A workhorse that embitters men, at increasingly younger ages, the fear of erectile dysfunction begins to no longer understand age. Yes, it is true that, as you age, andropause and testosterone production decrease. With it, the libido begins to flee and the erections also lose vigor.
Not only that. This also occurs loss of sexual desire and what used to look in perfect magazine condition begins to fade with age. An uncontrollable fact for which, for years, there have been medical treatments that alleviate it. Among the most common names of allies once morest erectile dysfunction are the famous Viagra and the no less famous Cialis.
Although we have bought the commercial terminology of these medications, reality also involves understanding what lies beyond—and that we are interested in their active ingredients. However, Erectile dysfunction can not only be combated with pharmacotherapy (which has been proven to work). Also from our lifestyle habits.
As always, our body insists on following a circle. Whether it is vicious—understood as bad—or virtuous—understood as good, not chaste—is a matter of how we adapt our customs. Eat, sleep, play sports, have an adequate social life, low stress levels… Everything, absolutely everything, has an impact on sexual health and erectile dysfunction.

There have been several times that we have talked regarding erectile dysfunction in THE OBJECTIVE. However, it is important to be clear regarding what it is and what it is not. From MSD Manuals They insist on describing it as the inability to maintain a satisfactory erection for a sexual relationship. What was previously known as sexual impotence has now been translated as erectile dysfunction.
This means that we have to leave other realities such as premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation out of the equation. Two problems also of male sexual health which, however, suffer from other symptoms that do not enter into dispute with the fact of achieving an erection or not.
As is usual in most cases, Erectile dysfunction is usually secondary (occurred in men who previously achieved an erection). There is a minimal part, which is the primary and targets people who have never achieved it.
In this way, it is logical to think that most remedies and treatments point to the example of the secondary ones. The truth, as also happens, is that it is a concatenation of factors. Age has an influence and, especially, a good part of the pathologies that develop with it.
There are vascular causes that affect the erection, in addition to habits such as smoking, and other diseases such as diabetes. Obesity and overweight also affect. Likewise, other pathologies or complications of certain surgeries, in addition to neurological causes, would have an impact on erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction and physical exercise: natural Viagra

And study published in the specialized magazine The Journal of Sexual Medicine would support that physical exercise might improve erectile function in men. Something that is not difficult to think regarding, obviously. Physical fitness is closely linked to testosterone production and also a lower percentage of body fat. This percentage, furthermore, is also related to this decrease in testosterone.
Again, as we warned before, this vicious or virtuous circle appears, depending on how we approach it. What the study has achieved is to make a scientific review of 11 previous studies, many of them with middle-aged and overweight subjects. After categorizing the comparison, they verified that aerobic physical exercise performed regularly improved sexual performance.
The news also leaves another note: the improvement was more pronounced in people who had initial International Index of Erectile Function scores (IIEF for its acronym in English). On the other hand, those people who already played sports or whose initial scores were higher, did not see as much improvement. Also, those men who had a much more pronounced erectile dysfunction also found that with the incorporation of physical exercise they improved significantly.
Also and as is equally logical, the study remembers that maintain intense weekly physical activity —at least three hours of exercise or 1.5 hours of running—had a 20% lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Quite the opposite of what happens with people with sedentary habits.
