A Shocking New Discovery to Treat Erectile Dysfunction
A new treatment has been discovered to help treat erectile dysfunction, however, the men might wince at the thought of this idea. Researchers from Israel have reported promising preliminary results from using low-intensity shock wave therapy to help treat vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED). In fact, 15 out of the 20 patients who suffered from mild or moderate ED who have been treated so far had a significant improvement with their erectile function, and in most cases were able to discontinue treatment with phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors.

Keeping Warm and Cozy During Winter May Expand Your Waistline
According to a new study conducted by researchers at the University College London, the ever-increasing expectation of thermal comfort could be having a negative impact on the healthy balance between brown and white fat in the body, resulting in a reduction of the body's ability to generate heat. Findings of the study showed evidence suggesting that a reduction in the exposure to seasonal cold may not only diminish the need for the body to generate heat, but also lessen its capacity to do so, which has a dual impact on a person's ability to maintain a healthy weight.
