Atherosclerosis and Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is often associated with atherosclerotic plaque buildup.
Impotence can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, about 5 percent of forty-year-old men and between 15 to 25 percent of sixty-five-year-old men experience erectile dysfunction.
In addition, when smoking is part of the picture, the odds of erectile dysfunction increase even further.
According to study results reported in 2003, male smokers had a 31-percent higher risk for erectile dysfunction when compared to nonsmokers.
However, just as hardening of the arteries is not inevitable with aging, neither is the loss of potency.
Maintaining health of the heart and circulatory system can also help to maintain this aspect of youthful vigor and vitality.
You Have the Power to Improve Your Health Whether you are young or old, male or female, you can improve your health and reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseases by consistently monitoring and managing your cholesterol levels.
While you cannot alter your heredity, you can make lifestyle changes that significantly lower risks, regardless of your genetic heritage.
Even if you already have coronary artery disease, you can reap benefits by managing your cholesterol levels.
Research evidence shows that decreasing your blood cholesterol levels can slow, stop, and even reverse plaque buildup over time.
As you lower your LDL cholesterol levels and increase your HDL levels, you can reduce the cholesterol content in the unstable plaque that has built up in the arterial walls.
Accordingly, you will reduce your future risks of having a heart attack.
Through effective cholesterol management, you can cut your risks of having a future heart attack and may even add valuable years to your life.
At the same time, beyond extending your longevity, improving your lifestyle habits can also enrich the quality of those additional years of living.
It is possible to become even healthier as you age; suffering years of disease, disability, and loss of vitality is not anyone's necessary fate.
Adopting healthy habits extends your youthfulness and enhances your feelings of well-being.
Cardiovascular diseases do not have to be such fearful killers.
You can make a difference to improve your odds and to get even more enjoyment out of life.
