Healthy Foods Feed a Healthy Sex Life


A healthy sex life requires a little help, which means a balanced and nutrient rich diet combined with moderate exercise, a positive attitude and plenty of rest.

Like many aspect of health, our sex drive is affected by what we put into our bodies.

For example, fried and overly processed food along with too much saturated fat decreases your zest and vitality, leaving you feeling sluggish and inert.

Eliminate foods that don't agree with you. It is common for those with adrenal fatigue to have food allergies or intolerances to "white" flour or any foods that are rated high on the glycemic index. Adrenal fatigue can definitely affect your sex life.

Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and rich anti-oxidant foods all boost your sexual vitality "naturally." Vegetables especially have the antioxidants, minerals, and phytochemicals in the correct combination that help keep the blood sugar in balance, create better energy in the body and build up the immune system.

Go for a variety of kinds and colors of produce, to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs for sexual harmony, vitality and balance. Best picks are dark leafy greens, cooked tomatoes, and anything that's a rich yellow, orange or red color.

The presence of vitamins and other chemicals found in these vegetables supply the body with nutrients necessary to boost your energy production and sexual libido.

Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables with those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to feel more confident in their body and thus feel sexier!

A lifestyle that supports healthy nutrition will also support a healthy love life.

Be Yourself

No one likes to hear the words, "I don't like you." Some people will do almost anything to be liked, even at the expense of their own happiness, values, beliefs and standards.

Some people's overwhelming need to be liked is the very thing that makes them hard to like. In fact, for many people, the need to be liked is actually a significant barrier to personal and professional growth.

Not everyone is going to like you, and that's OK. While it's normal to want to be needed, liked, loved and important to others, it's also crucial to GET CLEAR about WHO YOU ARE and what you stand for, and to live a life CONSISTENT with those VALUES.

When it comes to this issue, you might want to ask yourself these questions:

Do I speak the truth (while exercising care, wisdom and understanding even if it's not popular to do so?)

Do I live a life which is consistent with my core values?

Do I operate with integrity?

Do I believe that my motives are good?

Is it my goal to be a positive influence in the lives of others?

Am I happy to disagree with people I like?

Do I like me?
