Fun fact #4: magnesium and SEX The nutrients you need the most to support your sex drive: • B Vitamins support your adrenal glands by preventing the breakdown of too much dopamine and serotonin during stressful times, leaving enough for us to remain buoyant and energized. Where to source: liver, meat, eggs, DAIRY *gasp*, and soaked nuts, seeds, and legumes. • Zinc helps to boost your testosterone production and prevents testosterone from being turned into estrogen by blocking the enzyme responsible. Where to source: OYSTAS • Omega-3 fatty acids help balance out your sex hormones, which in turn will increase dopamine, and help you produce more nitric oxide. This is absolutely essential for the dilation of blo0od vessels and tumescence that leads to bigger and better orgasms. Where to source: fish - but excess polyunsaturated fat in fish (where most omega 3’s come from) can be VERY damaging to our bodies, so be careful with how much omega 3 you take! • Magnesium makes it harder for your testosterone to bind onto proteins and allows for more of it to remain “free” in your bloodstream – which is exactly how you want it to be for a higher sex drive. Higher levels of free testosterone make for more desire. Magnesium also combats anxiety and prevents depressive feelings, helping you enjoy yourself more. Where to source: Dark chocolate, THE EATH! Did you know that the more time you spend in dirt and clean, freshwater, the more magnesium you have? So if you’re by the ocean, go for a swim. If you’re on a hike, take your shoes off for a bit and enjoy what that feels like. Magnesium is really hard to get through a diet that focuses on nutrient-dense foods over anti-nutrient food (greens, but that’s for another time :D) But it’s apparent that we have always needed magnesium in order to live or else it wouldn’t have stayed with us all these years. So how did our ancestors get magnesium when chocolate wasn’t around? Being in nature barefoot! Swimming, hunting, sunbathing, etc etc etc :) I also put magnesium oil around my lower stomach when I’m having cramps from my period. If your partner struggles with cramps during their cycle, offer to massage the sore area with magnesium oil! It’s super great for her AND your intimacy together
