At some point in life, the majority of men realize that their sex drive is waning. Lackluster libido occurs for a variety of reasons both physical and emotional. The most common culprit is drooping testosterone levels, which happens as men begin to age. After the age of 30, testosterone production decreases by 1-2% a year. It may not have a noticeable effect at first, but by the time men reach the age of 40, it may begin to decrease sex drive significantly.

If this happens to you, don’t panic. There are steps you can take to rejuvenate your libido and it doesn’t have to be using little blue pills. Natural remedies are often the best way to kick-start your sex drive. Here are some strategies that have helped other men regain their lost libido.

Start Exercising More

One benefit of exercise is improved blood circulation and good blood flow to the genitals is essential for a strong libido. Exercise also helps build self-esteem and a healthy dose of self-esteem is always good for libido.

Eat Right

Giving your body the proper fuel helps it reach peak performance. It’s important to eat a minimum of five fruits and vegetables a day and more is even better. Vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals are necessary for healthy blood circulation and unrestricted blood circulation is necessary to nurture a healthy libido.

Lose Weight

A few extra pounds may not have much effect on your sexual abilities but more than that can damage your self-esteem and cause blood vessels to restrict, inhibiting blood flow to the genitals.

Quit Smoking

Smoking has strong negative effects on the circulatory system because it causes blood vessels to narrow, restricting circulation to the sex organs. Are you beginning to see a pattern here? Poor circulation plays a major role in decreased libido.
Drink in Moderation
This is not to say you have to give up drinking altogether. Alcohol can help you to relax and decrease anxiety, so one or two drinks may make you feel more like having sex. Remember, though, alcohol is a depressant and excess amounts can keep some body parts from being able to rise to the occasion.

Eat Maca

Maca is a food that is related to radishes and looks something like turnips. It grows only in the highest elevations of Peru and Ecuador but you can buy it online or at health food stores. This root vegetable is packed full of vitamins, calcium, minerals, and antioxidants and is considered something of a wonder food because it is so rich in nutrition. It helps to balance hormones and encourages the production of semen and testosterone, so some Maca a day makes a man ready to play.

You can get Maca in the form of pills, tablets, tinctures, or powders.

Use Herbal Remedies

Several herbal products help improve blood circulation and increase libido. Some of those are ginkgo biloba, Korean ginseng, Saw palmetto, and epimedium, aka horny goat weed.

These natural remedies will boost your libido without having to turn to chemically laden medications. Try them out; take care of your health, get plenty of rest, and soon you’ll feel your sex drive making a full recovery.
