If you are an overweight smoker who does not get exercise of any sort you are on the fast track to suffering from impotence in your late thirties or early forties. Many different research projects done in different parts of the world will confirm that smokers double the chances of themselves getting erectile dysfunction, and that being overweight and unfit compounds the problem even more.

If you do start to suffer from erectile dysfunction due to unhealthy living it is no point just taking the medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra because while they may give you a temporary respite from your problem, you are probably suffering from poor blood circulation due to blocked arteries caused by smoking and overeating.
At Ukmedix News we have seen research which shows that people who quit smoking start to notice a beneficial effect on their erectile function within a week of throwing out the cigarettes. Other people report that their erectile function significantly improves with exercise and that immediately after a good workout their erectile function is at its best.
If you do serious damage your health and as a result are unable to get an erection you will regret the day that you ever lit up a cigarette and that you never did anything about your weight. While you may be able to quit smoking and get thin and fit it is possible that you will already have done the damage to your arteries and therefore your erectile function may never be as good as previously.
Living healthily is in a sense investing in your future well being and your future sexual ability. Healthy men in their seventy’s and eighty’s are still able to have sex and may only require a little bit of help from erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
You must not perceive erectile dysfunction medication as being able to help all men all the time, because while it does have extremely good success rates of 90%+, some men have just done too much damage to their health for it to be able to work and help them.
