Perhaps it’s the rhyme between Italian and stallion that makes the two words fit together so well — like pizza eata which many people do at weekends. It just can’t be literally true that every Italian man walking this Earth has this innate understanding of every possible sexual position and is an expert in pleasuring women. Now can it? And it can’t all be Sylvester Stalone’s fault even though he is supposed to be hung like a horse. And as for those sports cars with the prancing horse on the front. . . Well, there must be a reason why Italians have this reputation as great lovers.

Of all the possible answers, the most recent has just been supplied by a research team working out of the Second University of Naples. Hey, you people in the First University, hang you head in shame. Fancy being beaten by these dudes from the Second University. Anyway, these scientists in the Division of Urology who lurk deep in the bowels of the Department of Geriatrics and Metabolic Diseases have been studying the relationship between diet and erectile dysfunction among men diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. As a word of explanation, there’s a strong link between diabetes and erectile dysfunction. This is independent of the likelihood of obesity, lack of exercise and poor diet. It comes from the increased rate in the hardening of the arteries and the damage to the nerve endings caused by the excessive levels of glucose in the blood. That’s why one of the first symptoms you notice is a tingling in your extremities alongside a general feeling of fatigue.

The second division scientists studied the diet eaten by 550 Italian men and related that data to sexual performance. The findings are exciting. When the men ate a Mediterranean diet, their BMI was lower, their waists more trim, their stamina levels were better during physical activity, their glucose profiles were lower, and their erections and sense of satisfaction in sex were significantly stronger than the men who ate fast food. Now a word about translation from the Italian. Although you would expect men living in Italy to eat a "Mediterranean diet" — Italy does dip its toe in that inland sea — this reference to diet is the now accepted Mediterranean diet you will see on the bookshelves of America.

This gives you an interesting choice. If you are diabetic, this research is very good news. The Mediterranean diet helps control your metabolism and produces better lipid and glucose levels. It also helps you enjoy a more satisfying sex life with better physical endurance and harder erections. But if you eat food heavy with fat and sugar, your diabetes is more likely to continue damaging your nerve endings and threatening your extremities. Either way, men with diabetes find cialis improves their sexual performance unless the damage to the nervous system is too extensive. This article should be taken as encouragement to all men with erectile dysfunction to have a full medical check-up. If you do have diabetes and it is not treated, your erectile dysfunction could become irreversible no matter how many online cialis pills you buy and take. It’s your choice.
