The TRUE Cause of Your Below-the-Belt Troubles

Dear Reader,
It’s never easy for men to talk about what goes on in the bedroom – ESPECIALLY if it’s not going very well.
But here is what no one will tell you about erectile dysfunction (ED)….
It is a SYMPTOM and not a disease.
And what’s ED symptom of?
I’m glad you asked!
ED is a symptom of bigger problems going on in your body.
You might immediately pin it on low testosterone.
And while low testosterone is common among older men, researchers have discovered men with problems below-the-belt face an overall higher risk of death – regardless of their testosterone levels.
You see, when patients tell me they have ED, I know that it’s time to pay attention to other things, especially heart health.
This is because heart health, especially clogged arteries, is a major reason for reduced blood flow to your heart, your brain, and below-the-belt functioning.
Which is why ED is not something to mess around with when it comes to your health (and love life).
A recent study, published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, looked at over 1,913 men and measured their testosterone levels and sexual function for a span of 12 years.
The researchers found that men with normal testosterone levels who still suffered from ED had a 51 percent higher risk of dying than those with no reported bedroom problems.
And men who had both low testosterone and ED had an even higher risk of death.
In fact, men who reported bedroom issues, overall troubles below the belt, and low sexual drive had a 1.8 times higher risk of death than the others.
This is because poor blood flow AND low testosterone often go hand-in-hand to create those awful bedroom problems.
So if you have problems in the bedroom, now is the time to have your heart checked out.
If your doctor gives you a clean bill of health, there are a lot of effective natural remedies to help increase your blood flow and testosterone. There’s no reason to live with ED, take action and put those “bad nights in bed” to rest.
