STD ‘knock-ons’
People who have had a sexually transmitted disease (STD) are more likely to suffer from sexual dysfunction later in life, according to the results of a new study. Sexual dysfunction in men can include erection problems and premature ejaculation, while in women, it can include a lack of ability to orgasm and painful intercourse. US researchers noted that people who had suffered an STD were more likely to have had more risky sexual experiences and multiple sex partners and several times more likely to enjoy sex less when older.

Oily fish and AMD
Eating oily fish once a week may reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD)—the most common type of registered blindness in Ireland. AMD affects central vision and this type of vision is needed for activities such as reading, driving and watching television. Around 65,000 Irish people are affected. Researchers found that people who consumed oily fish—containing Omega 3—at least once a week were 50% less likely to have the more severe form of AMD.
