Improving Erectile Dysfunction with a Low Fat Diet

There are basically two reasons to eat a Low Fat (or Ornish) Diet: 1) your penis and 2) your penis. You can probably guess the third reason as well.

The reason I say this is that a typical High Fat Diet/Low Carb Diet has negative short term AND long term effects on your blood flow. First, let's talk about the short term reasons. Researchers compared for six weeks a Low Carb (or High Fat) Diet versus a Low Fat (or Ornish) Diet. The study clearly showed less Nitric Oxide and decreased blood flow for the Low Carb (or High Fat) Diet. [4] The lead researcher of this study warned that "the reduced production from the endothelium of nitric oxide, a specific chemical, puts the vessel at higher risk of abnormal thickening, greater clotting potential, and cholesterol deposition, all part of the atherosclerosis process". That's a scienfically polite way of saying that a Atkins Diet will clog your arteries, slow blood flow and make your arteries less elastic, i.e. temporarily hardened. This, of course, is the antithesis of what you need for a good sex life.

Also:

There are no pure zero-carb centenarians

There are no pure vegan centenarians

Small amounts of meat with alot of green veggies and fruits/starch eating centenarians exist, yes.

The low fat diet appears to be good for the morning wood

Low fat diet totally killed my sex drive man, you need to finish that sentence with "for some people". Like I said, there is no one diet for everybody.

some people thrive on a high fat low carb diet but there are no high fat zero-carb centenarians.

There are some actually, but they're few and far between.

I'm sure there have been some 100 year old carb-only people through history as well, like I said, it's different for everybody.

In other words, pure zero-carb centenarians and pure vegan centenarians are more rare than hens with teeth.

OK

Indigenous islanders' diet

People from the islands of Ryūkyū (of which Okinawa is the largest) used to have the longest life expectancy in the world.[2], although their life expectancy rank among Japanese prefectures has plummeted in recent years[3] This has in part been attributed to the traditional local diet, but also to other variables such as genetic factors, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Generally, the traditional diet of the islanders was 20% lower in calories than the Japanese average and contained 300% of the green/yellow vegetables (particularly heavy on sweet potatoes). The Okinawan diet is low in fat and has only 25% of the sugar and 75% of the grains of the average Japanese dietary intake.[1] The traditional diet also includes a relatively small amount of fish (less than half a serving per day) and somewhat more in the way of soy and other legumes (6% of total caloric intake). With exception of pork, almost no meat is consumed; virtually no eggs or dairy products are consumed either.[4] Okinawans include pork in their diets. However, the fat content of the pork is eliminated; prior to the preparation of the pork, the fat is boiled off. [5][6][7]

An Okinawan reaching 110 years of age has typically had a diet consistently averaging no more than one calorie per gram and has a BMI of 20.4.[citation needed]

It's also been shown that the okinawins would supplement their foods and salts with wood ashes, plant based bioavailable minerals, this is more on the lines of their longevity than anything else. In animal studies it's been shown that you can almost triple life spans by cutting carbs and increasing nutrients. Mineral / nutrient dense diets with calorie restriction is probably the real shot for a long life, it's what I aim for personally. I supplement a lot of needed minerals (that you won't get from real plant sources in this day and age) and go my whole day on sea-weed and a spoon of butter, low calories and amazingly efficient. Supper is some liver and carrot (raw). I still don't recommend this diet to anybody though, because it's up to their bodies to tell them what's right.

You can almost triple life-spans by lowering calorie intake and increasing nutrient density, not lowering carbs per se.

A table spoon of butter, at nearly 60% daily intake of saturated fat (and some cholesterol, a plus), keeps me going all day with little need for anything else besides water and some seaweed. Later in the evening I have a proper meal of course. Very low cal.

Most Asian men don’t experience enlarged prostate. Reports show that Asian-American men face a higher risk of developing prostate cancer than Asian men living in their homeland. However, their risks are lower when compared with African-American men.


Why do Asian men in their homeland have lower incidence of enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP)? One of the reasons is the food they eat.

American loves BBQ meat. Studies show that BBQ meat with charring may cause cancer. Western diet is also full of saturated fats which may link to prostate problems.

Asian men especially Chinese and Japanese eat plenty of vegetables especially legumes and fish which you don’t see in Western diet. In addition, Chinese and Japanese diets are rich in isoflavone. It helps to maintain the health of your prostate. Legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, red clover, and beans contain a lot of isoflavone.

If you practice the way they eat, you can maintain a better prostate health than your peers.

That appears to be a very anorexic approach.

Too few calories can also cause hypothyroidism and increased estrogen[with baldness and prostate enlargement] and fat storage with loss of muscle mass. A person becomes both skinny and flabby.

I don,t think that could be possible on a low calorie intake. Also the more I exercise the more nutrients I can take in

from food. Correct.
