Fuel up Your Libido

A healthy relationship involves connecting with confidence. To help maintain that confidence as we age it is imperative that we do all we are able to support our cardiovascular wellness.

Adapt some Mediterranean eating patterns, such as including more extra virgin olive oil as either a regular staple part of your salad dressings and your ticker will appreciate it. The studies are overwhelmingly in support of the health protective benefits of this super oil. It is rich in mono-unsaturated fats and polyphenols shown to lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation and even enhance libido for better erections. Add 1-2 tablespoons daily of extra virgin olive oil for these benefits.
Another great way to pump up your libido, is to eat plenty of red colored fruits such as watermelon and or red grapes. Grapes are loaded with proanthocyanidins with studies showing potentials to elevate nitric oxide levels within the body.

Watermelon is known to be a good source of L-Citrulline, which is an amino acid precusor to L-arginine. Essentially these amino acids are well known to further enhance nitric oxide levels.
