Scientists have long known there's a connection between diabetes and ED.
But until recently, they believed that the mechanism behind this is damage caused to nerves and blood cells.
It's now clear that's only part of the story.
That's because researchers from Johns Hopkins University looked at this exact question.
And here’s what they found:
A specific type of blood sugar, which is elevated in people with diabetes, inhibits a key enzyme that releases nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide, as you may know, is the chemical that allows blood vessels to relax — causing that full, hard, self-sustaining erection all guys want.
So what does this research mean for you?
For one, it explains why traditional ED solutions (I'm looking at you, little blue pill) that try to boost nitric oxide often do NOT work for guys with diabetes.
Second, it shows the importance of lowering your blood sugar, whether you've got diabetes or not.
After all, as this research proves, higher blood sugar levels directly attack your ability to get hard.
So how do you control your blood sugar?
There are many exotic options you can try.
But there's one you've probably heard of already, because it's working so well for people.
And that option is to switch to a keto diet — meaning you up the fats in your diet, and you cut out the carbs.
We know this works because a second study — from Harvard University — showed that a keto diet had “exceptional” effects on controlling blood sugar levels.
So it’s certainly worth a try.
That said, I won't lie to you.
A keto diet can be a major change, and if you're not well-prepared in advance, it can be difficult to stick to.
But the results can be incredible, both for your erections and for your sexual health.
And if you are ready to give keto a shot, then there's a resource I want to recommend.
It shows you how you can go on keto — without giving up bread, pizza, and sandwiches.
