In this current perspective we analyzed the role of Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) in sexual function and particularly in erectile dysfunction (ED), according to the latest scientific evidence.
We conducted a systematic search of relevant full-length papers identified during the time period from 1 January 2010 to the present.
Published studies showed that adherence to a MedDiet contributes to preventing ED through an improved lipid and glucose metabolism, increased antioxidant defenses, and increased arginine levels which could raise nitric oxide activity.
Our findings suggest that the encouragement of a healthy lifestyle, such as MedDiet promotion, could be an attractive dietary approach to prevent ED and preserve sexual function.
在本综述中，我们根据最新科学证据分析了地中海饮食（MedDiet）在性功能尤其是勃起功能障碍（ED）中的作用。
我们对2010年1月1日至目前期间检索到的相关全文论文进行了系统检索。
已发表的研究表明，坚持地中海饮食有助于通过改善脂质和葡萄糖代谢、增强抗氧化防御以及提高精氨酸水平（这可能会提高一氧化氮活性）来预防勃起功能障碍。
我们的研究结果表明，鼓励健康的生活方式，如推广地中海饮食，可能是预防勃起功能障碍和维持性功能的一种有吸引力的饮食方法。
