A Good Reason to Exercise
I guess I should start exercising regularly. :-)
A new study offers an additional reason for men to exercise: It could add years to their sex lives.
Researchers hope men will learn from this, and exercise to protect their potency even if they haven’t exercised to protect their hearts.
Men over 50 who kept physically active had a 30 percent lower risk of impotence than men who were inactive, the study found.
As men aged, the odds rose that they would have erectile dysfunction. But physical activity seemed to slow the process.
Men who were physically active reported better erections, and the most physically active men did best. Men who were able to run at least 3 hours a week had a 30 percent lower risk of impotence than men who did little or no exercise. These men seemed to have the sexual ability of men two to five years younger than they were, Rimm said.
But Rimm said there was still a 15 to 20 percent reduction in the risk of erectile dysfunction among men who were able to do a brisk walk of 30 minutes most days of the week. This much activity is the minimum level that federal officials recommend for good health.
Rimm and other doctors hope men will worry about their penises even if they haven’t been worried about their hearts.
