Viagra, when taken 30 minutes before sexual stimulation, is effective between four to six hours in your system before it metabolizes in the liver. Viagra works due to its main drug, Sildenafil. Sildenafil inhibits the PDE5 hormonal enzyme. This allows blood vessels to expand and the blood to flow freely throughout your body, making its way to your corpus cavernosa, creating a long lasting, hard erection during sexual stimulation.
Though all labels say that Viagra (Sildenafil) is effective from four to six hours, there are things you can do to make sure that you get the maximum amount of time that Viagra can give you for effectiveness.
A healthy nutritional regime might be all you need in order to get the “bang for your buck” from Viagra. The right kind of diet and a daily dose of exercise will allow you to receive the maximum results from Viagra when treating erectile dysfunction. Even just a daily run around your neighborhood can further expand your blood vessels, allowing even more blood to flow to your penis during sexual stimulation. A low fat, low cholesterol diet is the ideal diet for any man who has erectile dysfunction. Foods high in cholesterol and fat create blockages throughout your circulatory system. These blockages do not let blood vessels expand to their fullest potential and the blockages can actually prevent blood from flowing to the penis. You should also include in your diet garlic, fruits, and nuts, as these all increase your libido, and when in combination with Viagra, can give you the energy boost you need to make Viagra as effective as possible.
Yes this is a “mother-type” statement, but it is true, don’t forget your vitamins! Certain vitamins give Viagra that extra boost to give it the maximum power needed. Vitamin E, which can be found in whole grain cereals and soy products, improves the flow of blood. The vitamin zinc increases testosterone levels.
And do not forget that water bottle. It gives your body a full cleanse, getting rid of anything that might react adversely with Viagra.
