Change your diet

Forget chocolate as an aphrodisiac: if your libido is lacking it could be fruit and vegetables that you need. Iron carries oxygen to all cells in the body and is needed for arousal, B vitamins help you feel good, in particular,B6, which helps regulate sex hormone functions. Calcium is required for the muscle contraction associated with orgasm, essential fatty acids are needed for acute senses, and chromium is needed for energy and libido. However, it’s not uncommon for modern women to be short of one if not all of these nutrients. A good healthy diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, is a good place to start, but see In Bed With The Food Doctors by Ian Barber and Vicky Edgson, (Collins And Brown, £14.99) for specific suggestions.
