Eat Blueberries to Improve Sexual Performance
by Frank Jovine on 07/27/2009 in Health
Who would have figured that this tasty fruit can be used for sexual performance? In fact, if you read about what it does, it makes sense. Blueberries are high in soluble fiber, which helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood before it gets absorbed and deposited on artery walls.
Like Viagra, blueberries also relax the blood vessels to allow for better blood flow thus providing the libido the necessary blood to sustain an erection. I am not saying that you need to eat blueberries 30 minutes before having sex, but adding it to your diet 3 times per week can improve your sex life and put a smile on your partners face.
Viagra is expensive and cost on average $10 per pill. Blueberries cost around $6 per 12 ounces. Serving size is 1 cup or 2.5 servings per 12 ounces.
Blueberries are one of the easiest fruits to prepare and serve. There’s no peeling, pitting, coring or cutting.
Nutrition and miscellaneous facts
1 cup (143 grams) of blueberries is 84 calories (technically, kcal). Blueberries contain no cholesterol or fat and are also low in calories. Blueberries are high in dietary fiber, Vitamin A and niacin. They contain iron and other trace minerals and are a fair source of Vitamin C. Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients, with notably high levels (relative to respective Dietary Reference Intakes) of the essential dietary mineral manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber (table below). One serving provides a relatively low glycemic load score of 4 out of 100 per day.
Selection and Storing
Healthy, ripe blueberries are deep purple to dark blue, firm and plump. Unlike shiny raspberries, blueberries may have an almost chalky appearance to their blue skin. To store, refrigerate, unwashed, up to one week in a dry, covered container.
Healthy eating and better sex all from a blueberry!

Interesting. I’m a believer in the natural foods and consider them to be better than chemicals and drugs.

George,
I am sure there’s so much we don’t know about certain foods that have some kind of remedy.
