A lot of what makes up the sexual drive of a person is neurological – there’s no doubt about that. It’s actually proven by science. But that doesn’t mean that your physical makeup doesn’t influence your sex life either. You should always be making it a point to take care of your physical self anyway. But this is especially true if you really want to improve your sex life. You should know that how you take care of yourself greatly affects your sexual performance. So, if you’ve let yourself go a little bit as far as your health is concerned, that’s not a good thing.
1. Omega 3
You will find that the first step to actually having a healthy sex life is being able to feel aroused and in the mood for sex. And a huge bulk of feeling arousal is ensuring efficient blood flow all throughout the body. The better the blood flow in your body is going to be, the more likely you are going to be able to experience erections and orgasms. And that’s exactly what Omega 3 can do for you. Omega 3 can help decrease the level of nitric oxide in your blood stream. That’s going to result in a more unobstructed and efficient blood flow. You will be able to find Omega 3 fish and other seafood, nuts and seeds, and other plants as well.
2. Selenium
Scientists have also found that a deficiency in Selenium in the body can lead to a substantially decreased sex drive. This is especially true for males. Selenium is directly responsible for boosting libido in the human body. Libido represents a person’s overall desire for sexual activity. In addition to improving a guy’s libido, Selenium can also increase a man’s sperm count. This is especially important for sexually active couples who are trying to get pregnant. You will be able to acquire your fill of Selenium in protein-rich foods such as lean meats, eggs, and nuts.
3. Vitamin D
And now, we’re not just talking about “Vitamin D” in the more vulgar and suggestive manner that people usually do these days to represent the male reproductive organ. We’re talking about actual Vitamin D here. Vitamin D is another nutrient that is directly linked to substantially improving a person’s libido. You probably know by now that Calcium and Vitamin D are linked nutrients. You will be able to find Vitamin D in foods like milk, cheese, soybeans, kale, okra, spinach, and more. In addition to improving your sexual drive, Vitamin D can also help boost your immune system as well.
4. Spice
Okay, we know. Spice is not a nutrient. However, the point that we’re trying to make here is that spicy food has some nutrients in them that actually contribute to the improvement of a person’s sexual drive. It has been shown that spicy food can help the body metabolize nutrients much more efficiently. It’s only apt that these spicy foods actually bring a lot of “heat” to a relationship, so to speak. Don’t be afraid to reach for those peppers when you’re cooking your next meal.
