Millions of men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) each year are too embarrassed to talk about it with their doctor. ED is a very common disorder, but it is not considered to be a "normal" part of aging. ED is often a signal that there is an underlying problem that needs to be treated. Before attempting to overcome ED on your own, it's very important to make an appointment with your doctor and clear up any other issues that might be affecting your ability to sustain an erection. Talk to your doctor about your vascular health. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, it's possible that one of these conditions has damaged arteries in your body and could contribute to ED. Heart disease and diabetes are two serious conditions that often start with ED as a symptom. If you have one of these disorders, getting treatment should help you overcome erectile dysfunction. Make it a priority to get outside or go to the gym to walk, run, swim, bike, or do strength training at least 4 times a week. According to a study conducted by Harvard, walking 30 minutes a day caused a 41% drop in risk for ED. Getting regular exercise aids circulation, getting your blood pumping through your entire body. When it's time to sustain an erection, better circulation is key. Larger waistlines are associated with higher rates of ED. Putting in the work to slim down can lead to huge improvements in the bedroom. Make sure you're eating a healthy diet loaded with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods and foods made with refined sugars and flours. Replace high-calorie drinks with water or unsweetened tea. Eat healthy snacks like nuts, carrots, and apples instead of reaching for sugar-laden power bars or fast food. Smoking can make ED worse since it interferes with your circulatory system and is linked to diseases that cause ED. If you're having trouble sustaining an erection, now might be the time to give up the cigarettes for good. If quitting doesn't seem possible right now, cut back as much as you can. If you can limit your smoking to a few cigarettes a day, that's better than smoking a pack. Alcohol is another substance that has a huge impact on erections. After a few drinks, many men of all ages find it much more difficult to stay hard. The pelvic floor helps the penis stay hard during erections by pressing on a vein that keeps blood from leaving until the erection is over. Men who exercise their pelvic floor have better results than those who rely solely on lifestyle changes to correct erectile dysfunction. Perform Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscle. To find your pelvic floor, tighten the muscles you'd need to tighten to stop your urine flow. Tighten and release the muscle 8 times, then rest and do it 8 more times. Continue until you've done 3 or 4 sets of 8. Do Kegels every day at least once a day.

One-sentence summary -- Get past your dislike of the doctor's office. Exercise regularly. Keep your weight down. Quit smoking. Avoid alcohol. Exercise your pelvic floor.

Article: Commodity stocks are those stocks that have prices that move with underlying commodity prices. This correlation is stronger for some stocks than for others. The important thing is that the company be related to the production or use of the underlying commodity. For example, rather than investing in aluminum futures, you could buy stock in companies that mine it. This way you lower your risk but are still participating in the commodities markets. Commodity stock prices will not move directly with commodity prices and may be influenced by other factors like company performance or underlying reserve values. Stocks are far less volatile than futures and they are easy to buy and sell. You could also consider buying mutual funds that invest in a variety of commodity-related stocks. Stocks and bonds are long term and have no expiration date like those of commodities or options. Start looking for commodity stocks to invest in by first locating a commodity that you want to invest in. You can identity this commodity either by simply choosing one that interests you or by following market news for information on potential price volatility. Locate related companies by searching for them on market websites. You can start by looking for companies that produce, refine, or ship your chosen commodity. Alternately, you can look for companies that use your chosen commodity as a primary input to production. Commodity-related stocks can be analyzed fundamentally or technically. Use fundamental analysis to determine if the company is a good value and likely to prosper in the future. Once you've chosen a stock, identify buying opportunities by watching the price movements of the stock to determine the optimum purchase and sale opportunities. Any type of online brokerage account will give you access to buying and selling stocks. Simply place an order for the amount of shares of the commodity stock you want to buy or sell. After you've bought it, track the stock's price and the price of the underlying security to determine when to sell. Cash and margin accounts are available. The latter provides an ability to sell stocks short as well as the ability to borrow money from the brokerage firm. Be aware that leverage increases the profit potential of a trade as well as its risk. When buying stocks of any kind, diversification reduces the risk of loss present in a single company. Consider buying multiple companies in the same industry to reduce the risk of owning a single company; buy companies in different industries to reduce the risk of owning a single industry.
