Dietary Advice for Healthy Sexuality and Libido
We have already seen that blood circulation is an important factor for the libido and for harmonious sexuality. It’s also important to recognize that the circulation and the condition of the blood vessels are affected by the quality of the blood that runs through them. If the blood itself is of good quality, the circulation and the vessels will be relatively healthy, and your libido will benefit directly. Thus, we place emphasis on the consumption of healthy foods—fruits and vegetables in particular, as well as whole or partially whole grains—all of which contain fibers that promote good blood circulation while also improving the quality of the blood.
Good-quality oils containing essential fatty acids help to enrich tissues and organs and benefit a variety of body functions. Essential fatty acids can be found in “extra virgin” (first cold press) oils and in fish such as tuna (red or white), mackerel, halibut, and salmon. Also, if you can incorporate organic or biodynamic produce into your diet—even just a few days a week—you will notice the difference in your libido and the renewed sexuality that results from the rich nutritional value of these products. Never forget that you get out of your body what you put into it. Do not demand excellent health of a body that has been exhausted by the incessant strains of a chronically poor diet. If you run a car on the cheapest, lowest-quality fuel, you can obviously expect it to function poorly. It is the same for your body.
Due to the polluted nature of the world in which we live, our bodies are weighed down by toxins no matter how cleanly we eat. Perhaps the only way to purge these toxins completely is by fasting, which should be practiced only under a specialist’s supervision. Many people who have tried this method of cleansing will testify that it restores sexual vigor and overall vitality. An annual grape monodiet is another good method of detoxification and purification for someone with a deficient libido.
