Men have been suffering silently from erectile dysfunction not knowing what to do or where to go for help.

A man’s sexual ability is dear to him and so when he has problems with it, his ego is ruined and his whole life feels like a mess.

Hormone replacements and Viagra are just some of the methods that are used to treat erectile dysfunction.

A recent study however has revealed the foods men could eat to boost their prowess in the bedroom. The study, conducted by scientists from the University of Athens suggests that a weekly dose of olive oil is much better than the renowned Viagra.

As per the study, nine table spoons of olive oil reduces the risk of impotence by about 40%. Besides that, olive oil also increases testosterone levels which helps in reducing the chances of getting erectile dysfunction.
