To listen to all the uproar, you’d think The Pill, you know the little blue one, was the be all, end all solution to ED.

Heaven only knows they are telling you often enough to “ask your doctor if it is right for you.”

Not so fast.

Let’s look at the rest of the story.

Taking a pill assumes that this is a medical problem. Yet most of the problems men have with erections are either caused by poor lifestyle habits, or problems with their relationships.

Neither of which will be helped by taking a pill. Maybe that’s why less than half of the prescriptions for ED pills are refilled.

More importantly, there are side effects for these pills, some really nasty ones that you don’t want to experience….ones that can have permanent side effects.

So, what’s a man, a couple to do? How can you get passed having trouble in the bedroom, and get back to a satisfying love life, given all the changes you’ve experienced so far?

Not with herbs from Africa or China or even South America. Heaven only knows what’s in them. They’re a basic I don’t think so.

What really works?

You’ll be shocked. And probably annoyed.

At least that’s how I feel when I get news that I really don’t want, or don’t want to have to think about changing behaviors and habits I have slid into.

The most effective thing you can do doesn’t cost much, is always available, and can be done by virtually everyone…no matter what your health challenges or your stage and station in life.

The big secret? Start taking better care of yourself. No matter if you are 94 or 49, improving your health habits is the single most effect change you can make to improve your love life.

This means adding some exercise to you daily routine…walking is good. A little stretching helps. Maybe carrying your own groceries to the car rather than letting the kids at the check out counter carry them all. Simple aerobic, stretching, weight lifting can quickly bring the bounce back.

If you add cutting back on cigarettes and alcohol, you’ll get another boost up.

Then cut back on the amount of junk food and fast food you eat on a regular basis to cut a few pounds off and you’ll be surprised at how much better you feel, how your agility improves, and most of all, your attitude.

The biggest benefit of increased activity may not be physical but emotional. Increasing your activity, even a little bit, is the best antidote to “the blues,” boredom, and stress you can find.

Besides, it’s light and easy to carry.
