THE VIRILITY-ENHANCEMENT DIET: THE FISH CONNECTION

The concept is very simple: eating fish at least once a week will lower your cholesterol, enhance overall vascularity, and improve erectile health in the process. New studies on the effects of fish eating support the idea that polyunsaturated fatty acids are responsible for this. The omega-3 fatty acids, found primarily in the oils of the fish, lower blood triglyceride levels. The omega-3s seem to make blood less likely to coagulate, which, in turn, makes it less likely to clot. They accomplish this by raising the levels of prostacyclin in the blood, thereby making the arterial walls relax. At the same time, they lower the levels of thromboxane, another chemical messenger which is responsible for the constriction of blood vessels.

One study of 1,300 men showed that those who consumed at least eight to nine ounces of fish weekly (and that was mostly canned tuna) had an incredible 40 percent lower risk of a fatal heart attack than those men who ate little or no fish.

To get the fullest benefits of all fish has to offer, I suggest that you eat it two or three times a week. Fatty species, such as herring, cod, mackerel, salmon, and sardines, contain greater quantities of omega-3s than do leaner varieties. But if the idea of eating that extra piece of fish each week is just not appealing to you, there are other ways to get the omega-3s you need. Flaxseed may be the source that will work for you.
