New, Natural ED Treatment
There is a new natural therapy for erectile dysfunction.
That comes as a big surprise to most patients who suffer from ED — because they’ve been told again and again their only solution is a Big Pharma booster like Viagra, or that they should just accept their condition as a part of aging.
Common ED Beliefs
ED has become so common, it’s the accepted norm in men of “a certain age.” It now affects 30 million men in America.

But imagine doing that exhausting exercise class two, three or four more times in one day. That’s what your favorite teachers and trainers do to help keep you motivated. Not only do they have to show you proper moves, but they also sweat (and even suffer) alongside you to inspire you to give it everything you’ve got, just like they do.
Of course, it takes a lot of food to fuel all of that activity. HuffPost Lifestyle asked master trainers from five major gyms and boutique exer...

Your Favorite Food Might Not Be Calling Itself 'Healthy’ In The Future
Last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to the fruit-and-nut snack bar company Kind, on the grounds that using the word "healthy" on its labels was misleading.
Undeterred, Kind fought back. The company issued a citizen petition signed by 12 high-profile nutritionists in December, asking the FDA to update its requirements for packaging a food as "healthy." Kind claimed the standards for using the term are based on outdated nutrition science concerning saturated fat, in which nuts are high.
After a back-and-forth battle between the snack company and government agency, ...
