In this list, we will discuss foods to avoid with Viagra and what are those foods.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice negates the action of Viagra on our bodies. It’s belongs to a class of food that prevents the breakdown of the drug. Instead, it has a common trait it Viagra. It releases nitric oxide. Due to excessive nitric oxide, the blood vessels may get over-dilated and this could lead to a fatal drop in blood pressure.
This has an undesirable impact on increasing the side effects of the drug. These can be anything from the flushing of the skin, headaches, heart strokes, and even fainting.
Strict control should be kept on the intake of salty food. Excess salt in the body hampers the testosterone production along with increasing the blood pressure.
Sugar yeast and acids, which are the main component in these food products, are responsible for excess sugar in the blood. This leads to plaque formation in the arteries to various parts of the body, including the penis. Thus the clogging makes it difficult for blood to reach the penis.
Fast food often contains a high dose of Genetically Modified Organisms. These are mainly responsible for causing hormonal imbalance. A hormonal imbalance may lead to the inefficient redirection of blood towards the spongy tissues of the penis.
Canned vegetables are preserved in brine, which contains a high amount of sodium. Sodium is responsible for an increase in blood pressure and also lowering the testosterone production.
Eating a dinner consisting of several vegetables and then consuming Viagra will reduce the potency of the drug. Instead of getting an erection for 4 to 6 hours, you will only be able to sustain it for 1 to 3 hours at the most.
Alcohol and Viagra both have similar side-effects. Common ones are headaches, dizziness, and lowering of blood pressure. Alcohol with Viagra also accentuates the probability of heart palpitations, the arrhythmic beating of the heart, which poses a grave health risk.
Once again, as both ingredients will lower blood pressure, it is counterproductive to the goal of diverting more blood to the penis.
Carbonated drinks contain aspartame, a preservative along with tons of sugar. The preservative used, harms hormone production and also causes narrowing of blood vessels, consequently leading to higher blood pressure.
