There are two conflicting sayings, "Nothing in life is free" and "The best things in life are free" They can be reconciled. More often than not, there is a price tag attached to the choices you make, but not all prices have to be paid in money. For example, you can find joy in a relationship, the emotional capacity for love coming as a free gift when you get the body. This is not to deny there may be costs to love, but a successful relationship is priceless. However, to keep a relationship stable and successful usually requires a reasonably consistent level of sexual performance. Adult couples expect to be able to enjoy their time together in bed. Erectile dysfunction threatens this happiness and so requires treatment. Modern science has provided pills to be taken but this can overlook the reasons for the erectile dysfunction. In another article, the effect of smoking as a cause was discussed. The conclusion was that quitting early was a way of maintaining sexual activity. The choice to start smoking and the decision to continue comes with the cost of serious medical risks. Nicotine is addictive because it gives pleasure but nothing in life is free.

There are other choices that have equally dramatic effects. As people grow up, they are surrounded by role models and, to fit in, they often copy what they see others doing. This is wonderful if everyone around children eats healthy food in small portions. But the reality is that most people eat junk food in excessive portions. Adults who carry excessive weight are more likely to contract type 2 diabetes. This causes damage to the nervous system and usually causes erectile dysfunction. Obesity is also linked with high blood pressure and heart disease so sexual activity may become physically difficult if not dangerous. Those who are overweight may also not be considered attractive. This can make it challenging to find partners. How much food you eat is a choice. The decision to eat less can be made. You can also make a commitment to exercise. Why does all this matter?

A recent piece of informal research found there is a link between cities with cooking styles using large quantities of fat and the number of prescriptions written for cialis and the other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. In northern cities which have active campaigns to force restaurants to abandon the use of trans fats and to put calorie counts on the menus, few prescriptions are written. Add in the cities that have banned smoking in public places and have a reputation for physical exercise, and the pattern becomes even more clear. The medical evidence shows that people who have a healthy diet and keep fit live longer and have a better quality of life. This includes a great sex life. If older people find sex more difficult, cialis is available to ensure those over sixty can carry on enjoying life to the full. Indeed, men over seventy in clinical trials have a more than satisfactory experience using cialis. The moral is clear. Those who make good lifestyle decisions get happiness - something that comes free.
