			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alcohol abuse and drugs adversely affect the quality and quantity of sperm, reduce testosterone production and has contributed to erectile dysfunction. Drug abuse would reduce the density and the ability of sperm movement and increase the number of abnormal sperm. Moreover, it can lead to erectile dysfunction and loss of libido.</p>
<p>Healthy living, adequate rest and minimize stress. Eat healthy foods and regular diet and adequate rest can minimize stress and will help the production of hormones that affect the development of sperm and testosterone production in the testes.</p>
<p>Avoid toxic materials. Avoid contact with toxic chemicals and avoid inhaling the smell of chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, paint, wood varnish, glue, and heavy metals. Consult with your doctor, any prescription drug that should be taken. Some prescription drugs for the treatment of a disease have the effect of slowing the production of sperm. Consult a physician before receiving a prescription drug. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy can cause temporary or permanent infertility. If you have to undergo this procedure, consult your doctor for the best solution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is full of people who make excuses for themselves when their commitment is weak. Sadly, when many people who could do better find the going tough, they suddenly find they have other urgent things to do or they have injuries that require them to rest. The reality is that people who are physically disabled and confined to a wheel chair can and do exercise those parts of their bodies that will move. Indeed, this is necessary to maintain some degree of muscle tone and general health. For those adult people who have normal mobility, there are few real excuses. Magnifying ordinary stiffness following exercise into an injury simply confirms demotivation. Stiffness can be relieved by stretching. If there are some real mobility problems, people can exercise effectively while sitting in a chair (if necessary, while watching television). Similarly, many claim they cannot free enough time to exercise. There can be some truth in this. People may have long commutes and the work may require them to sit with little opportunity to move around. Once home, there are family commitments and necessary work around the home that make it inconvenient to go out to a gym or sports center. That said, there are simple exercise routines that can be done in the home. All it takes is the will and fifteen minutes a day.</p>
<p>So that gets the tough talking out of the way. If there are genuine reasons why exercise is physically impossible, what should you do? This immediately brings you back to the question of diet. All weight loss depends on you burning more calories than you consume. Some people use exercise as a form of cheating. When they want to continue eating some unhealthy food, they exercise. Even if they do not lose significant amounts of weight, this can keep their weight stable. Anything is better than continuing weight gain. But if you cannot exercise, you no longer have any excuse on the diet front. To lose weight, you must start counting the calories and aim for a net-loss diet with a high-fibre content. Read up on nutrition and start applying that knowledge to shed the pounds.</p>
<p>There are general health issues to consider. If your life is stressful because of work or family commitments or both, you should take time to relax. This means getting enough sleep. It&#8217;s easier to stay motivated if you are well-rested. Losing weight is all about making yourself important. There comes a point when the sacrifices you make for others have to end and you take a little time for yourself. This is for your benefit. In short bursts, you should also consider taking <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/articles/combination-of-diet-and-exercise.html">phentermine</a>. This has been on the market for fifty years and has demonstrated a good track record of safety. <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/">Phentermine</a> is an appetite suppressant. The idea is simple. If you feel less hungry, you eat less. This makes it easier for you to maintain the diet and lose those pounds. But do not fall into the trap of taking it for too long. Weight loss does not come out of a bottle. It requires you to make the commitment and hold to it. Only then will the loss be real and last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are two conflicting sayings, &#8220;Nothing in life is free&#8221; and &#8220;The best things in life are free&#8221;. Truth can be only one, isn&#8217;t it? More often than not, there is a price tag attached to the choices you make, but not all prices have to be paid in money. For example, you can find joy in a relationship, the emotional capacity for love coming as a free gift when you get the body. This is not to deny there may be costs to love, but a successful relationship is priceless. However, to keep a relationship stable and successful usually requires a reasonably consistent level of sexual performance. Adult couples expect to be able to enjoy their time together in bed. Erectile dysfunction threatens this happiness and so requires treatment. Modern science has provided pills to be taken but this can overlook the reasons for the erectile dysfunction.</p>
<p>There are many things that have very dramatic effects. As people grow up, they are surrounded by role models and, to fit in, they often copy what they see others doing. This is wonderful if everyone around children eats healthy food in small portions. But the reality is that most people eat junk food in excessive portions. Adults who carry excessive weight are more likely to contract type 2 diabetes. This causes damage to the nervous system and usually causes erectile dysfunction. Obesity is also linked with high blood pressure and heart disease so sexual activity may become physically difficult if not dangerous. Those who are overweight may also not be considered attractive. This can make it challenging to find partners. How much food you eat is a choice. The decision to eat less can be made. You can also make a commitment to exercise. Why does all this matter?</p>
<p>A recent piece of informal research found there is a link between cities with cooking styles using large quantities of fat and the number of prescriptions written for <a href="http://www.levitraguidance.com/a">levitra</a> and the other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. In northern cities which have active campaigns to force restaurants to abandon the use of trans fats and to put calorie counts on the menus, few prescriptions are written. If older people find sex more difficult, <a href="http://www.levitraguidance.com/">levitra</a> is available to ensure those over sixty can carry on enjoying life to the full. Indeed, men over seventy in clinical trials have a more than satisfactory experience using cialis. The moral is clear. Those who make good lifestyle decisions get happiness &#8211; something that comes free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christmas is all about the year just past. You look around, gather in your family and friends, and celebrate the strength of your friendships by giving and receiving presents. Then comes New Year and, in a gesture to taking some responsibility for what happens in the next twelve months, people traditionally make resolutions. Most commonly, these are to diet and exercise to lose weight and, if you have not already done so, to quit smoking. For the majority, these best intentions last all of twenty-four hours before being forgotten. Yet, this year, there are good reasons for taking New Year&#8217;s resolutions a little more seriously. As you will have noticed, there&#8217;s a recession. People are losing their jobs and homes. Debts are being caught up in credit crunching and the cost of health care is going ballistic. So, losing weight is good because, if you shed 10% of your body weight, this reduces the chances of you getting type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Why should this matter? Have you seen the cost of the medications you would need to keep reasonably healthy if you are diagnosed with diabetes or your heart starts giving you trouble? It&#8217;s better to stay healthy by losing weight and save your bank account from being hit with co-payments. And, if you are still smoking, quitting now can reduce the risk of cancers later in life. Fear of pain should encourage you to quit now.</p>
<p>But since we are talking about your health, there are other things to consider. Since jobs are at risk, now is the time to think about what would happen to your health plans if unemployment comes. Could you afford to pay for the COBRA cover? The reason for asking is that a recent survey found most families could not. So, if you cannot start a savings plan to provide enough cash, what would you do? Well, now is the time to do some research. There are a number of private medical plans available. Spending time online can identify some good cover at affordable prices. One of the starting points is the company currently supplying auto or home insurance. If you bundle policies together, you can get reasonable discounts for personalized solutions. You should also talk with local agents. Although they are driven by the commission, you can often get good ideas about how to save money with higher deductibles and more limited coverage. Then it&#8217;s for you to decide, making plans with a clear head now rather than when under pressure when the job is lost.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.getaffordablehealthinsurance.net/resolutions.html">Health insurance</a> is not something you should leave to the last minute. Planning now saves time and money later on. Although insurance companies can change the detail of their policies, what you research and agree now will stand up for months to come. be recession-proof, stay ahead of the game and keep your family safe. Indeed, <a href="http://www.getaffordablehealthinsurance.net/">health insurance</a> should be the one New Year&#8217;s resolution you make and keep the longest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has always been dangerous to work in mines. The roof may fall in and there are risks of flooding and explosion. Over the years, miners found that keeping canaries in the mines was a good early warning system. The birds were likely to die if there was a gas build up and this gave the men time to leave before there was an explosion. In every aspect of life, early warning systems are the key to survival. The more warning there is, the greater the number of people who can be saved. So it is with sexual health. Problems can be the first sign of more serious diseases or disorders. In women, a loss of libido can be a symptom of thyroid disease. Erectile dysfunction can be a symptom of cardiovascular disease.</p>
<p>If you watch movies or TV series, it&#8217;s unusual for the scripts to deal with relationships in trouble because of sexual difficulties. The mainstream media has the same problem as most people. Everyone finds it embarrassing and humiliating to talk publicly about sexual failure. Indeed, the improvement in treatments has made it more difficult. When men can buy pills over the internet without a prescription, no-one need know there were failures in the bedroom. Reputations must be maintained. As to women, most would like treatment but find many doctors patronizing and dismissive. Their problems remain hidden. Yet this desire for privacy from both genders is unwise. There is clear research evidence that people who regularly engage in satisfying sex live longer, cope well with stress, have a better immune system and enjoy a better quality of life. Getting treatment is the better option no matter embarrassing it may be to ask for help.</p>
<p>The cause of erectile dysfunction is easy to state. The arteries feeding blood into the penis fail to dilate. These arteries are one-quarter the diameter of the coronary arteries. If the small arteries are in trouble, the larger arteries may follow suit in about four to five years time. At this point, there is an irony. <a href="http://www.36hour-strong.com/articles/canaries-in-the-mines.html">Cialis</a> and the other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction dilate the arteries and are also approved by the FDA for the treatment of poor artery performance in the chest. Innocently taking these drugs will delay the onset of high blood pressure and heart disease, but it will not prevent it. The arrival of erectile dysfunction is your canary in the mine. All doctors have received an advisory note that anyone over the age of 40 years coming in for a consult should be treated as a heart patient until there is evidence to the contrary. There are a good range of treatments to reverse the build up of plaque in the arteries. They start with a healthy diet and physical exercise, and then move into the drug cabinet. It is common sense to have a full physical check up if you have erectile dysfunction. Taking early action to avoid heart disease is worth it in the long term. In the short term, you can <a href="http://www.36hour-strong.com/">buy cialis</a> as a treatment for the erectile dysfunction. That will keep things going in the bedroom while the rest of your body recovers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time travel always sounds quite an exciting prospect for everyone especially for scientists. If they could step into a TARDIS, they could go and observe or, if they wanted to risk prompting changes, they could ask the people involved what they were thinking. This is where all the excitement comes because the risk of changing the past and creating paradoxes is entertaining, even if only for those interested in science fiction. Since there is no practical system for time travel, the researchers step forward with what they can dig up from old records. Now everyone gets into the game of interpreting the evidence to meet their expectations. When it comes to the history of sex, the interpretations grow further apart as each new author has their own agenda, e.g. to compare Michel Foucault with Germaine Greer with Pope Paul VI. So, looking at this history shows us centuries of various religions moralizing and philosophers theorizing about what it was for but, until recently, no serious interest from the medical profession. No-one had dared to study it by applying the scientific method to collect detailed evidence.</p>
<p>One of the problems was that, if you asked people about sex, they were embarrassed and tended to refuse answers. There were also professional difficulties for those who proposed to study sexuality. Such research was thought to betray unhealthy and prurient interests. Then along came William Masters and Virginia Johnson in St Louis. Not caring what the &#8220;establishment&#8221; thought, they invited people into their laboratory and began to monitor exactly what was happening in their bodies during arousal. As their research was published, it swept away the mythology and the embarrassment, finally allowing people to understand what was happening to their bodies.</p>
<p>Through this open door, a small army of modern researchers has entered and, with medical experts able to devise drugs like <a href="hhttp://www.36hour-strong.com/taking-cialis.html">cialis</a> to restore sexual function, the question is now being asked, &#8220;Have we gone too far?&#8221; Medicine has reduced complex desires and emotions to biology. If there is a problem, all you have to do is take a pill or have cosmetic surgery, and all will be well again. Except life is not always so simple and convenient. Science gives people the wrong expectations. Doctors cannot solve every problem. Worse, there are new myths about what the sexual norms have become. Although it&#8217;s true that <a href="http://www.36hour-strong.com/">cialis</a> allows sexual responsiveness for thirty-six hours, people have to eat and sleep. Even with the very best of the drugs inside you, you still get tired. So, it&#8217;s a balancing act. Without Masters and Johnson, people would have remained largely ignorant on all issues of sex and sexuality. The resulting development of cialis has improved the quality of life for millions of men. Yet everywhere you look now, you see sex and many now use erectile dysfunction drugs for recreational not medical purposes. People should not lose sight of how relationships work. Medicine has a role to play but people should be more interested in the needs of their partners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US Court of Appeals in Washington unanimously found that the leading tobacco companies were guilty of fraud because of the way they&#8217;ve chosen to advertise their brands of cigarettes. For too long, consumers have been seeing the magic words, &#8220;low tar&#8221;, &#8220;mild&#8221; or &#8220;light&#8221; on the packaging and exterior ads. This suggests that these cigarettes are somehow safer than &#8220;ordinary&#8221; cigarettes. In reality, all versions are equally dangerous because the nicotine is not only addictive, but also causes cancers and other potentially terminal diseases. To make the fraud more serious, the manufacturers privately agreed among themselves not to compare the safety of the different brands. They even agreed to lie about the dangers of second-hand smoke even though passive smoking is recognized as equally dangerous in other countries. You may ask why this is relevant to an article on erectile dysfunction. The answer is that one of the less well known effects of nicotine is to constrict the arteries. No matter how fit and healthy the smoker, every cigarette raises the blood pressure because the heart must work harder to keep the blood circulating.</p>
<p>If the arteries leading into the penis will not dilate properly, there will be no erection. Simple fact, isn&#8217;t it? Smokers are significantly more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than non-smokers. But there is a further issue. The arteries in the penis are only a fraction the size of the arteries that pass through the lungs to the heart. The damage to the blood vessels that first appears as erectile dysfunction can turn into angina and heart disease as time passes. Arteries are arteries no matter which part of the body they pass through. So if the muscle walls are hardening in one part, this will spread to other parts. Indeed, research shows that smokers are more likely to have heart diseases. All doctors were sent a medical advisory in 2006 which instructed them to deal with all men reporting erectile dysfunction as actual heart patients until the contrary is proved. This is a vital first warning symptom and a quick intervention with a change of lifestyle and treatment can restore health to the blood vessels and relieve the problem of erectile dysfunction. So the moral of this story is to get your doctor to check you out before you <a href="http://www.levitraguidance.com/where-to-buy.html">buy levitra</a> or something else. Self-treatment in this instance is not a wise move.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.levitraguidance.com/">Levitra</a> is not only approved as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. The FDA has also approved its use as a treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, i.e. to reduce the blood pressure in the arteries passing through the lungs by dilating the arterial walls. But here comes the problem. Once the arteries start to harden, they will continue to do so unless you quit smoking. The first symptom is loss of sexual function. Then come all the heart diseases you know. If you quit smoking early enough, start to eat a healthy diet and exercise, the arteries will return to normal, your sex life will be great and you will enjoy a healthy old age. But nicotine is an addictive substance. It&#8217;s hard to quit. This leaves the middle course. Those who cannot quit use levitra. This restores sexual function in most men for a reasonable number of years and delays the onset of heart disease. But this is only a delay and it forgets the other problem. If you are still smoking, the cancer may get you before the heart disease. So the best, all-round advice is to quit smoking &#8211; ignoring all misleading labelling and marketing that some cigarettes are safer than others. No matter what it takes, give it up and enjoy a good quality of life including sexual activity into retirement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the easiest thing in the world to say that the way you live your life affects the quality of your life. All kinds of judgements come into play. There can be unkind comments about couch potatoes who endlessly eat junk food and never exercise. There can be medical commentaries about health risks. Some stories about people can be inspiring, others depressing. There are as many approaches to this issue as there are articles to write. Yet, there are some facts that cannot be denied. All the people who are overweight have an increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Smokers have an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Worse, many people who have unhealthy lifestyles are seriously penalized as victims of discrimination &#8211; work opportunities are more limited, life insurance premiums are significantly higher, and so on. Yet there are no remedies for this discrimination because having an unhealthy lifestyle is not a disability like losing a leg in an accident. It&#8217;s a choice people make.</p>
<p>Ignoring the physical difficulties of sexual intimacy when the partners are significantly overweight, those who run into diabetes or heart disease will find all sexual activity restricted. Add in the effects of smoking and the risk to sexual function rises dramatically. A recent non-scientific survey into sexual health looked at the relationship between lifestyle and erectile dysfunction. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collect information about the rates of obesity, diabetes and smoking across the US. All these correlate to erectile dysfunction. The research team then examined data about exercise habits, discovered how many urologists were employed by hospitals in each city, and collected the data on the number of prescriptions written for erectile dysfunction drugs.</p>
<p>The results confirm that more prescriptions are written in southern cities where the rates of obesity are higher and people exercise less. In fact, Tulsa in Oklahoma came out as the least healthy city with the highest rate of prescriptions written. Northern cities like Boston and New York which have active campaigns to promote healthy eating, e.g. to ban the use of trans fat in all cooked food outlets, and extensive bans on smoking in public places, have the lowest rates of prescriptions written. The study is unscientific because not all prescriptions written are ever converted into drugs, and many people use the internet to buy <a href="http://www.36hour-strong.com/articles/lifestyle-and-sex.html">cialis</a> and the other erectile dysfunction drugs without a prescription. Nevertheless, the results are interesting and match common sense expectations. The message is clear. Both generally and in relation to sexual health, men improve their performance if they lose weight, quit smoking and start exercising on a regular basis. The risk of serious diseases reduces as weight falls and nicotine clears from the system. But if people ignore the risks, continue smoking and eat too much, they are likely to find themselves using <a href="http://www.36hour-strong.com/">cialis</a> at a young age and losing their sexual potency in their middle age. It&#8217;s hard to understand why anyone would make the deliberate choice to risk disease and lose sex.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best approach to losing weight is to combine a healthy diet with an exercise routine. Although some weight will be lost if you hold to a calorie-reduced diet, more weight is lost if stored calories are burned by exercise. In the end, it all comes down to burning more calories than you consume. With exercise, the process goes more quickly. This leaves the question of what exercise is best. The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is that there is no &#8220;best&#8221; exercise. In fact, the research shows that repeating the same activity produces boredom and makes it more difficult to keep up the motivation. The aim in deciding what to add to the mix is up to you, but the end-product should be enjoyment.</p>
<p>You need to approach exercise with an open mind and be prepared to try new things. But before you start, you should have yourself checked out by a doctor. If you have been leading a quiet life with nothing more than walking around your home and workplace, your body is not ready for sudden exertion. If you are older rather than younger, there is always the possibility you may have heart problems or other disorders. A doctor is in the best position to judge how much exercise you can tolerate and how quickly you can build up to something reasonably strenuous. Keeping this real, you may not have health insurance that covers a consult with a doctor for these purposes.</p>
<p>Once you get through the first few weeks of gentle workouts and your muscles have started to tone, you should begin trying different types of exercise. As a final thought, you are likely to feel more hungry as you burn fat. That is the way your body is designed to react. You will probably find it useful to add <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/">phentermine</a> into the mix during the early stages to suppress your appetite and keep your motivation going. Time is the key element in this. The longer you exercise, the more pleasurable it becomes. Alongside this, your body also adjusts to eating less food. In fact, your stomach will slowly contract as your diet progresses. By using <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/phentermine-diet-exercise.html">phentermine</a> in short bursts to control your appetite, you should find a variety of exercises sheds the pounds, makes the experience fun and gives you a better quality of life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leaving aside all the issues about what food is healthy and how it should be cooked, the first and most important step everyone has to take if they are to lose weight is to eat less. Go into any fast food outlet or restaurant and the standard portion that arrives is more than 50% larger than the equivalent portion you will receive in Europe. As a result, the US has a significantly worse problem with obesity than any other country. The rule is that you are what you eat and, if you eat too much, you end up overweight. So your strategy has to be to eat less. Curiously, the most important decision is how often to eat at home. If you cook for yourself, you have a better control over the quantity of food you eat. Go out with family or friends and, when the food arrives, there is that expectation that everyone will clear their plates. In such circumstances, you must keep control, eat only half and pack the rest home &#8211; that is one less meal you will have to cook for yourself.</p>
<p>One tip for your own kitchen. Buy a set of smaller plates. The eyes often deceive the stomach. If you put a small portion on to a large plate, it looks unsatisfying. You are more likely to feel hungry and want a second helping. Put the same portion on a small plate and it looks more generous and you will often feel more satisfied. For those of you who are more lazy and prefer to cook less often, cook a large batch. Take a number of small boxes, portion it out and store separately in the refrigerator or freezer depending on how quickly you will eat the batch. You should also add a side salad to each lunch and dinner. This should not be a simple serving of lettuce. It&#8217;s better to mix salad with vegetables. The fibre content helps you feel fuller more quickly. In all of this, you should avoid snacking. There are enormous amounts of calories in snack foods. Hopefully, you can stick with a three-meal-a-day routine of smaller quantity without feeling hungry. If hunger does become a problem, go for mini meals more often. That way, you eat the same amount of food, but spread out differently over the day.</p>
<p>In all this, the assumption has been you will cope well with the hunger. Sadly, this is not always possible. Even with the help of family and friends, hunger gnaws away inside you and tempts you to break the diet before you have started. The answer is <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/benefits-of-phentermine.html">phentermine</a> which suppresses the hunger messages coming from the stomach and allows you to go through to your scheduled meal times without distractions. However, you cannot take <a href="http://www.phentermineguide.net/">phentermine</a> for more than a few weeks at a time. So the strategy is to start without the help of drugs. As and when hunger proves a problem, use the phentermine for a few weeks. All this time, your stomach is slowly contracting and growing more comfortable with smaller portions. You will be surprised how quickly you stop feeling so hungry.</p>
