1. What an Incentive to Diet!
If you're overweight and suffering from sexual dysfunction, there are ways you can tailor your diet to lose weight, help increase your libido and become the star lover that you've always dreamt of being. A so-called "sex diet" requires discipline and commitment as you change the way you eat and modify your physical behavior on a day-to-day basis. Keeping your eye on the goal--in this case, a more powerful intimacy with your partner--helps you stay focused. In short, eat well and have as much sex as your partner allows.
2. Heart Healthy Equals Penis Healthy
If it helps your heart, it helps your sexual function, say researchers. Saturated fat, as it clogs your arteries, restricts blood flow, and less blood flow equals less of an erection. For that reason alone, if sex interests you at all, you might want to keep a close watch on those saturated fats. Too much alcohol is not good, and drunkenness hurts your ability to be fully sexually active. Wine or champagne can set the mood, as we all know, but drink little to moderate amounts if you're planning a stimulating evening.
3. Check Your Moods at the Bed
Attitude is everything, even when you're eating right, so any good diet should be accompanied by a good mental state. Create the right atmosphere by decreasing your daily stress levels and working a relaxed and balanced routine into your work day. Key to this diet plan: have more sex.
4. Supermarket Sex
So, what should you buy? There are many options when it comes to food that can help you have a more satisfying sex life. Chocolate has long been a craving that seems to go with sexuality, and there's a reason for it: chocolate releases dopamine, the same chemical that the brain produces when you have an orgasm. This "feel good" food, then, has a direct connection to enhancing your sex life. Chile peppers get the nervous system going. Fruits and veggies help keep your cholesterol and your weight low, which help you keep the blood flowing easily throughout your body while helping you maintain a proper weight. Oats and grains increase testosterone levels in the blood and give you boosts of energy that are necessary in bed. Nuts, ginger and honey are said to be staples of sexual energy.
5. Get in Shape
Research and common sense show that the better shape you're in, the more full and active a sex life you can have. Being overweight puts stress on you, both mentally and physically, and reduces available testosterone, while regular exercise and nutritional eating work together to produce more testosterone and feelings of well-being. This can easily translate into a sense of being more at ease with your body, which is an essential ingredient to satisfying sex. Solid exercise releases endorphins, the body's own "feel good" chemicals, into your system. In the end, sex is all about feeling good.
