Impotent Men Are at High Risk for Heart Attacks

A review of 12 studies on men who are unable to sustain an
erection shows that impotence almost doubles a man’s chances of
suffering a heart attack, stroke, and premature death (Journal of
the American College of Cardiology, September, 2011).
Treating risk factors for heart attacks with lifestyle
changes and/or medication helps to prevent heart attacks and
improves impotence (Archives of Internal Medicine, September 12,
2011).  More than 50 percent of North American men over 40 are
impotent (JAMA, May 26, 1999).
GET A MEDICAL WORK UP FOR IMPOTENCE: Check your male
hormone, testosterone, and all risk factors for heart attacks.
All conditions and behaviors that damage blood vessels can cause
impotence: *diabetes, *depression, *stomach ulcers,
*high cholesterol, *atherosclerosis, *high blood pressure, *nerve
damage, *cigarette smoking, *taking more than two alcoholic
drinks a day, and so forth.
DRUGS THAT CAN CAUSE IMPOTENCE: diuretics, blood pressure
medications, non steroidals (naproxin), ulcer medications
(cimetidine, omeprazole, metoclopramide,  antidepressants
(lithium, SSRIs), recreational drugs (marijuana, cocaine,
heroin), and so forth.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT PREVENT AND TREAT IMPOTENCE:
*Do not smoke or take more than 2 drinks a day
*Avoid red meat, sugared drinks and foods with added sugars
*Eat large amounts of fruits and vegetables
*Exercise (caution: men with impotence are at increased risk for
heart attacks during exercise)
*avoid overweight,
*get enough vitamin D (D3 blood level above 75 nmol/L).
