If you’d like to take advantage of some of the health benefits that regular sexual activity has to offer, yet find that your desire just isn’t what it used to be, there are many natural tips that can help.
Your
sexual fires may also be fanned simply by eating less sugar. High
levels of sugar in your bloodstream can actually turn off the gene that
controls your sex hormones.
Other tips to give your libido a big-time boost include:
Getting physically active:
Studies have shown that men who engaged in regular physical activity
lowered their risk of experiencing sexual dysfunction. Remember, when
using exercise as a drug, it’s important to vary your routine.
Optimising your diet based on your body’s unique nutritional type:
Everybody has a unique nutritional type with varying demands for the
ratios of macronutrients (fats, proteins and carbohydrates) to function
optimally. When you’re eating the foods your body was designed to eat,
you’ll notice improvements in every aspect of your health. Some people
do better eating mainly proteins, some do better eating mainly
carbohydrates and some do better eating a combination of proteins and
carbohydrate. You will need to do tests to find out which metabolic type
you are.
Optimising your vitamin D and insulin levels:
These simple measures have profound influences on every area of your
health, including your sex life. Consider using choline and vitamin B5
supplements. The neurotransmitter that triggers the sexual message, in
both men and women, is acetylcholine.
According
to a study on the impact of sex on stress, as measured by blood
pressure levels in stressful situations, sexual intercourse may be one
of the best ways to calm your nerves.
Sexual desires, as well as orgasm, are controlled by various influences on the brain and nervous system.
Researchers have revealed many similarities between men and women;
contrary to popular belief, for example, visual stimuli spur sexual
stirrings in both.
Also, brain imaging
studies show that achieving orgasm involves far more than merely
heightened arousal. It requires a release of inhibitions, culminating in
a shutdown of the brain’s center of vigilance in both sexes, and a
widespread neutral power failure in women.
So being fat can have a negative effect on your sexual desire and satisfaction.
New research shows that if you are fat and can lose about 13 percent of
your body weight over two years you can feel more sexually attractive
and have greater sexual desire. So you don’t need drugs to have a better
sex life. Losing a bit of weight may just do the trick
