Introduction
Tired of dealing with premature ejaculation? You’re not alone. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual issue for men, affecting about one in every three men at some point in life. Premature ejaculation (or PE) can occur for a variety of reasons, from anxiety about ejaculating early to physical issues such as penile sensitivity, hormonal fluctuations and inflammation of the urethra or prostate. Today, however, we’re delving into Zinc and Magnesium-rich foods for premature ejaculation.
We hear about them all the time, but do they really work?
Treatments
Like most sexual disorders, there are a variety of treatments for premature ejaculation. Some, such as lidocaine spray, work by physically desensitizing the penis. Others, such as sertraline and other SSRIs, work by changing the way your brain behaves during sexual activity.
There are also countless home remedies for premature ejaculation. Below, we look at Zinc and Magnesium-rich foods that you can start including in your daily meal.
Zinc and Magnesium-Rich Foods
While we won’t say definitively that there are foods to cure premature ejaculation, we will say comfortably that there’s some scientific evidence out there to back certain foods’ impacts on libido, PE and sexual health.
Foods that are rich in zinc and magnesium are linked to some improvements in sexual health, from boosting testosterone (one of several hormones responsible for an optimal sex drive) to potentially improving your endurance and energy.
There’s also some evidence that being deficient in magnesium could affect your sexual health, contributing to premature ejaculation.
In a 2001 study, researchers compared the magnesium content in the sperm of normal, healthy men with the sperm of men with premature ejaculation. The researchers found that the men with premature ejaculation had lower levels of magnesium in their sperm than their peers.
There is no direct, causal link between low seminal magnesium levels and premature ejaculation. However the researchers believe that low magnesium levels could lead to the constriction of blood vessels. This in turn increases blood pressure, affecting sexual performance and contributing to PE.
The solution
Magnesium-rich foods such as steamed spinach which improves blood glucose levels and lowers blood pressure. Foods rich in magnesium include avocados, dark chocolate, nuts, seeds, beans, bananas, soy milk, baked potato and salmon. These foods also tend to be rich in zinc, leading to increased levels of two of the most important minerals for optimal sexual health.
Premature ejaculation can be frustrating and stressful, both for you and for your partner. It can affect everything from your sexual self-confidence to your relationship as a whole. Luckily, it’s a treatable condition that you don’t need to live with forever.
