Losing those “love handles” can do a lot for your love life

We’ve all seen those ads for drugs for ED or “erectile dysfunction” more times than we can count. But a new study from Down Under has shown that a few basic lifestyle changes might work just as well without risking those nasty side effects.

That’s what Aussie researchers found when they tracked over 800 men from 35 to 80 years old. During a five-year period, nearly a third of them developed some form of the condition.

“The good news is, our study also found that a large proportion of men were naturally overcoming erectile dysfunction issues,” said Professor Gary Witter of the University of Adelaide, where the study was done.

That means some things can be done to reverse the causes without drugs. Things like losing weight, eating better, exercising more, and getting a better night’s sleep.

Doing these things, said the study’s lead author, might not only help preserve your passion, but improve your heart health and reduce the risk of diabetes.

So before going for that Viagra Rx, you might try going to bed earlier, ditching the pizza in front of the TV for a real dinner and slimming down those “love handles.”

That may do a lot more for your love life than risking “sudden decrease or loss” of vision and hearing.
