LOOKING AFTER YOUR LIBIDO THIS VALENTINES DAY!
Experiencing low libido is common for many people at some stage in their life. Major contributors to a loss in libido include stress, being overweight, having a sedentary lifestyle, medications/substance abuse and mood disorders.
Exercise is therefore a great way to naturally increase your libido by helping to alleviate stress, reduce weight, improve mood and increase circulation! Try out some exercise classes to find out what you enjoy doing, such as yoga, zumba, aerobics or boxing. Maybe you could exercise with your partner – go for a bike ride or a dancing class.
Eating a whole foods diet is also important, as refined sugars and grains will wreak havoc on your waistline, energy levels and mood. Aim to eat lots of vegetables with a palm size portion of quality protein, and some healthy fats at each meal, such as unrefined coconut oil, organic butter, extra virgin olive oil, avocado or raw nuts/seeds.
There are specific herbs and nutrients which can assist in improving your libido, and are prescribed depending on your individual needs. Ask us for more information.
