If you have a lackluster sex life, you have three options. You can leave the situation as it is. You can invest your time and money in questionable methods, or you can naturally improve your sex life.

If you have noticed that your sex life is lackluster, it probably means that you also want improvement in it. This makes option number one unreasonable.

The second option will likely involve the use of sexual enhancement drugs or aphrodisiacs. These methods tend to be supported more heavily by claims than by facts.

This leaves the third and best option—to improve your sex life naturally.

“Our bodies are made of food chemicals, and the energy we use is fueled by food chemicals,’ says Holistic Online.

“When some of these chemicals are lacking, certain parts of our bodies may be incomplete, so they cannot perform the functions they were designed to perform.”

There is a connection between food and sex and it has nothing to do with the allegedly aphrodisiacal effects of certain foods. The connection between food and sex is a matter of good nutrition. Just as your body needs nutrients, so your sex life needs nutrients. Sexual desire and pleasure are largely dependant upon the proper functioning of numerous organs.

Zinc

Zinc could be nicknamed the sex mineral. Studies have shown that zinc is essential to the sexual reproductive system in many ways. Not only can a deficiency prevent both men and women from bearing children, deficiencies can also prevent people from desiring to engage in activities that lead to child bearing.

Women’s Fitness says that “Low levels of zinc have been linked both with poor libido in women and with a low sperm count in men.”

“Other vitamins and minerals help,” says Men’s Health. “But zinc does the heavy lifting.”

This is the reason that people who are interested in having good sex should eat oysters. Forget about their alleged resemblance to genitalia. These shellfish are one of the best sources of zinc. Other foods that a person can eat to obtain this mineral include lamb, peanuts, and legumes.

Serotonin

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that can have a positive or negative impact on a number of functions such as mood and appetite. According to Men’s Health, sexual appetite is included. The magazine says low serotonin levels can cause a man to lack desire and to have paltry ejaculations.

The key to naturally increasing those levels, and thereby your sex drive, is to combine carbohydrates with tryptophan containing foods. These include eggs, nuts and cheese.

Saturated Fats

Just as there are some things that you need, there are also some things that you may want to limit or avoid if your sex drive is lagging. Reader’s Digest says saturated fats are one of them. These fats, when eaten without moderation, can lead to artery blockage.” Without free-flowing circulation, the penis cannot physically respond to messages from the sex drive,” says the magazine’s article titled “Essentials For A Healthy Sex Life”.

Foods to steer clear of when you want to reduce your intake of saturated fats include poultry skin, pork and butter.
