Is This Bedroom Problem DEADLY?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of those problems that every guy dreads… but no guy wants to talk about.
Having trouble performing can be frustrating and even embarrassing.
But if you have ED, it should actually be the least of your concerns.
Because this bedroom problem can be a symptom of much larger health issues… ones that can turn deadly.
It might seem like ED is its own isolated problem. But we’ve been looking at it all wrong.
In reality, ED is one of the best indicators of a much more serious underlying problem: heart disease.
Studies in the past have suggested this association, but a recent study published in the journal Circulationis the strongest indication to date of the deadly connection.
The study tracked over 1,900 people between 60 and 78 years old for four years to investigate the connection between ED and cardiovascular disease.
The results showed that men with ED were TWICE as likely to have a cardiovascular event than men without.
This was true even for men with NO other known risk factors for heart disease—which means that ED could be the first warning sign of an otherwise silent condition.
And that means that instead of cursing your bad luck, you should be thanking your lucky stars that your body was smart enough to give you a warning sign of something that might have otherwise gone undetected.
And then take steps to do something about it.
By combatting your underlying heart disease risk factors, you’ll be getting a two-for-one.
You’ll address your “performance problems,” and help to ensure you’ll be around long enough to reap the benefits.
To a brighter day,
