Walking 3 km daily can prevent impotence

According to the study carried out by international researchers, walking daily for 3 km reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction in men or even reverse current impotence, particularly in those who are obese, the WebMD reported.

8220;Sedentary men may be able to reduce their risk of erectile dysfunction by adopting regular physical activity at a level of at least 200 calories a day, which corresponds to walking briskly for two miles,8221; lead researcher Katherine Esposito of the Second University of Naples said.

The researchers came to the conclusion after analysing the effects of walking on 100 middle-aged obese men suffering from erectile dysfunction but without heart disease, diabetes or other conditions known to cause impotence. 8220;About one-third of obese men with erectile dysfunction regained their sexual function after two years of adopting healthy behaviours,8221; Esposito said.
