Blueberry: Is It A Natural Substitute For Viagra ?

Blueberry is a beneficial fruit and is considered a “super sexual” food for men because they function a bit like Viagra, according to some experts. Therefore research (which is not versatile and conclusive thus far) backing the fact is for sure a major point of interest.

If blueberry were to replace Viagra, imagine the benefits — Negligible side effects, and more importantly way cheaper than Viagra. Viagra is expensive and costs on an average $10 per pill, on the other hand, Blueberries would roughly cost you around $6 per 12 ounces. Serving size is 1 cup or 2.5 servings per 12 ounces. But the major query here is, to what extent will blueberries help people  with erectile problems

Does Blueberry Actually Work As A Substitute For Viagra?

Mary Ellen Camire, Ph.D., a professor of food science at the University of Maine reportedly said, “Blueberries are one of the best foods for older men with erectile problems.” She concisely explains that they’re loaded with soluble fiber, which helps push excess cholesterol through your digestive system before it can be broken down, absorbed, and deposited along the walls of your arteries and like Viagra, blueberries also relax the blood vessels to allow for better blood flow (circulation) thus providing the libido and the necessary blood flow to sustain an erection. In layman’s word, more blood to the penis means stronger erections
