A recent study published in Circulation: Journal of American Heart Association found that erectile dysfunction may actually be a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. Since drugs that treat ED do not address the underlying cardiovascular causes of the problem, some men may think they are healthy when in fact, they are at risk for more serious heart conditions. According to the National Institute of Health, approximately 5 percent of 40-year-old men and 15 to 25 percent of 65-year-old men suffer from long-term erectile dysfunction (ED).
- Eat for your heart – Choose a diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and low in unhealthy saturated fats.
- Exercise often – Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 5 times a week, but even 10 minutes of daily exercise will provide cardiovascular benefits.
- Avoid cigarette and cigar smoke – Smoking and second-hand smoke inhalation are deadly to the cardiovascular system.

It’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. You’re going to have to have the “talk.” And if you’re smart about it, you’ll realize that it’s not one talk, but probably many over the years as your kid goes from asking completely naive biology questions to clamming up around you whenever the subject comes up.
Here are a few tips you should keep in mind.
1. You probably can’t remember either how babies are made. So, for God’s sake, do some reading so you don’t feel yourself jumping to the details of the parts you do understand. Especially when talking to young kids, you want to only answer the parts they are curious about at their age, and not about the stuff they’ll only want to know when they are in their teens.
