Exercise is one of the most effective solutions to fall back to when having erectile dysfunction problems. According to the findings in several research work, working out helps reduce the risk of getting erectile dysfunction drastically.
The penis is basically a muscle powered by blood vessels and to get long lasting erections the blood flow to the penis must be good. The main reason why exercise is such an effective tool against erectile dysfunction is because of the endothelium which is essentially the lining of the blood vessels that deals with blood flow.
The heart is home to most of the blood vessels in the body and consequently the endothelium plays a vital role in that sector of the body. A direct improvement on the health of the endothelium will reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction and consequently reduce the risk of having heart diseases.
