Celery, which is available in every greengrocer's, possesses properties we often aren't aware of. It turns out it can help with potency issues even more effectively than oysters. Although dishes with this vegetable aren't typically associated with romance, it is considered one of the best natural ways to enhance potency.

Best when raw

We most often add celery root to soups, alongside other vegetables to create what is known as a soup vegetable mix. It provides a wonderful taste and aroma. However, its health benefits are optimised when eaten raw. Raw celery contains plenty of nutrients, including arginine—an amino acid that can effectively aid erections by producing nitric oxide, which helps to dilate blood vessels. Regular consumption of celery can also raise androsterone levels, a hormone affecting male libido.

An important ingredient!

In addition to arginine, celery provides fibre, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins A, C, and B group, making it beneficial for overall health and essential in a male diet. It is also an inexpensive and readily available vegetable.

A diet rich in vegetables

Celery is a renowned natural aphrodisiac, but other vegetables can also aid with erection problems. These issues are often related to folic acid deficiency, so it's worthwhile to enrich your diet with spinach, chickpeas, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, and sesame. Low zinc levels can also negatively affect testosterone levels, which can be balanced by consuming eggs, nuts, oysters, fish, and onions.
