Incorporating The Right Nutrients To Promote Sexual Health

Increase vitamin C. Vitamin C is believed to help increase libido and blood flow. Vitamin C is especially important for women because it can help promote female sexual stimulation and health.

Increase vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for male and female sex hormone production. It helps female reproductive cycles and can help with male sexual health by promoting healthy sperm.

Check for an iron deficiency. Iron deficiencies in women might have negative effects on their sexual health. Low iron levels can lower the libido, lessen the chances of an orgasm, and reduce lubrication.

·         You only need about 20 milligrams of iron a day. You can find iron in lean red meats, chicken, pork, leafy green vegetables, and beans.

Add zinc. Zinc helps reduce protactinium, which can suppress the libido.  It also helps promote healthy levels of testosterone, which is important for men and women.
