A study conducted by the
Boston University School of Medicine in the United States
showed that what’s good for your heart may also be good for
your sex life. Researchers found that regular, moderate
exercise may prevent impotence.
The 9-year study, published in the August 2000 issue of
Urology, reported that men who burned at least 200
calories a day through exercise were less likely than inactive
men to become impotent.
The researchers focused on lifestyle factors believed to
contribute to impotence — smoking, heavy drinking, inactivity
and obesity. It was found that men who had been active before
the study, and those who began exercise during the study,
reduced their risk of impotence.
According to the study, exercise may ward off impotence the
same way it can prevent heart attacks. Both impotence and
heart disease involve poor blood flow to the penis, and
exercise keeps blood vessels clear. Impotence can be an early
warning sign of heart disease since the penis is more
sensitive to decreased blood flow than the heart is. |
