ED is largely preventable and reversible, says a new study published in the Medical Journal of Australia recently.<\/p>\nED is largely preventable and reversible, says a new study published in the Medical Journal of Australia recently.<\/p>\n
Participants from all over the nation were studied to pinpoint the most severe risk factors for developing Erectile Dysfunction, and what researchers found was both frustrating and hopeful at the same time.<\/p>\n
The one factor we can\u2019t do anything about is, of course, age. The study revealed 11% increased odds of developing ED for every year after age 45. Men over 75 were at 86% risk of experiencing moderate or severe ED.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t mean you need to throw in the towel. Several lifestyle factors had a much higher connection to ED than age did. And that\u2019s something we can all tackle. Lets look at some:<\/p>\n
1)\tBeing overweight \u2013<\/strong> Obese men were three times more likely and slightly overweight men were twice as likely to suffer moderate or severe ED than men of healthy weight. This means that losing weight will pay off in the bedroom for sure.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re tired of diets and workouts that don\u2019t help for losing weight, check out this easy breezy approach that doesn\u2019t require any diet, workout, pills or supplements to lose weight\u2026<\/p>\n 2)\tSmoking \u2013<\/strong> as if we needed another reason to stop, men who smoked were at 86% higher risk of ED than non-smokers. Compared to that, ex-smokers had only a 25% increased risk. This shows it\u2019s never to late to quit.<\/p>\n 3)\tAlcohol consumption \u2013<\/strong> no, we\u2019re not asking you to stop completely. But men who consumed alcohol moderately (no binge drinking, for example) were at drastic reduction of ED compared to heavier drinkers. <\/p>\n The bottom line is that developing ED is far from being unavoidable as we age. In fact, living a healthy lifestyle will almost guarantee a healthy, happy life in the sack.<\/p>\n
