Is erectile dysfunction common in men over 40?
If you are a male, after 40, your testosterone levels begin to drop. I recommend you check with your PCP, check your total testosterone, and the free testosterone levels. If your PCP does not feel comfortable managing this prescription, get a referral to see your urologist. If you want to do lifestyle changes, change your diet, do daily exercise, cardio exercises daily to increase your stamina. Decrease alcohol intake and stop smoking, if you still do. All these changes will improve your testosterone levels and your ED. READ MORE

Should young children consume energy drinks?
Absolutely not, those drinks are just sugar and usually caffeine or another xanthine. They are just as vicious or dangerous as caffeine. This is especially deleterious for kids. They don't need to grow up with a sense they need this or that to perk up. What they need is nutrition, self control, exercise, and responsibility. READ MORE
