Here’s how to boost your libido and erections with food, herbs and lifestyle

You can’t always be “on,” and that applies equally to your sex drive. It is normal for your libido or performance in bed to be down from time to time. But if your proverbial fire goes out structurally, you’ll want to do something about it. And you don’t have to go straight to the doctor to do so. Did you know that nutrition and lifestyle can play a major role in lust, desire and erection quality? In this blog you will discover which foods, supplements and herbs can help you. And yes, some of them can be found in your kitchen cupboard.

It can be very simple to increase your libido: just make smart food choices! Especially plant-based foods are good for your sex life, lust, and erections. The Mediterranean diet is the very best foods for strong erections. And for your overall health, for that matter.

Above all, eat these products:

• Lots of fruits and vegetables: rich in antioxidants and vitamins
• Whole grain products: support stable blood sugar levels
• Beans and legumes: rich in zinc and plant proteins
• Unprocessed nuts and seeds: healthy fats for your hormones
• Oily fish: because of the omega-3 for better blood flow
• Healthy oils such as olive oil: anti-inflammatory and hormone supportive

And prefer to eat a little less of it:

• Cheese and dairy: can disrupt hormone balance
• Sugar: bad for your blood sugar and libido
• Red and processed meat: detrimental to your vascular health

Some vitamins are essential for your sex life. Take vitamin C for example: it boosts your blood flow, which directly contributes to a better erection. So kiwis, broccoli, citrus fruits and strawberries are highly recommended. Celery is also an interesting vegetable. From research shows that it helps dilate your blood vessels and possibly stimulates sexual desire.

Lust-inducing herbs, also called natural aphrodisiacs, often have a long history of use. Maca is a good example of this. Also Damiana, Muira puama and Ginseng have been known for centuries for their aphrodisiac properties. Not for nothing are these herbs also in products such as:

• Libido Xtra
• Sexy Me
• Royal S

Truffles do not work as a classic libido enhancer, but they can contribute to relaxation and connection. In the Happy Tea Truffle Set contains not only truffles but also cordyceps, maca and damiana – a powerful blend for extra perception, relaxation and energy.

Stress, poor sleep, smoking, medication use or relationship problems can all suppress your libido. Fortunately, you can do a lot yourself to give your sex life a positive boost:

• Quit (or mindeer) smoking
• Eat as much unprocessed and high-fiber food as possible
• Exercise daily – even short walks help
• De-stress consciously – through nature, meditation or therapy
• Work on your relationship – emotional connection is key
• Get enough sleep – essential for hormones and energy

Use natural remedies wisely. Maca and ginseng can affect your heart rate or blood pressure. Never combine supplements with alcohol or medication without expert advice. Start with a low dose and build up.
