Yes, we are going to talk about S E X. Today I was in the audience in the Katie Couric Show and you have to believe me when I tell you that I didn’t know that the topic was going to be about sex. But I was pleasantly surprised.
On the panel discussion, there was a physician that specializes in women’s health, a sex therapist and a male OB-GYN and later on the show there was a lifestyle coach who writes for women and men’s health magazines. The show will air on July 24th, so check your local TV station for the time. And look for me, I’ll be on the front row!
So guess what I learned? 5 natural ways to boost your libido!
- The first one is red wine! Red wine is known to increase longevity. But did you know one of the ingredients in red wine, resveratrol, is known to relax the body, therefore it increases your libido. For health reason, it’s better for women not to drink no more than 1 or 2 glasses of red wine a day. A great concentrated source of resveratrol is in Shaklee’s Vivix. One teaspoon of Vixix equals to 100 glasses of red wine. The average glass of even the highest quality wine contains about 1mg of resveratrol per glass. One teaspoon of Vivix would give you 100 X that amount!
- Dark chocolate, but we all knew that! 70% or more has magnesium which helps dilate and relax your body and increase the libido. However, unlimited amount of dark chocolate is not recommended due to its high fat content, which can affect your blood sugar, and make you depress.
- The next one is ginseng. It’s an antioxidant which supports your body energy and enhances your stamina. If you feel fatigue, you will not really be interested in sex. I recommend Shaklee’s CorEnergy to my clients, which contains ginseng root extract, which supports the body’s ability to maintain energy and enhance stamina.
- Watermelon…this super-sweet fruit is a sex-booster. This cool, juicy fruit contains an amino acid called l-citrulline, which helps relax and dilate blood vessels, which increases blood flow to sexual organs and contributes to a hotter climax. Here are additional foods to help you improve your sex life.
- And finally, eating well, exercising, and taking care & pride of your body, will make you feel good and sexy. Men take note: for women, foreplay is everything that happens in the 24 hours BEFORE intercourse. She needs to feel comfortable and loving towards you and know that everything is alright.
In conclusion, I find that the best approach is a holistic approach to increase your libido. So if you are ready to increase your libido, health coaching can be a first step and other things such as the ones noted above or going for couple therapy, or a sex therapy or talking with your OB-GYN can also help. In addition, there are new medications coming available, but with a holistic approach there are no side effects, only side benefits that will affect your whole life.
Cheers!
