For all of you couch potato men out there listen up. As if there's aren't enough reasons to exercise here's another one, men who exercise, even just 30 minute walks throughout the week lessen their chances of becoming impotent and have better erections overall. Here's an excerpt from an Associated Press article:
""Maybe the penis is like a barometer of what could happen to your heart and to your brain for stroke,'' said Dr. William Steers, professor and chairman of the urology department at the University of Virginia. Steers was not involved in the Harvard study.
""Go in IC (intensive care) and ask how many men were impotent before your heart attack, and more than 80 percent in any study had erectile dysfunction way before their heart attacks,'' said Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a professor of urology at Boston University School of Medicine.
But lifestyle changes such as exercise have to be made before the impotence develops, because there's no evidence that exercise afterward will undo the damage, the doctors said."
