NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - There's new advice for older men who want to preserve their sexual function: have sex, and have it often, researchers say. In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (Buy Viagra) by the study's end. In fact, the more often the men had sex, the lower their Buy Generic Viagra risk. The implication, say the researchers, is that men should be encouraged to stay sexually active into their golden years. Dr. Juha Koskimaki and colleagues at the University of Tampere in Finland report the findings in the American Journal of Medicine. The study included 989 men who were between the ages of 55 and 75 at the outset. Overall, those who said they had sex less than once per week were twice as likely to develop ED over the next five years as men who had sex at least once a week. Furthermore, compared with men who had sex three or more times per week, their Order Viagra risk was increased nearly four-fold. A number of factors contribute to ED development, many of which could also affect a man's sexually activity -- such as age, diabetes and heart disease. However, after taking account of those factors, sexual activity itself remained linked to Cheap Viagra risk, Koskimaki's team found. It may be a matter of "use it or lose it," according to the researchers. Just as exercise boosts physical fitness, they note, regular sexual activity may help a man preserve his erectile function. buy viagra online occurs when there are problems with blood flow to the penis. Regular sexual activity, Koskimaki's team writes, may help maintain healthy blood vessel function in the erectile tissue. SOURCE: American Journal of Medicine, July 2008.

A fun show

I almost didn’t wake up for the breakfast show trail, so it was a good job I’d turned the answerphone off. It was one of those mornings when you half wake up but not quite all the way. Eventually I managed to drag myself out from under the duvet with ten minutes to spare and did my best to sound alive. I think it worked. Fortunately it was an easy subject and both Sandy (Warr) and Simon (Bates) got involved to it was an upbeat chat. It was an easy subject, too, so I didn’t need to do any revision. Spent the day at work trying to do the frantic last minute pre-holiday bits I know I won’t have time for tomorrow and think I got just about everything done, in spite of a 15 minute meeting that went on three times that long and a pile of proofs landing on my desk.

I left for the studios on time, though, which was good, and took a tin of toffee with me that we could eat during the show but I subsequently forgot to take out of my bag so it’s come home with me.

Our show’s got a sponsor, which is exciting, so we had some new jingles with the name that sound very good in stereo and probably come across well on the digital channel. Friendly guests, including the guy behind Friends Reunited, who in a kind of spoddy way I was actually rather excited to meet. He said he enjoyed being able to sit back and just chat, unlike the other shows he’s done (mainly national) where you’re shunted in and out in a moment. He even inspired me to go back in and update my profile on it from the rather feeble one-liner to a couple of paragraphs which in truth is probably slightly overkill.

Plenty of further revisions to be done for book publisher Joyce. A name that runs through the whole thing (and many of the screen shots) now has to be changed. Of course as with all things meedjya it has to be done before I go on holiday, so here I sit, doing it, when I still haven’t put any clothes into a bag for going away.
