BlueberriesForget Viagra. Mother Nature's original blue potency capsule may do even more for you. Blueberries are one of the best foods for older men with erectile problems. 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.
They're also packed with compounds that help relax your blood vessels, improving circulation. The benefit of lower cholesterol and better blood flow? More blood to the penis and stronger erections as you grow older.
For maximum potency and performance, it is recommended to eat a serving of blueberries (fresh or blended into a drink) at least three or four times a week.

PeachOranges get the good press as a vitamin C source, but frozen peaches are the keener choice.
Rearchers found that men who consumed at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day had higher sperm counts than men who took in less. Vitamin C also keeps your sperm from clumping, so your boys have a better chance of reaching her egg.
Keep a bag of frozen peach slices -- they have more C than fresh ones do -- in your freezer to dump in smoothies or add to your morning cereal. A single cup of the fruit has more than twice your daily vitamin C requirement.

Breakfast CerealToo tired for sex? Check the label on your morning cereal and make sure you're eating a brand loaded with THIAMIN and RIBOFLAVIN. Both vitamins help you use energy efficiently, so you'll stop falling asleep in the recliner while watching "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Thiamin and riboflavin are also vital for the nervous system to function properly. Better nerve function translates into more stimulation and pleasure during sex. As you get older, your body has a harder time absorbing the vitamins that keep your nervous system operating at its peak, so you often need to increase your intake through food or supplements.
Fortified breads and cereals are also high in NIACIN, a vitamin that's essential for the secretion of histamine - a chemical your body needs in order to trigger explosive sneezes and orgasms.

ChilliA spicy meal can spice up your date. The effects of consuming capsaicin – the chemical that gives chilli its heat – mirror the signs of arousal (sweating, tingles, rapid heart rate, flushed cheeks). And people tend to credit their date with evoking those spine-tingling feelings.
Just remember to rinse out your mouth out after a chilli fest – capsaicin doesn't feel quite so sexy on sensitive skin, if you catch our drift.

TrufflesIt's no wonder people pay good money for these fungi – their musky scent, created by a substance called alpha-androstetenol, mimics the smell of pheromones, the hormones that spark off physical attraction.
But they are expensive. Very expensive. They cost around $2500 per kilo. And a good oil will cost you around $1000 per litre. So only splash it in pasta for someone you really, really like.
