What’s going on these days? Every other commercial is about some new Erectile Disfunction drug! There are blue pills, yellow pills and natural pills. What does it all mean?
A study, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, showed that one in four men at an outpatient clinic who sought help for erectile dysfunction (a condition where a man has a problem having or maintaining an erection) was actually under the age of 40. Plus, nearly half of those men under age 40 -- 48.8 percent of them -- had a severe case of the sexual condition, compared with 40 percent of men older than age 40.
That’s a LOT of men at a relatively young age. Is this a new epidemic? Not at all - rather, it is like the canaries in the coal mines of old - it’s a warning call that something is about to go very wrong.
Erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease are actually two indicators of the same disease - inflamed, clogged and crippled arteries that are in the process of shutting down. For two-thirds of men showing up at emergency rooms with crushing chest pain, their penises had been trying to warn them for years that their circulation was shutting down.
And seeing this occur in younger men? It’s another harbinger of the negative effects of the standard American diet. So here’s the progression… higher cholesterol levels predict ED later in life which in turn predicts heart attacks, strokes and a shortened life span. The blue pill treats a symptom but doesn’t do away with the underlying problem. Pay attention to this canary in the mine - change your eating habits before it’s too late!
