Age and sex life
As one day follows the next, one thing is certain. Tomorrow, you’re one day older and with that sad fact, comes all the bad news about declining health. For some reason, we seem to peak in physical performance in our early twenties. After that, it’s a slow decline. The first signs are in a loss of muscle mass. After college and university, most men give up on exercise. The waist line tends to expand as the food consumption is no longer offset by activity. The cholesterol levels rise along with other warning indicators for high blood pressure and metabolic disorders. Then with middle age comes the risk of erectile dysfunction as testosterone levels fall, cancers can start to show, and many start to feel more insecure. It’s quite surprising how many men in middle age experience problems with anxiety and depression. In part, this is brought on by acceptance that they can no longer do what they did when young. They carry the memories of what it was like at their peak and find themselves sadly lacking as they age. Self-confidence suffers and their general levels of vitality fall.
In most men, there are just one of two problems. But when the problems cluster, health can go downhill quickly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to monitor the state of the nation’s health. The most recent report shows a disturbing trend. For those aged 18 and above, 12% are in fair or poor health with only one-third exercising. The result is that almost one-third are now considered obese and have high blood pressure.
All men have a tendency to add weight as they age. This is the expanding belly we see all too often. But previous generations tended to show it later in life. This was before the modern times of plenty when food was more expensive. Then it took longer for people to build up the financial resources to eat enough to add those extra pounds. Today, people start eating too much as children and never slow throughout their lives. That’s why we have an explosion of obesity and associated poor health. Unfortunately, if you tell overweight men who have erectile dysfunction that their lives would be better if they lost some pounds, they look at you as if you just suggested suicide. Apart from those who appear on reality weight-loss television shows, only a small percentage of the overweight ever lose weight.
Against this background, even Levitra suffers. It can keep the sexual response going for longer, being the most powerful of the three main drugs for erectile disfunction. But if blood pressure problems persist, high cholesterol levels produce diseases of the blood vessels, and diabetes or heart disease comes into the picture, there will come a point when even the power of Levitra will fail. This places the burden fairly and squarely on your shoulders. Once the first symptoms have been confirmed, you could take action and start losing some weight and taking other preventative steps. If you don’t you have no one but yourselves to blame if the erectile dysfunction becomes permanent as you age.
