A Blow Below the Belt

Men worry about ED. Few of them know that this is a reflection of subpar circulation throughout the body. Why would only your hydraulics, highly dependant on good circulation, be the only spot affected? Sure, men think with that yonder region a little too much, but, let us take advantage of this healthy, and understandable preoccupation: if you want a healthy sex life, eat a plant-based diet. This includes women, who also depend on good circulation for intimacy.

Next time you are tempted by a highly sugary, and trans-fat meal, think about the effect it will have on your performance. So, do you like twinkies or sex better?

Erectile dysfunction linked to higher risk of heart disease

TIME (6/11, Park) reports that research published in Circulation suggests erectile dysfunction may be linked to a higher risk of heart disease. Investigators found that “among a group of 1,900 men aged 60 to 78, those with erectile dysfunction were twice as likely as men without the condition to have a heart attack, stroke, or die of a heart problem.” The New York Post (6/11, Gollayan) reports that Michael Blaha, a co-author of the study, said, “The onset of ED should prompt men to seek comprehensive cardiovascular risk evaluation from a preventive cardiologist.” HealthDay (6/11, Mozes) reports, “The link between impotence and heart disease appears to be ‘a two-way street,’ Blaha said, given that men who have had a heart attack appear to face a higher risk for ED.”
