How to boost libido

Boosting libido can be approached through various natural methods and lifestyle changes, including:

1. Sunlight Exposure: Getting sunlight on your skin, especially in the afternoon, has been shown to increase libido and feelings of passion and attraction. This effect relates to the skin's role as an endocrine organ, influencing hormone production like testosterone and estrogen. It’s essential to get sun exposure without burning to reap these benefits 1.

2. Supplements:

   • Tongkat Ali: This herb can increase libido by raising levels of free (unbound) testosterone. It has shown effectiveness in enhancing sexual function in both men and women 2 3.

   • Maca Root: Another supplement known to positively impact libido by influencing hormone pathways 2.
   • Tribulus Terrestris: Although results vary, this supplement has been noted to increase libido in certain populations, particularly in postmenopausal women 4.

3. Healthy Fats and Diet: Consuming healthy fats found in foods like avocado, fish, fish oil, and olive oil supports hormone production, including those related to sex drive. Berries, broccoli, ginger, garlic, and chili also aid sexual health by enhancing blood flow and overall hormonal balance. It's also recommended to avoid processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and excessive alcohol, which can dampen libido 5 6 7.

4. Managing Stress and Sleep: Proper sleep and stress management are crucial, as both factors significantly impact hormonal balance and libido. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola can help manage stress, thereby supporting sexual health 5.

5. Additional Considerations: It's essential to check thyroid function and maintain proper hydration, as both can influence libido. Making sure to address any underlying health issues with the help of a healthcare provider is also recommended 8 2.

By integrating these tips into your lifestyle, you can naturally enhance your libido and overall sexual wellness. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
