Letter: Letters: Keep fit routine

Published 13 November 1993

From I. R. LYON

I have read with great interest ‘The challenge to HRT’ (23 October).
I would like to suggest that one most important factor in human lifestyle
was omitted, that of sexual activity. As fit and well septuagenarians my
wife and I pay some attention to an old maxim (slightly modified) ‘An orgasm
a day keeps the doctor away’.
