A healthy sex-drive is one thing most of us consider essential to living a good life.  But what if you are feeling a bit underwhelmed in the bedroom, and it has nothing to do with your partner?  Feeling like your sex drive just isn’t what it used to be can be both frustrating and uncomfortable, especially when the underlying causes can vary dramatically. 

We are here to give you some of the top mood killers, and ways to fight back!

1. Sex-drive Killer: Alcohol

How to fight it? Drink in moderation: By reducing anxiety and stress one drink can help get you in the mood for sex; but beware, alcohol is a depressant, too much booze and you can end up with quite the opposite problem.

2. Sex Drive Killer: Lack of desire

How to fight it? Try Aphrodisiacs: Often they are foods that look sexually suggestive like asparagus. Others, like oysters, gain their love-inducing reputation by containing antioxidants and trace elements necessary for good sexual functioning. For example, oysters are packed with zinc, a mineral central to fertility.

3. Sex-drive Killer: Smoking

How to fight it? Stop Smoking: It's well known that smoking can have a terrible effect on blood flow to the sexual organs as it causes the blood vessels to narrow. It also saps your stamina and most people don't like kissing an ashtray.

4. Sex drive killer: Sedentary lifestyle

How to fight it? Exercise: Moderate regular exercise will help improve blood flow to the sexual organs. In addition, exercise helps you feel good about yourself. Anything that improves self-esteem will improve libido.

5. Sex-drive killer: Belly Fat

How to fight it? Lose Weight: Being overweight can affect not only your self-esteem and your feelings of sexuality but you're likely to suffer from blood vessel disease which can reduce essential blood flow to the genitals

6. Sex-drive killer: Unhealthy eating

How to fight it? Eat the Right Things: If your body becomes frail due to bad health, sex invariably suffers. 5-9 fruits and vegetables a day can provide the cornerstone to your health. The vitamins and antioxidants will help maintain good blood flow to the sex organs and prevent certain chronic diseases.
