Libido Enhancing Foods

Sex is really about circulation.

Think of the last time you made love, your blood vessels dilated, your face flushed, body and senses on fire.

You may have felt tired or stressed beforehand, but afterwards you felt relaxed, calm and alive, even high, as if some invisible life force was just pumped into your body, awakening every cell of your being…

When you have good circulation in your body, and in your life, you also tend to have a healthy sex drive and abundant sexual energy.

You can choose to direct this vital energy to share love with your partner, to create art, a business project, or the life you have envisioned.

It’s no wonder, then, that things that block the healthy flow of energy in your body and in your life also tend to kill your sex drive.

Some common causes of low libido include stress, unresolved issues, hormone imbalance, too little sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, recreational drugs and certain medications.

If you experience low libido and want to improve your sexual energy, you may want to look at your health and your life in general to see what may be blocking the healthy flow.
