On the other hand, quantitatively appropriate intake of unsaturated fatty acids such as from fish and vegetable resources enhances vascular functioning and helps relieve impotence.

• AMINO ACIDS: Protein rich diet results in intake of L-arginine amino acids and other amino acids of crucial importance which in turn would lead to enhanced protein synthesis that is essential for sperm formation and hormonal production along with enhanced production of nitric oxide i.e. essential for sexual stimulation and erection. Red meat and fish proteins could relieve the symptoms of impotence quite sufficiently.

• VITAMINS: Vitamin rich diet supplements the body's needs of essential catalysts and accelerates the efficacy of body’s metabolism. Vitamin-B complex is the most crucial of all. Deficiency of Vitamin-A, Vitamin-E and Vitamin-C are also observed to cause erectile dysfunction.
