 Improve your libidoby mike roger It’s natural for a man’s sexual performance, even if he’s as fit as a triathlete, to have its ups and downs. There never seems to be a convenient time to have a “down” period, but there are ways to make sure you’re always at attention when the call to duty comes. Research has found that what you put into your mouth has the power to lift your spirits--and certain parts of your anatomy. And while some foods can boost your mood and make you feel like Barry White on Spanish fly, others can cause your libido to wilt like a Third World economy. “You can be a sexual dynamo at any age,” assures Ann Louise Gittleman, M.S., C.N.S., author of Super Nutrition for Men, who says that there's a definite connection between diet and sexuality: Simply, if you don't have enough energy, you won’t perform well. But before you empty the entire contents of your refrigerator into your mouth in search of the pompotous of love, digest the food chemistry Gittleman believes works best. Pumping Up With Protein To shed the Clark Kent mantle and become a real Man of Steel, forego exotic rhino-horn powders and bullfrog-uvula extracts. Instead, focus on clean, well-balanced foods that will provide you with the nutrients and energy necessary to please your significant other. “You need to have a proper balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat,” says Gittleman. “I recommend a 40-30-30 ratio, because with too many carbs your energy goes south, and not to the point you want it to go.” In other words, your blood sugar can bottom out and you may experience headaches, fatigue, mood swings and insomnia, all of which add up to one lackluster night in the bedroom. You also need to make certain you’re eating plenty of protein, such as eggs, fish, meats and poultry. “Amino acids--the building blocks of protein--help to increase sperm count as well as affect the neurotransmitters that develop the energy to actually become interested in sex,” says Stephen Sinatra, M.D., medical director of Eastern Connecticut Health Network and author of Optimum Health. Protein also stabilizes blood sugar and reduces mood swings and lethargy, which will keep you from saying the dreaded words: “Not tonight, honey.” “An intake of the right kinds of essential fatty acids will help the body produce tissue-like hormones called prostaglandins, a form of eicosanoid, which regulate sexual response,” says Gittleman. These fatty acids fuel the reproductive organs; without them, infertility or insufficient ejaculate can result. To heighten sexual response, Gittleman recommends 500 to 3,000 milligrams per day of omega-6 EFA or GLA (gamma linolenic acid), found in evening primrose oil and borage oil (you can add it to a protein smoothie). Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as salmon, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds and eggs enriched with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid), can help you beat the blues and get in the mood. Vitamin Amore “Nearly half of the selenium in a man’s body can be found in his testicles and in a portion of the seminal ducts alongside the prostate gland,” says Gittleman, who advises taking 200 micrograms a day or foraging for such selenium-rich foods as wheat germ, garlic, whole grains, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds and tuna. Vitamin E, long thought of as the “sex vitamin,” is also an antioxidant. When erect, the penis is engorged with blood that carries vital oxygen. Vitamin E protects this oxygen-rich blood from becoming filled with free radicals, in addition to helping the heart during sex. Since it is almost impossible to get enough vitamin E from food, Gittleman advises supplementing at least 400 IU each day, as well as eating such foods as wheat germ, nuts, seeds and flaxseed oil. Food for the Mood Just as the best sex can occur at the unlikeliest of moments, some of the best sex enhancers are common, everyday foods. For instance, Sinatra refers to the common peanut as “dietary Viagra.” “Peanuts are rich in L-arginine, which causes vasodilatation in blood vessels, stimulating sexual erection,” he says. He recommends four to eight grams, about two cups, in the evening. Long touted as an aphrodisiac and reportedly devoured by Casanova, chocolate is given on Valentine’s Day for a very good reason. “It stimulates the hormone phenylethylamine, causing your body’s endorphine levels to rise, giving you a feeling similar to falling in love,” says Sinatra. Sex Busters Alcohol, grapefruits, soy, diet sodas, margarine, cookies, white bread, sugar cereals, sugar-free Jell-O, cakes. Sex Boosters Oysters, peanuts, DHA-enriched eggs, black pepper, whey protein, wild oats, chocolate, wheat germ, flaxseed oil, garlic. Like anything else in your life, your libido is subject to your mood, stress levels, diet and overall health. Levels of desire naturally cycle in peaks and troughs, so don’t contemplate the priesthood just because you’re having a tame week. However, if a problem persists, be sure to check with your doctor. Chronic difficulty can be a sign of greater health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or mood disorders. For the most part, a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise, a clean diet and low stress will keep you bird-dogging everyone from the sorority girls at your college to the nurses in your retirement home.
