Exercise can improve your health ... and your love life. That's the conclusion of a lot of recent research.
For example, the largest study ever done on male impotence found that sedentary men have a high incidence of erectile dysfunction, active men a low incidence.
Half of all men ages 40 to 70 have at least some problem with impotence. Many have both impotence and heart trouble, since both are caused by narrowed blood vessels.
Exercise can help treat impotence, according to a Harvard study. Men who exercise 20 minutes or more regularly on a daily basis had impotence half as often as sedentary men who did not exercise.
Finally, a California study showed that active men have better quality sex lives and a Texas study showed the same for women who exercise.
So if you want to improve your health and mood, and control your waistline as well as improve your sex life, hit the road, Jack or Jill.
