How about a comprehensive plan for steaming up your love life?

(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Bored in the bedroom? Do you and your partner experience more excitement from watching reality TV than from enjoying each other’s company? Candlelight and romantic music are nice but did you know that your diet and lifestyle might have a more lasting impact on your love life?
“Think about it. When you are in good shape, you feel better about yourself and you’ve got more stamina. It all fits together,” advises JJ Virgin, fitness and nutrition expert to the stars. “Short-term performance solutions may sound inviting, but to put the spark back into your love life day in/day out, there are other simple strategies to consider.”
Living a ‘better sex’ lifestyle
“You can support a more vibrant sex life by changing your lifestyle,” says Virgin. “Get together with your partner and have fun planning ways to turn these 10 simple ideas into lifelong habits.”
1. Honey, call the doctor! “As soon as a couple notices an issue in their love life, they should get over any embarrassment and talk with your doctor,” advises Virgin. “Low libido and/or sexual performance issues can be early warning signs of everything from cardiovascular disease and hypertension to thyroid disease or other hormonal disorders. So the first thing you must do is to have a medical professional rule out an underlying health condition.”
2. Laugh and chill out. “Mother Nature was smart. She didn’t want us having babies during stressful times. Stress lowers testosterone, an important hormone for our libido and performance. Find activities that help relieve stress on a regular basis, and stick with them.”
3. Kick the smoking habit. “Smoking can damage the blood vessels that affect performance.”
4. Think ‘better sex through nutrition’. “Processed foods and high fat diets have been linked to poor sexual performance and libido. So instead of a burger or pizza, choose foods that may help boost libido and arouse passion such as avocados, almonds, basil, dark chocolate and garlic. Who knew that guacamole was an aphrodisiac?”
5. Schedule romance before dinner. “If you’re going to unzip your pants, make sure it’s for reasons of romance – and not because you’re so bloated that it’s either unbutton or risk cutting off circulation. There’s nothing like a big, heavy meal to crush your performance and desire, especially if it includes alcohol.”
6. Men, add a daily supplement to your regimen. “Malaysian men have used Tongkat Ali for centuries. Research indicates that a standardized form of Tongkat Ali called Physta supports male performance and satisfaction. It was developed by MIT in conjunction with the Malaysian government to ensure you get a standardized potency. It’s one of the first products of this type to be backed by clinical research*. Available as Tenaga, it is safe to take just as you would a multi-vitamin or antioxidant.”
7. Dress to impress. “Wearing clothes that make you feel attractive will boost your confidence.”
8. Get fit and maintain a healthy weight. “When you’re in better shape, you feel better about yourself and your stamina increases.”
9. Get plenty of rest. “It makes no sense to make all of these other changes if you’re just going to fall asleep when your head hits the pillow.”
10. Schedule cuddle time. “Too little intimacy can kill your sex drive. Plan out “alone” time together that is non-sexual such as back massages or simply having a quiet talk. Build up your intimacy to build you your sex drive.”
Virgin concludes, “Remember, none of this will cause dramatic overnight changes. So practice, practice, practice!”
