Pomegranate Juice - Your Best Bedroom Buddy
I drink about 4 oz of Pomegranate Juice religiously every day. I can't think of many things,
besides maybe a Low Fat Diet and Exercise
that will help your sex life in more ways. The reason is simple: Pomegranate Juice helps your
cardiovascular system in a dozen different ways which, in turn, ramps up the blood flow to your penis.
First of all, studies have shown that Pomegranate Juice lowers cholesterol and LDL, the bad
cholesterol. [4] Still other studies have shown that Pomegranate Juice inhibits
uptake of the nasty oxidized LDL [5] and dramatically lowers blood pressure. [6]
CAUTION: Pomegranate Juice can potentially interfere with certain
medications including statins, calcium channel blockers, immunosuppressants,
antiarrhythmics and others. The issue is that Pomegranate Juice (and
Grapefruit Juice) affect the P450 3A4 enzyme system within the liver, i.e.
absorption of certain drugs can be affected. One journal documented a
serious muscle tissue breakdown case that occurred from Pomegranate Juice
interacting with a statin. [7] Please consult with your doctor or pharmacist
for possible interactions.
You put all these properties together and Pomegranate Juice becomes a near magic
elixir that
actually partially reversed artheriosclerosis in one study! You read that right -
pomegranate juice can actually clear off some of the plaque in
your arteries
assuming you take it faithfully for three, six or even twelve months. [1] Here is
a quote from Lef.org's site about this study: "Remarkably, patients drinking 1.7
oz of pomegranate juice experienced a whopping 35% reduction in the IMT score and
a 44% improvement in carotid artery blood flow". IMT is the thickness between inner
and middle layers of the artery.
Do you know the foods and drinks that increase erection-boosting
Nitric Oxide? Check out the
Peak Erectile Strength Diet where I show
you how to dramatically and naturally improve your erectile strength.
This same study showed an average 20% drop in blood
pressure and, just as important for us guys, it will significantly increase
Nitric
Oxide output: one study showed as much as 50% in heart cells!
Of course, many supplements, fruits, vegetables and even a few grains will
increase your Nitric Oxide levels. Researchers in one study looked at many of
the heavy hitters in this category and concluded that Pomegranate Juice was
"much more potent than Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, red wine, ascorbic
acid [Vitamin C], and DL-alpha-tocopherol [Vitamin D]". [3]
Did you know that you can raise and lower your testosterone based on the foods you eat?
And did you know that boosting testosterone through diet in the wrong way can
lead to erectile dysfunction? Read about the High
Testosterone Diet to find out how to improve both your testosterone AND your sex life.
Have any studies directly demonstrated improved erectile strength from pomegranate juice consumption?
Yes! One recent study showed pomegrantate juice improved
erectile function in 42 men with ED. [2]
By the way, this is just one of the superfoods that boost Nitric Oxide and
repair the veins and arteries to your penis. Please
check out the
Peak Erectile Strength Diet Program for more
details.
NOTE: I recommend that you do not drink pomegranate juice mixed with any other juice or corn syrup or
any other ingredient and only drink between 2 and 8 oz per day. You want pure pomegranate juice. The cheapest way to get it
is in medium sized glass jars in health food stores and supermarkets. (The studies
generally have people taking 8 oz of this magic elixir.) My experience is that unless
you buy the more expensive POM brand, this is not the best-tasting juice.
But I guzzle the cheap stuff down like medicine anyway.
Over time pure pomegranate juice will make a difference when coupled with the foods, drinks
and diet program that I outline in the
Peak Erectile Strength Diet Program.
