Lost your mojo? , you could be suffering from a low libido. Here’s how to boost your sex drive and feel great in bed again. We all have days when we’re not in the mood for sex.
It’s something I see a lot in clinic. For women, having sex is often far more complicated than just feeling “in the mood”. When we’re spinning so many plates (from children, work, partners and social life, not to mention caring for elderly parents and demanding PTAs), making love is often last on the ‘to-do’ list. But after years of working with people who want to enjoy sex again, I can reveal the majority of low sex drive is due to misfiring hormones. The good news is I specialise in resolving hormonal imbalances so I can help you get your mojo back!
Turn “not tonight”, into every night…
You can also try eating these six sexual energy-boosting foods to turn that ‘not tonight’ into every night…
BROCCOLI
eating this vitamin-C rich vegetable has been shown to boost circulation and sex drive.
WATERMELON
this contains lycopene, citrulline and beta-carotene, which relax blood vessels and creates a natural Viagra effect.
AVOCADOES
packed with nutritious goodies, including desire-boosting potassium and folic acid, which helps with stamina. They also contain vitamin B6, which research shows can decrease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (such as fatigue, bloating and irritability). This might make it easier for you to feel “in the mood”.
EGGS
one of nature’s superfoods, bursting with B vitamins, including B6 that helps balance hormones and beat stress – which means you will be more in the mood.
STEAK
women who have a high sex drive often have higher levels of the ‘male’ hormone testosterone. So fill up on steak – it’s rich in zinc, known to boost libido by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone to the ‘female’ hormone oestrogen.
MACA
a libido-boosting herb from Peru that is proven to boost sex drive as well as fertility thanks to its high iodine and zinc levels. Research into maca has also found it can relieve symptoms associated with the perimenopause, including lack of vaginal lubrication and hot flushes. You can eat maca as a supplement in tablet form or in a powder, which you can add to cereal, soup, yoghurt or - my favourite - a smoothie.
