How Erectile Dysfunction and Heart Diseases Correlated?

We know about erectile dysfunction already. But if we don’t, then we must understand that this is the physical condition where a man finds it hard to have an erection even after being sexually aroused. If we talk about ED and heart diseases, they are immensely correlated. There is a firm link between both. While heart diseases are among the most essential reasons behind erectile dysfunction, it is also found that men with ED have higher risk of having heart diseases.

In this article, we will talk about how ED and several heart diseases can impact each other.

IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION A SERIOUS PROBLEM?

In most of the articles we go through, ED has been considered to be an age-related problem, which means that people of specific age groups only suffer from the particular issue of not having an erection. But do you know that the majority of men have suffered from ED at least once in their lifetime?

Though men between 40 to 70 years of age are very prone to suffer from ED, men below the age range, too, have witnessed the problem happening to them. Erectile dysfunction is reversible; thus, you can’t consider it to be that serious, how it does sound. It is a common problem, and there can be many reasons behind this physical to take place in a man’s life.

THE GENERAL CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION:

There can be multiple reasons and causes of ED. Most of the time, it is even easier to categorize the causes of erectile dysfunction, like physical and psychological. The most common psychological causes of ED are:

Stress
Anxiety
Relationship Issues
Work pressure etc.

The number of physical causes of ED is way more than the psychological one. The standard physical problems which may lead to ED are:

Cardiovascular or heart diseases
Liver related problems
Low or high blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
Prostate or any other surgery
Other neurological disorders.
HEART DISEASES AS MAJOR ED CAUSE:

Though most of the physical cause can lead to partial or complete erectile problem, we will place our focus upon erectile dysfunction as the result of heart issues. In general, most of the heart diseases harm the blood vessels of the body.

As we know or discussed in many other articles that there is a direct connection between better blood vessels and having an erection. To get erect, your penis needs to have an adequate amount of blood flow. When, in most cases, heart diseases harm the blood vessels, it gets challenging for them to carry enough blood to the penis.

It is found that patients who are suffering from cholesterol and hypertension problems face ED more often. It is because, when your body produces more than enough cholesterol in the body, it leads to many heart diseases.

THE INVERSE PROCESS:

While it is easier to predict a man with heart diseases can face this problem too, it is not even hard to predict the reverse of it. Men who are suffering from erectile problem can also suffer from a heart attack within five years. In a family background where erectile dysfunction is a result of smoking and consuming a higher level of alcohol, it was found that men have ED mostly.

HOW TO TREAT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?

Well, whatever be the cause, as the problem is a reversible problem, it can be treated with ED medication and treatments. There are multiple drugs available in the market, including Viagra 100mg, Levitra 10 mg, and Cialis 60 mg tablets. Though the working mechanism of all the medicines is way different from each other, one thing they have in common is, they increase the nitric oxide level in the body and help you to get an erection promptly.

Mostly the effective action of all the medicines remains in the bloodstream for 4 to 6 hours after they are taken.

Men with suffering from any heart-related disease must not prefer any of the ED treatments without consulting the health practitioner. Treating heart-related problems can eventually end up solving ED problems.

CONCLUSION

Most of the ED drugs used can show more or less side effects on the body. One must be sure about the prescriptions they are following for the treatment of the heart disease to intake the ED drugs safely. Do check with your doctor about which medicine is the most suitable one for your health.

St Lucia Property Attracting High End Buyers

Bouncing back in style from the global recession, over the course of the past couple of years, The Caribbean property market has been enjoying somewhat of a Renaissance. Attracting more than its fair share of ultra high net worth investors looking to secure their next ubiquitous ‘place in the sun’, St Lucia’s unique brand of low-key luxury is particularly in favour with the high-end investors.

Less developed than some of its island neighbours, investing in property in St Lucia offers access to a 5-star luxury lifestyle without the ostentation of some of the other uber-wealthy enclaves like St Barts, for instance.

The Appeal of Investing in Luxury Property

While the island’s luxury lifestyle, natural beauty, and potential for capital growth are no doubt prime markers for high-end investors, there are plenty other deal-sweeteners on offer as well, including waivers on stamp duty and inheritance tax on certain deals.

Added to this, the St Lucian government has recently instigated a programme where anyone with a net worth of over US$3 million can apply to become a citizen, with all the attached fiscal benefits that affords.

What the Super Rich are Buying

St Lucia may not be as dense with billionaires per capita as some of other Caribbean islands (although it’s in the top four), but it certainly has no shortage of suitable properties to tempt them to part with a few cool millions.

For those with US$16 million to drop on their Caribbean dream, the Glenconner Beach Residences might just do the job – although they’ll have to wait a few months for completion (due in 2016). Set on absolute white-sand beachfront with views out to the Pitons, the four properties (one at nearly 10,000sq ft) are part of the famous Sugar Beach Resort. Investors looking to justify a return can expect to pull in a rental yield of up to US$15,000 a night in peak season when they’re not in residence themselves.

For up to US$3.75 million, a villa or penthouse in The Landings, up in the stunning north of the island at Rodney Bay, is positively bargain priced in comparison to Glenconnor Beach, and with the added benefit of somewhere to berth the super yacht! This ultra luxury 5-star resort has its own private marina, and the unique opportunity to purchase freehold beachfront property in St Lucia offers a multi-faceted investment with a high degree of flexibility and capital growth.

For around US$4 million, the spectacular Tuscan-style Villa Atlantis is a tempting prospect set within the prestigious Cap Estate. Situated on three acres of land high on a cliff, with sweeping views over the east and west coasts, Villa Atlantis looks just like the kind of ‘home from home’ a wealthy European mogul could be looking for.

The St Lucian property market is well and truly on the rebound, but right now it is still most definitely a buyer’s market, with sales up by around 20% in the past 18 months. While the global recession put the brakes on investment property in St Lucia for a time, over the past couple of years it’s well and truly become front and centre on the radar of the savvy super-rich once again. And who can blame them?

Kumar Gives Hell to the England Team

The 4th ODI in the series between England and India is yet to take place In Mohali on the 23rd of January. While England had the upper hand when they won the first match of the series at Rajkot, India made an amazing comeback by beating the rivals at home turf in a landslide of 127 runs.

Following their embarrassing defeat at Kochi, the English were hoping to break even with another win in their favor at Ranchi; but the support and enthusiasm in favor of the Indians at Mahendra Singh Dhon’s native place coupled with India’s desperate need to prove themselves after the disastrous results they reaped in 2012, motivated the Indian cricket team to give the match their best shot. Surprisingly enough, their best shot was exactly what was required for India to claim victory and a lead of 2-1 in the One Day International Series.

With some of the best players retired or on the bench, India had a very few fixtures to look forward to. Ever since their shameful return home from the away test series, Indian captain Dhoni had come under fire and also close to being ‘fired’. Thanks to luck and most probably some officials at the BCCI, Dhoni captured back the captain position which was dangled in front of Virat Kohli in the mean time. Kohli has shown a level of consistency that has pleased both his fans and comrades alike. The 77 runs that he acquired while batting it out during the series at Kochi, earned him the ‘man of the match’ award.

With the heavy weights gone, lesser known cricketers are coming up and taking their places based on their talents. Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ashok Dinda and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are all legends in the making. Of these players, Kumar in particular has been making it extra hard for the English team to acclimate to the whole ongoing ODI situation. During the second ODI at Kochin, he bowled all of his ten overs on a roll to come up with a three wickets for twenty nine runs score. The three wickets that he took was equivalent to destroying the metaphoric pillars of the England team, because it didn’t take long after that for them to collapse. Another notable achievement in Bhuvneshwar Kumar profile will be the tag of the’ first bowler to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar for a duck’. Apart from being a bowler, he is also a middle order batsman.
