Here are all the instructions and ingredients you’ll need to do it.Make it: “Cheesy” You can make a satisfying, unctuous sauce that’s a decent replacement for cheddar using an old hippie method, pairing fat from nuts; smoothness (and color) from squash; and umami from miso, yeast, and paprika.

      26 Foods That Boost Penis Blood Flow and Sexual Health

      by

      The health of your penis is obviously key for sex positions. However, focusing on your sexual health overall is most important, as erectile dysfunction, low libido (sex drive), and infertility can negatively impact your mental health and relationship—not just with your partner but yourself. While there are supplements that increase sex drive, sex toys like prostate massagers that help circulation, penis pumps that can help you get it up, and cock rings that can prolong or enhance erections, varying your diet to include the best foods to increase blood flow to the penis naturally goes a long way. We spoke with seven nutrition experts about the best foods to increase blood flow to the penis, enhancing sexual health and performance. There’s nothing revolutionary; no magic food groups. What follows is a list of foods high in protein to aid muscle repair; vegetables loaded with nutrients that increase the production of sex hormones; healthy fats that support cardiovascular health essential for erectile function; antioxidants that enhance blood flow and reduce inflammation, ultimately improving sexual function and libido in men; and more. Before we dive in, quick PSA: If you’re wondering if you can make your penis bigger, it’s not possible. However, if you’re overweight or obese and lose weight, your penis size can appear bigger since you’ll lose excess fat around your abdomen and pubic area. Bottom line: Penis enlargement foods are a myth. And while there are foods that help with erectile dysfunction, there are no foods that help increase penis size.Best Foods to Increase Blood Flow to the Penis Naturally, According to ExpertsIn addition to tasting great and being versatile, these foods carry a boatload of vitamins and other naturally occurring compounds that, according to experts and science, are proven to enhance sexual health on a number of levels.

      An Avocado a Day Might Be the Tastiest Way to Boost Your Gut Health

      by

      You’ll never mistake them for Tums, but if you’re looking to settle your gut, you might give avocados a try, according to research published in The Journal of Nutrition. In a study of 163 people, those who ate an avocado a day for 12 weeks developed a more robust and diverse gut “microbiome”—a buzzy term for the bacteria in your stomach and colon that impacts everything from better mood to a stronger immune system.

      It turns out the bacteria like to feast on the type of fiber found in avocados, helping to soothe your stomach and aid digestion after a meal.
      Try incorporating avocado in breakfast (in an omelet), lunch (with a salad) or dinner (atop a burrito bowl). You don’t have to adjust your daily meal plan other than that to boost your gut health.

      What Happens When You Go Vegan for Two Weeks

      by

      After going vegan for two weeks (the way of no flesh), here are the most important things our reporter learned.Ironman champion John Joseph. Boxer Cam Awesome. NFL running back Arian Foster. UFC fighters Nick and Nate Diaz. These are all: a) world-class athletes; b) people who could kick my butt; c) athletes who’ve gone vegan. Answer: all of the above. There’s even a growing community of bodybuilders who swear by the vegan lifestyle. So what’s it really like? A lifelong carnivore, I eat meat nearly every day. But whether or not you agree with the vegan code of honor—which is, basically: “Don’t kill animals to make your dinner”—you still have to respect people who back their words with action. With that in mind I went vegan for two weeks. Here are the eight most important things I learned.Jeff Wilser is the author of Alexander Hamilton’s Guide to Life. “Vegan” Doesn’t Always Mean “Healthy” More
