Your Sexual Health
Your
Diet and Healthy Sex
Eating
foods that contain high fat and calories have no beneficial
value to the body. In fact, these foods
will eventually leave you feeling sluggish, tired, and unhealthy.
Most people feel that their sex life is much the same way.
Experiencing orgasms and the pleasure from the sexual experience,
affects the mental and physical health in both positive and
negative ways. If you eat foods that are not good for your
body, the body will not function to your liking. The same will
happen if you neglect the sexual aspect of your body. The sexual
experience profoundly affects a person completely in mind,
soul, and body. You feel energized. You feel happy, as if you
can do anything and the world is at your feet. There are times
though, that you are exhausted and sex is the farthest thing
from your minds. Your life will suffer greatly if you continue
to think of sex as something you will get to when you feel
like it. If you continue to live in this fashion, it will become
more difficult to put the fire back in your intimate life.
Just as when you let your body decline, the harder it is to
get them back in shape. It takes a lot of dedication and hard
work.
Did
you know that zinc is a very important vitamin in regards
to your sexual health? It is, and many foods that have zinc
in them live in the ocean. This may be the reason that oysters
have been known as an aphrodisiac. The feeling may not be from
the oyster at all, but the zinc that is found in the oyster.
Keeping your body fit, exercising, and getting adequate rest
makes for the best aphrodisiac. When your body feels good and
you are rested, you can fully engage in the sexual experience
and glow in the pleasure it brings to you. When you engage
in sex, afterwards you feel relaxed, de-stressed. You feel
almost as if whatever was bothering you beforehand is tolerable
and within reach. Sex is a great reliever of stress and you
all know that stress can kill. Stress is a leading factor in
heart diseases and other medical conditions. If you have ever
been to a doctor for an illness, one of the questions they
ask you is how you are handling stress.
Zinc is not only an aphrodisiac; it also has properties that
increase fertility, heighten the senses, and regulates sperm
function. Bananas and strawberries have properties that improve
sexual stamina and figs aid in fertility. Several other foods
are high in zinc and that aid in soft supple skin. Some foods
to consider adding to your diet:
- Chicken
- Asparagus
- Almonds
- Red Meats
- Avocados
- Brown rice
- Soy
- Camembert cheese
- Tomatoes
- Chili peppers
- Ginger
The
above list of foods aids in increasing sperm count, antioxidants,
improves circulation, and stimulates nerve endings; of course,
all of these can greatly enhance sexual pleasure. Therefore,
when you eat right, you feel great. Then you want to enjoy
great sex. Most people want to have great sex that makes us
feel even better. There is no downside to this.
Several herbs available enhance sexual pleasure. These herbs
can be found in your local grocery store or at an herbal specialty
shop. Many of these ingredients are also available in pre-packaged
teas. The most common place to find herbal health teas is the
whole food section of your local grocery store or specialty
grocer that specializes in herbal remedies. Here are a list
of some easy access herbs that have great effects on libido
and sexual health.
