Sex is not just about pleasure and reproduction, it has several health benefits. But, unhealthy lifestyles can affect the sex lives of many young couples.
Here are some lifestyle changes that can make sex life better:
1. Start exercising: Regular exercises will improve sex life. Exercises like running, walking, swimming and dance will ensure sufficient blood flow to your genital areas. Exercises like abdominal crunches, leg lunges and push-ups will make your muscles strong and make you a better lover. Additionally, exercising will release ‘feel-good’ endorphins that will make you feel happier.
Smoking can affect your sex life in more ways than one. It can decrease blood flow to the penis, make you feel stressed and lower your stamina. Also, research has found that it reduces sexual desire in men. If you are a smoker, try quitting smoking and see how your libido experiences a sharp rise. As for alcohol, a glass of wine may help you relax but anything more and your performance in bed will suffer.
2. Right food: Eat a balanced and rich food. If you are short on energy and stamina, then consider eating bananas and strawberries. If you have stress, then consider having a glass of red wine.\
