Older men who stay active, eat a healthy diet, and avoid bad lifestyle choices often enjoy robust sexual function into their golden years.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While the incidence of erectile dysfunction clearly increases with age, it is not the aging process that robs men of healthy erectile function.<\/p>\n

Rather it is the unhealthy lifestyle choices they\u2019ve made through the years that gradually compromise blood flow and thus give rise to impotence.<\/p>\n

Can an 80-year-old achieve the same firm and long-lasting erections he had as a teenager? Outside of a Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not exhibit, clearly not. But that doesn\u2019t mean he needs to forgo a satisfying sex life.<\/p>\n

If you would like to preserve erectile function for as long as possible, hopefully until your final years, choose to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible. This means you should avoid a high-fat, empty-calories diet, adopt a regular regimen of physical activity, and reject bad habits such as smoking and drinking to excess.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that some underlying physical ailments can significantly increase a man\u2019s risk of developing ED, but even here many of those ailments are more likely to develop as a result of unhealthy choices. Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, two of the illnesses most often seen in men with ED, are perfect examples of the toll that can be taken by unhealthy eating and a sedentary lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Although the primary cause of ED is insufficient blood flow to the penis, impotence can also arise because of psychological issues, such as depression and anxiety. While psychogenic impotence is most often observed in younger men, it can occur in some older men as well. For them, psychological counseling is usually the best course of action.<\/p>\n
