A new study published in this month's Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that erectile dysfunction (ED) is often an early indicator of poor cardiovascular health. Researchers followed more than 2,300 men for an average of four years and found that men with ED had a 58 percent greater risk of coronary heart disease.
The fact is, the very same habits that predispose a man (or a woman) to health problems, such as too little exercise, a poor diet, smoking and other lifestyle choices, also take a toll on sexual function. This study suggest that problems in the bedroom may be an important warning sign to shape up--if not for your sex life, then for your quality of life.
