The irony is hard to miss: men who take Viagra may be shooting blanks
according to new research conducted at Queen's University in Belfast,
Northern Ireland. Viagra, it seems, causes sperm cells to premature
release digestive enzymes that normally break down the wall of the egg.
As a result, sperm from men who take Viagra can no longer fertilize eggs
as effectively.
In the United States and around the world, men who
suffer from obvious nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances caused
by statin drugs, and an alarming lack of physical exercise are
increasingly turning to Viagra to restore their youthful sexual
performance. But I've got news for all Viagra fans: healthy men keep it
up well into their 70's and 80's without Viagra. If you're
drooping at age 40, you are suffering from some rather serious health
problems, and prescription drugs are probably part of the problem.
Taking statins, for example, interferes with your body's ability to
create cholesterol. And cholesterol is the raw ingredient out of which
sex hormones are manufactured. By taking statins, you're effectively
blocking your sex hormones and practically guaranteeing you'll stay
limp!
Lack of physical fitness is another big factor: men who
exercise regularly (and especially those who engage in strength
training) rarely have performance problems. That's because exercise
generates natural hormones that keep you youthful and able.
To
anyone who thinks they need Viagra, I have alternative advice: you need
to change your diet, get off prescription drugs, and start strength
training. Don't take one drug (Viagra) to treat the problems caused by
another drug (statins). Instead, get back to the fudamentals of good
health (nutrition and fitness) to restore the performance you had when
you were in your 20's.
