I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

A new study shows that obesity has a significant impact on male sexual health.
A new study suggests that obesity may have a significant impact on male sexual health. The study was conducted on 2,435 Italian male patients who were seeking outpatient treatment for sexual dysfunction between the years 2001 and 2007. The average age of the patients was 52. Among them, 4% were severely obese, 12.1% were obese, 42.4% were overweight, and 41.5% were normal weight.
Lab blood tests and penile Doppler ultrasounds (to measure penile blood flow) were performed on the patients. They were also interviewed about their erectile dysfunction and completed a mental health questionnaire.
Results showed that testosterone level was inversely correlated with the degree of obesity. That is, the more severe the obesity, the lower the level of testosterone. Also, obesity-related conditions, especially hypertension, were the most significant causes of obesity-related erectile dysfunction. Hypertension was linked to abnormal penile blood flow as well.
It appears that sexual dysfunction from obesity is a physical issue, not a self-esteem or emotional problem.

My Views
Exercise, in addition to its cardiovascular benefits, also increases the level of hormones in the body, which includes growth hormone, testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone. Performing strength-training exercise is a key component to an anti-aging exercise program because of the above-mentioned effects. Without a doubt, exercise is the closest thing to the anti-aging magic bullet as one can get. Those who exercise regularly live longer as well. Bottom line - exercise enhances sexual function.
