crucial to our mental health.  So there are two inherent nutritional risks – first not eating sufficient protein and second not eating enough complete proteins.  Since our body is constantly building and repairing itself and our brain is constantly working, it requires a constant supply of protein.  Therefore I recommend protein is consumed with each meal. Following this type of diet your protein consumption will be more like 30-35% of daily calories consumed.

Erectile Dysfunction - World Wide Epidemic?

Well, that probably caught your eye! I wouldn't say it is a world wide epidemic, at least we haven't been told that yet by the people who tell us such things. However, it certainly is a problem. Just ask the millions of men (and women) whose lives have been affected.

The ground breaking study on the incidence of erectile dysfunction in the United States was the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) conducted between 1987 and 1997. Men between the ages of 40 and 70 were interviewed in 1987-1989 and reinterviewed in 1995-1997. Results of this study indicated that 52% of men suffered from either "minimal, moderate or complete impotence" with "the prevalence of complete impotence tripling from 5 to 15% between subject ages 40 and 70." That means the older the man was, the higher the likelihood.

Given that this study is now over 10 years old my suspicion is that these numbers are even higher today. And I must be right as every day I hear an advertisement on the radio telling me that erectile dysfunction is normal! Believe me, it is not normal, men were not designed that way. It is a function of our lifestyle, just as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are.

The worldwide incidence of erectile dysfunction is estimated at over 152 million men, with a forecast of 322 million men by the year 2025. A European study in Vienna of 2,869 men between the ages of 20 and 80 found 32% of their sample have some level of erectile dysfunction. A Canadian study of 3,921 men between the ages of 40 and 88found that 49.4% of men sampled have some level of erectile dysfunction. An Australian study of adult males in 2002 indicates that 39% reports some degree of erectile dysfunction and 18.6% experience severe erectile dysfunction.

Studies show that older adults continue to desire sexual intimacy when there is a partner and health status that allows this behavior. A study in 29 countries consisting of 27,000 men and women aged 40 to 80 reports, “Only 17% of men and 23% of women said ‘older people no longer want sex.’” In fact, experts concur that if all systems are go men can enjoy sexual intercourse well into their 90s.

The Dick Diet - Contents of the Book

Here's a preliminary outline of the book chapters:

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction is described as a major health issue confronting a sizeable and growing population of men in the United States and throughout the world. The chapter defines erectile dysfunction, how it is measured and presents the author’s primary research findings. The purpose of the book - to encourage men to live healthier lifestyles is explained. The study of the nutrition and lifestyle habits and the sexual function of male respondents illustrates the magnitude and true nature of the problem and why this is an important work. The introduction concludes with chapter overviews.

Chapter 1 – Getting It Up: This chapter explains the anatomy and physiology behind how the erection process works. The physical processes (anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, nervous system and endocrine system) and the mental and emotional processes are detailed. How the erection process is designed to work and where it can go wrong is explored through a discussion of the types of erectile dysfunction and an understanding of the origin of the chemicals required for healthy functioning and what foods produce them. Most men (and women) are completely unaware of the complexities of this process and the fine tuning involved.

Chapter 2 – Keeping It Up: This chapter describes the risk factors associated with erectile dysfunction. It describes what they are and how they relate and compare to one another. An analysis and discussion is presented of each: age, alcohol consumption, diet, male hormones, inflammation and obesity, sedentary lifestyle, cholesterol, prescription drugs, smoking, stress, motorcycle riding, vascular diseases (endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular disease), metabolic syndrome, diabetes, neuropathy, depression, lower urinary tract symptoms, prostate conditions.

Chapter 3 – The Dick Diet Foods: nutritional therapies for erectile dysfunction: In this chapter the first element of The Dick Diet is introduced – food. The Dick Diet foods and consumption guidelines are described. Rosen’s Five Rites of Nutrition are introduced and explained. We are what we eat, we are what we eat eats, we are what we digest, we eat what we are, and the importance of balance and moderation. The relationship of specific foods to specific chemicals needed by the body for the erection process to work efficiently is described.

Chapter 4 – The Dick Diet Supplements: herbal and supplement therapies for erectile dysfunction: This chapter provides an explanation of the various herbs and supplements that are used around the world to treat erectile dysfunction. Herbs discussed are: ashwagandha, ginkgo, ginseng, horny goat weed, maca, rhodiola rosea, saw palmetto, tongkat ali, tribulus, and yohimbe. Supplements discussed are: L-arginine, Omega 3 fatty acids, and anti-oxidants (pycnogenol, grape seed extract, red wine extract, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E). The reader will learn what they are, how they work, why they work. This chapter will also include a discussion of allopathic treatments such as devices, surgeries and pharmaceuticals and why natural therapies are preferred.

Chapter 5 – The Dick Diet Lifestyle: exercise and relaxation therapies for erectile dysfunction. This chapter will explore the importance of both exercise and relaxation and how they relate to erectile dysfunction. Exercise techniques such as cardiovascular training, burst training, and yoga are discussed along with breathing and meditation techniques for relaxation.

Chapter 6 – The Dick Diet: sample diet and menus.

Conclusion

The Dick Diet - The Book is Coming

Yes, I'm working on a book called The Dick Diet which this blog will accompany. The book is an active project so many of the posts will highlight what I am writing about. Here's a quick summary of what the book is all about:

•The purpose of the book is to show the relationship between nutrition (defined as diet, supplementation, exercise, and relaxation) and men’s health (specifically erectile functioning). The goal is to encourage men to take action and follow this plan to optimize their health and sexual performance.

•The core message regarding the association between nutrition and erectile dysfunction is compelling enough to get a man’s (and a woman’s) attention.

•There are other books on the market about erectile dysfunction. This book is decidedly different. While other books focus on medical treatments (surgeries and pharmaceuticals) for erectile dysfunction, this book focuses on prevention and natural remedies including healthy food, nutritional supplements, and herbs.

•It is my belief that current messages warning of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer from lifestyle have not been effective in changing behavior. It is my belief that delivering the message through the vehicle of their very “manhood” will drive it home and behavioral changes will occur.

•The book will help men improve their overall health and encourage men to accept responsibility for their own health. It will provide alternative ideas to medications for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

•The book is not intended to be a “diet” book or a “cook” book, although it will contain dietary and cooking advice. This is not a “diet” but a way of life.

Erectile Dysfunction is not caused by aging

Erectile dysfunction is not caused by aging. So, guys (and gals) don't accept someone telling you, “it is because you're getting old”. Studies show that disease (and erectile dysfunction) is not a function of age, but of overall health. Age only becomes important if you've been proliferating bad habits over an extended period of time.

Erectile dysfunction means you are not healthy. It is a major warning signal for other diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease. Studies show a direct correlation between ED and CVD. So, if you've got ED, you might want to get your heart checked out. In a way, ED is the body’s way of not allowing reproduction. The body is inherently smart. It knows that you (the daddy) need to be healthy and around for the child to have an optimal upbringing.

Nutrition and Erectile Dysfunction - The Link

Have you ever wondered why there seem to be so many advertisements for erectile dysfunction (ED) medication - Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra - on television and in the magazines you are reading?

Welcome to The Dick Diet Blog

Welcome to the Dick Diet blog site. I'm sure you are asking - what is this all about? Quite simply - it is about men's health and one of the most prevalent issues facing men (and women) today. It is about erectile dysfunction and nutrition. Did you know that over 50% of men over the age of 40 suffer some from some form of ED? And did you know that nutrition plays a major role in both causing ED and in reversing ED?

Where did this all come from?

Here's my story: Several years ago I began my own journey to better health. Along the way I've lost over 45 pounds and have never felt better than I do now. I no longer have an allergy triggered asthma every fall. I no longer have to get up several times during the night to go to the bathroom. I no longer have to worry about where the closest bathroom may be! All of this has come from cleaning up my diet and bringing my life into better balance. I have learned what good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can do for the body and the mind as well.

Over this same period I transitioned from the life of a corporate executive to that of a small business owner. During the latter years of my corporate life I began to make the changes to a healthier lifestyle and I'll always remember the comments I would get from other men about what I was or was not eating and drinking. My favorite quote was, "I'm going to eat what I want and then I'll have the big one." Back then I would just smile. It was only once I left that world that I realized what my answer should have been. "Well, you better hope it kills you, but most likely they're going to keep you alive and your quality of life will suck."

But that pretty much reflects the male attitude about health. Even today the majority of my clients are women. Why is it that men have less awareness around their health and seem to be waiting for the big one? Why is it that they don't seem to care about the risk of cancer or diabetes or heart disease or stroke? Why does it have to happen before they "see the light".

Then I thought to myself - what if I could identify something that they would care about and something that they would not want to lose? As they say - it always comes back to sex! Coincidentally, I needed a topic for my dissertation for my PhD. I wasn't sure what to research, but noticed the unending commercials about ED. It didn't take me long to put 2 plus 2 together. These companies were spending a lot of money to advertise. There must be some underlying issue. That's when I started my research and discovered the 50% number referenced above.

Through this blog I'll communicate what I have learned about erectile dysfunction and educate you as well. Each week I'll create a new post. I invite you to come along for the ride!
