D.R.E.A.M. - Simple Steps For A Sexier You

D is for DIET

• Sexual energy (life force) or chi is in our kidneys so keep them strong and healthy. Some ways to do this include eating: molasses in warm water, well cooked tofu, walnuts, eggs, shrimp, mussels, lobster, oysters, lamb, beef, ocean fish, dark mushrooms, blueberries, olives, miso, celery

• 43 per cent more sperm is created in men that eat organic according to The Lancet proving that diet does play a key role in sexual health.

• Don’t eat fried foods, creams, excess sugar, salt, saturated fat or highly processed foods. These make it harder for you to reach orgasm. Tobacco, alcohol and coffee leech nutrients from your body and dampen desire!! Doesn’t that give you even more incentive to change habits you know are bad for you?

• Some foods are have an aphrodisiac effect because they are phallic like asparagus (can calm the nerves, aids in digestion) and bananas. Some are like the vulva such as oysters, peaches, figs or papaya – can you think of any others?

• Magical chocolate contains phenylethylamine which raises endorphins (our natural anti-depressants). Go for the dark, organic stuff !

• A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and lean protein will keep your organs in peak condition for lovemaking according to National College of Naturopathic Medicine.

• When low in energy, head for the bedroom not the fridge!

Ris for REST

• Making love helps you relax and get to sleep. The endorphins released will help to calm you.

• Anne Hooper says “Sleep is a beauty treatment”. When your body is at rest is when it heals, recuperates, builds and repairs, and even removes fluids from skin so we glow youthfully.

• Your habits and sleeping environment deeply affect your ability to relax and sleep - so look around your bedroom!
