If the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease or other chronic illnesses isn't enough to make you eat better, then maybe it is.

Your sex life will be more enjoyable if you eat well.

According to authors of "Great Food, Great Sex," foods that can help maintain cardiovascular health can also improve sexual function, and even preserve it well into middle age, according to the authors of a new book,

Lynn EdlenNezin, a New York-based health psychologist and co-author of the book, says that plumbing is all connected. "Everything that insults your heart will also insult your sexual organs. And everything that is good for your heart will be good for your sexual function."

Simply put, adequate blood flow may be achieved by having healthy and well-fueled blood vessels.

This is not good news for millions of Americans with heart disease.

Edlen-Nezin, Robert Fried, and the "cardiosexual crisis" led them to create an eating plan that promotes sexual vitality and protects the heart.

Their plan is featured in their book. It emphasizes two principles of cardiovascular health: 1) The arteries must be clear of plaque that blocks blood flow throughout the body, including sex organs; and 2) Blood vessels require specific nutrients, nitrogen and an amino acid called Larginine, to produce the gas that improves blood circulation.

This first principle is well-established. The second principle is new. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funds a study that will determine if diet can cause nitric dioxide in the body.

Both principles are based on dietary rules you should be familiar with. Good. Lean meats: good. Whole grains are good. Antioxidants: good. Cholesterol, saturated fat: Bad.

The plan "The Great Food, Great Sex", identifies three key food factors.

-Greens, beans and legumes: These nitrogen-rich foods help to produce nitric dioxide in your blood vessels. This gas is crucial for sexual performance and pleasure.

-The Staminators : Foods high in L-arginine can also aid your body to produce nitric oxygen.

The Brights: Brightly colored foods, drinks and beverages with lots of antioxidants to counter the damage caused by free radicals.

Yes, food-and-sex transactions are chemically complex. It's as simple as this: If L-arginine and nitrogen are bank deposits, then nitric dioxide is the debit card that delivers goods.

When Nitric oxide is stimulated, it triggers a biological process that eventually leads to relaxed arteries in sex organs. These arteries can relax and dilate, which allows for sexual satisfaction and sexual performance.

But, alas. However, nitric oxide is only effective for a limited time, particularly in high blood pressure patients.

Here are the first two food ingredients and, yes, Viagra.

Other Pills:

The right foods contain the nutrients that the body requires to make nitric oxide. Viagra prolongs the effects of nitric oxygen.

Fried said, "It's just like the turtle and the rabbit." Viagra is faster, but that's not what matters. You can get there with nutrition, just like the turtle.

Antioxidants, the third food factor, promote sexual function by keeping arteries clear. Plaque buildup can block blood flow to the sex organs, just like it does to the coronary arteries.

Patients with both are often seen by cardiologists.

It doesn't matter if plaque builds up in the coronary arteries further south or further north, the consequences are the exact same, according to Brent Muhlestein (director of cardiovascular medicine at LDS Hospital).

He says that atherosclerosis blockage can occur in any artery, just as it does in other arteries. It won't function if it becomes blocked.

Antioxidants are used to combat the harmful effects of free radicals. These are the unintentional oxygen molecules that link with cholesterol to form sludge and damage arteries.

Do not set unrealistic expectations about your sexual behavior.

Even though it falls within the Great Sex Food Plan, a meal of Greek salad and chicken marsala won't make for a great night in bed.

Edlen-Nezin states, "This isn't a one-meal Viagra." "No one should be expecting that."

It will not cure all sexual dysfunctions, as there are many psychological and physiological causes.

It won't help with body-image issues that can hinder women's enjoyment of sex.

It will not correct hormonal deficiencies that reduce libido in post-menopausal or menopausal women. Research in testosterone replacement could be a promising area of research.

The food plan will not reverse the inevitable loss of stamina with aging.

Fried states, "No one is fool enough to claim that you have the same energy level when you are 70 as when you were 20."

It will keep your arteries clean and provide the nutrients they need for making nitric oxide.

Fried said, "We hope that this will reduce the misery that comes from not having access to things that you need in your life." "Sex is an essential one. It's even more important when it's absent.

Tips to incorporate 3 food elements into your diet

-Greens, beans, and other legumes: These foods are high in nitrogen which can help your body make nitric oxygen, a crucial molecule for adequate blood flow.

Asparagus, artichokes, legumes (pinto beans and red beans, lima bean, white beans, kidney beans, kidney beans), leafy leaves like bok choy collard greens, Swiss chard, spinach, cucumbers and peas

-Staminators : These foods are rich sources of nitric oxygen, including the amino acid Larginine.

Almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts are all good options. Fish such as tuna, catfish and flounder are also high in L-arginine, along with cod, cod, groupers, cod, snapper, and flounder.

Shellfish include shrimp, lobster, and crayfish.

The Brights: These foods contain high levels of antioxidants that help reduce damage from free radicals.

Bell peppers, beets, eggplants. leeks. sweet potatoes. tomatoes. berries.

The "Great Food, Great Sex” plan provides several tips to ensure you have enough of every food element.

Gradually increase the number of fresh fruits and veggies you eat until you have seven to ten servings per day. One serving is equal to one-half cup berries and one cup sweet potato, or one cup of cooked vegetables.

- At least two fish meals per week.

Try to eat legumes at least three times per week.

Enjoy a few roasted or raw nuts with a teaspoon of nut butter.

Cholesterol can be controlled by choosing lean meats, limiting your intake of cheese and eggs yolks.

Use olive oil and grapeseed oil in cooking, seasoning, and for salad dressings.

Enjoy a glass red wine or grape juice along with your meal.

Stock up on colorful fruits, vegetables and dried beans to spice up your kitchen.

- Use whole-grain breads, cereals, and rice.
