At various stages in life, many people experience a dip in their sex drive. This can be simply caused by advancing age, although lifestyle factors also play a role. Thankfully, it’s often possible to enhance your libido with a few simple strategies.
Here’s what you can do to boost your sex drive:
Get Moving
You’ve probably heard that exercise is a pillar of overall health. But, you may not have heard that it’s a natural way to increase your sex drive! Physical activity provides a natural boost of testosterone, a key sex hormone that contributes to libido, particularly in men.
Exercise also increases levels of endorphins, a type of brain chemical that naturally improves your mood and can help reduce stress. These benefits may put you in the right mindset for sex.
Improve Your Diet
Eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet may boost your sex drive by improving your overall health. A good diet contributes to healthy circulation and heart function, both of which may improve your sexual health. Additionally, eating well may bring you a greater sense of vitality, which can help in the bedroom.
Manage Stress
Stress can quickly dampen your sex drive and make it difficult to enjoy intimate experiences. Stress management strategies like meditation, journaling, deep breathing, and exercise are all great ways to enhance your libido if you struggle to achieve a relaxed mindset for sex.
Optimize Your Hormones
Low sex drive can be a sign of a hormonal imbalance. Often, declining sex hormone levels due to age lead to decreased sex drive in older adults. Hormone optimization with bio-identical hormone therapy can re-balance your body and help you overcome low libido.
