Some fat is good. The body needs it to take up vitamins and nutrients from food, and function normally.
But if you eat too much, the body can’t use it, and then this gets stored.
Saturated fat can raise cholesterol, and this can clog up the arteries, and in turn cause problems with blood flow to the penis.
This is the kind of fat you get in butter, fatty meat and cheese. So you’ll often see that foods like biscuits, cakes, pastries and pies, and ice cream will contain it.
Men should stick to less than 30 grams of saturated a day. Unsaturated fat is a healthier type of ffat. If you make switches to foods with unsaturated instead of saturated fats, this can help to lower cholesterol.
Foods that contain unsaturated fats are nuts, avocados, fish and olive oil.
