I’m going to talk about sex because I get many questions from women who notice their sex drive isn’t what it used to be as they begin experiencing hormonal changes.
Even if you’re not in menopause yet, keep reading because as the old saying goes, “nothing is guaranteed but death, taxes and menopause.”
OK, so menopause wasn’t mentioned, but if it weren’t such a taboo subject it would have been!!
I read in a recent poll that 40% of women stated they had not had sex in over 6 months and that 75% of women polled said they weren’t having enough sex.
Getting healthy is the best way to supercharge your sex life and start feeling sexy again.
Getting healthier will reverse aging and bring your sex life back on track.
And when I talk about getting healthier, I’m referring to getting your hormones balanced again. You see, one of the main reasons you age prematurely and lose your sex drive is an imbalance in your hormones.
This can be caused by many different factors but the most common are eating junk food and general lack of good nutrition, eating too much meat and milk, stress, lack of exercise, and living in a toxic body.
A hormone imbalance can also contribute to depression, anxiety, fatigue, endometriosis, hair loss, facial hair growth, and osteoporosis.
So if not feeling like you’re in the mood for sex isn’t much of a motivator for getting those hormones balanced, maybe one of these other potential outcomes of hormone imbalance will motivate you!
Having more sex will also help you live longer, look younger, feel better and experience a happier mood state.
I wish I made all that up because it sounds so good, but in fact a recent study at Scotland’s Royal Edinburgh Hospital concluded that more sex slows the aging process. Many other studies also show through the use of CT scans that during orgasm, the areas of the brain that involve fear, anxiety, depression and other “negative” emotions are deactivated. I interpret this to mean that sex and orgasms really relax you and help you to let yourself go.
Three herbs in particular are popular when going the herbal route to balancing hormones for increased sex drive. They are Dong Quai Root, Chaste Tree Berry and Wild Yam Root.
These three powerful herbs are thought to affect the pituitary and hypothalamus in the brain, which both control the manufacture and release of hormones from the ovaries through the release of metabolic chemicals.
Licorice Root and Hops Flowers have also been used to treat hormonal imbalances. They also give you the sense of well being.
Of course it is important to get healthy and stay FIT.
So here are three simple steps to improving your sex life based on what I’ve covered.
1. RELAX. Do not be afraid to discuss how you’re feeling with your sex partner. How can you expect to enjoy sex without any communication with your partner? Talk and share what’s going on.
2. Herbs can be used as sexual stimulants. They both increase circulation to the sexual organs and boost up the hormones. Herbal formulas are one option for firing up your sex drive.
3. Get HEALTHY! When you are healthy and fit you naturally feel sexy and want to have more sex. A healthy lifestyle that includes nutrition, exercise and stress management (and the kinds of things we talk about each week in this blog) is the key to balancing hormones and experiencing a fulfilling sex life.
Vitality and passion are yours for the taking, so take good care of yourself (and your hormones) and the rest will follow!
