Did you know your thyroid is important for your overall health? This small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck produces hormones that help regulate your metabolism, heartbeat, body temperature, and more. 

Thyroid disorders appear to be linked to sexual problems in men, too, although scientists aren't certain why.  For example, some studies have shown that men with thyroid conditions are more likely to have erectile dysfunction (ED) than men without thyroid disorders.

In our latest blog post, we give an overview of the thyroid gland and two of the most common disorders: hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid).  We also go over some of the research on thyroid conditions and men's sexual health.

Men, do you like blueberries, strawberries, and citrus fruits? If you do, you might be in luck. Eating compounds called flavonoids, which are found in these foods, might decrease your risk for erectile dysfunction (ED). 

Flavonoids are antioxidants found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and beverages.  In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, men who ate a flavonoid-rich diet were less likely to have ED when compared to men who did not eat this diet.
