The Connection Between Metabolism And Sex Drive
When your metabolic health lags, so does your system overall, from energy and mental clarity to hormone health and sleep.
A lesser known effect of a slowing metabolism? A low libido!
The way the body produces and manages energy (aka, your metabolism) impacts blood flow (key to an erection and clitoral and vaginal arousal), sex hormone levels (like testosterone and estrogen), and your psychology (mood, motivation, and reward), all of which impact sexual function and the experience of sex.
From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, your body is fully connected and has priorities, the most important one of them being, survival. If you're feeling stressed or you're not exercising, your body will try to conserve energy by storing it, slowing your metabolism. When your body is in that kind of "survival mode," you better believe that sex isn't a priority. So in order to increase your orgasmic potential from head to toe, and support the creative life force that is your sexual drive and sacral energy, you need to show love to your metabolism.
While metabolic syndrome (characterized by insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) and sexual dysfunction can be independent, the two are often linked. And, with a mindblowing 88% of Americans classified as “metabolically unhealthy,” many of our sex drives are suffering.
To nourish your metabolism, you can lean on a diverse diet of high-quality, technicolor, plant food, rich in the vital nutrients that help support your gut, manage blood sugar, ease inflammation, and balance hormones.
And yes, why not use food for foreplay?
When your body and all its magnificent systems work in harmony, a healthy metabolism manifests, and your libido has exactly what it needs to thrive.
Go even a step further and turn things up a notch, by weaving in aphrodisiacs, like watermelon, beets, raw cacao, maca root, chili, and fenugreek.
