Sexual health professionals are available to help men and their partners address a potential porn addiction, as well as the healthy steps to restore relationship quality.
And since heart disease is a well-reported cause of ED (symptoms restrict blood flow and harden arteries), it makes sense some studies have linked D deficiency to the disorder, too.
Apart from soaking up a safe amount of sun, vitamin D is better sourced from food than supplements. Salmon, fortified milk, fortified cereal, eggs, mushrooms, small servings of pork and beef, as well as ricotta cheese are the way to go. CONTINUE READING

Michos, an assistant professor of medicine at the John Hopkins Hospital, “a growing number of studies point to vitamin D deficiency as a risk factor for heart attacks, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), strokes, and the conditions associated with cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.”And since heart disease is a well-reported cause of ED (symptoms restrict blood flow and harden arteries), it makes sense some studies have linked D deficiency to the disorder, too.
