Worried About ED? Go Easy On The Frosties.

Some recent survey data from Australia shed some interesting observations on the effects of alcohol on Erectile Dysfunction. What was interesting was the findings that if you drink alcohol it increases the rate of ED in men. Actually light or moderate use of alcohol may increase sexual performance. Heavy drinkers however had high rates of ED.

The rates of erectile dysfunction were about 30% lower among men who drank within NHMRC guidelines, (which is no more than four standard drinks per day over a five day period) and even among binge drinkers as compared to ex-drinkers. So if you have ED, it’s not necessary to give up or cut back usage of alcohol if you are a casual drinker. If you are not a drinker at all it also isn’t necessary to start because for some it is not a good choice at all.

If you are among the group who likes to have a cocktail or an occasional frosty, it’s all good. Other studies have also shown that a little alcohol is good for your heart and may help to lower the risk of erectile dysfunction.

From other data gathered in this study on cigarette smoking, smokers and former smokers were shown to have significantly higher odds of ED than people who never smoked.

If you have other factors like diabetes, that doesn’t get you off the hook for eating a healthy diet, losing weight and exercising though. But if you are into a weight loss program, here is an idea that we all might be able to put into practice.
