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.

Snow

Soho Square looks like a Christmas card. There are two pigeons on my windowledge with little piles of snow on their heads - like coconut haystacks or tiny party hats. I even threw a snowball. A fat, hard, bright white one. It disintegrated into the wall with a satisfying crump.

Today is our second day of snow, and it’s a couple of inches deep where it’s not been disturbed. There’s a snowball fight in the street out front, and I’m very glad of my flasks of soup.

The soup is also filling me up, which is a good thing, as it means I’m not nibbling through the afternoon. It’s helped me come to the conclusion that the route to a successful new year is not to make any resolutions, as I’ve been to the gym every day since being back at work, am not eating rubbish, and feel far better for it.

I’m also thinking about the Russian train trip. There’s a fairly easy Brussels - Cologne - Brest - Moscow route, returning through Orscha - Brest - Terespol - Warsaw - Berlin, which looks fun, and only takes a couple of days each way, so should still be fun by the end. The Die Bahn site is a godsend for working out cross-border trains.

I’m tempted to break it en route, though. Probably in Warsaw on the way out and Berlin on the way home, although only for a night each way so I’ve still got most of a full week in Moscow.

The new year party invites are coming through. Two so far, including dog racing at Walthamstow. Fantastic. Private box, though, which I’m not sure will be as much fun as the stands. Still, can’t wait.

I’m trying desperately to remember what double-reverse forecast means, as it won me some money last time. (Or even if that’s the right phrase).

Gym this evening with Kevin, who is sickeningly close to fulfilling his new years resolution of finishing off his six-pack (or bar of chocolate as they apparently call it in France). He had a head start last year, of course, but it’s still only taken three months, which is practically obscene.
