Part and parcel of a healthy lifestyle is to have a balanced diet, plenty of exercise and a fantastic sex life.
The internet is full of faddy diets, new workout routines and of course libido boosting pills and potions. The more health conscious among us will know the benefits of clean healthy living, whether this be through diet choice or the decision to only use natural based supplements – with this being said, if you want to supercharge your sex drive, is there a natural solution?
The answer is yes and you are probably going to be in for a shock when you hear it.
When life gives you lemons, enjoy great sex!
Yes, that’s right, lemons!
Adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice to your water could be the natural solution to your low libido.
We’ve touched on the importance of staying hydrated before so you are well aware of the benefits of water on our sex lives but what happens to our sex drive when we drink lemon water?
Increased blood flow
Lemon water is the best option for your body.
First of all, adding lemon water to your diet soothes the symptoms of constipation, is an anti-inflammatory and increases your overall blood flow (much like our award winning hydropumps). Blood flow is one of the most important things when we talk about our sex drive and how well we can function in the bedroom! Amazing blood flow is linked to erection quality, stamina and pleasure.
When it comes to sex, lemon water is better than drinking just water alone.
Dehydration affects your libido because it is connected with blood flow. So pay attention, your body will send signals when you are dehydrated – try not to miss them! Sometimes we do not recognise the signs that our body sends us.
Replaces sugar
Sometimes we mistake being thirsty for being hungry and this is the key stage when you should start thinking about drinking lemon water. Lemon water is perfect for those of us who do not like the “taste” of water alone. It’s also great for people who want to become healthier by cutting out those fizzy, sugary pop drinks.
Upon waking grab your self some freshly squeezed lemon juice and water and you will start the day in the best way possible.
When you feel that you look better, your sex drive is higher. Confidence is infectious – Lemon water does a number of things to increase it – it helps your skin because of its high levels of vitamin C (which also reduces the sign of wrinkles), defends dry skin from aging and from sun damage.
Drinking lemon water makes you look and feel better and that is why libido is increased!
Boosts sex drive
Lemon water is great for your sex drive because it helps your mental health.
Lemon has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions that work against several degenerative conditions and even some brain diseases.
Your libido can be fragile so you have to do your best to take care of it. Stress, depression and anxiety affect our mental health, this is turn has a disastrous effect on your libido.
Drinking lemon water makes you feel calmer and happier. Your mood affects your libido because your brain is vulnerable to oxidative damage because of its high oxygen consuming metabolic rate. That is why ascorbic acid helps you with oxidative stress in the brain and is the significant and the most effective supplement to regain inner balance.
Vitamin C is the most well-known vitamin on the planet but not everybody links it to fertility. Lemon has a lot of vitamin C that is an antioxidant. Drinking lemon water helps your body cells to repair themselves. Guys have you ever thought about what makes up your sperm? The fluid that mixes with sperm is called seminal plasma and it contains a high concentration of vitamin C. The more vitamin C in your body, the better quality of your sperm.
Lemon water protects your kidneys from kidney stones and you from pain during sex and urinating.
Pain reliever
Lemons have the highest concentration of citrate.
It is one of the natural inhibitors of kidney stone formation. When you suffer from pain during sex then your libido will naturally suffer. The same situation happens when you try to urinate, pain, pain, pain.
Drinking lemon water twice a day decreases the rate of the stone formation. Normally, we do not connect libido with kidney health but the connection between pain and pleasure is obvious. Lemon water will help you to control your sex drive and protects you from feeling pain because of kidney stones. Your weight also affects your libido. Unnecessary stones, low metabolism, low energy – all sex drive killers.
Here we have another advantage of drinking lemon water. The drink boosts your metabolism and your body is able to burn fat quicker. Proper hydration enhances the function of mitochondria.
Mitochondria are types of organelle (tiny cell structures) that help generate energy for the body. In other words, the more lemon water you drink, the more energy your body will have and the faster you lose weight! Losing weight will make you feel happier about your body, feeling sexy boosts our sex drive.
Metabolism is also about thermogenesis. It is a special process in our bodies that uses calories to produces heat and energy. Lemon water helps our body to burn more fat.
Optimize testosterone
Lemon water helps optimizing your testosterone levels. Lemon contains vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6 that affects testosterone.
Low levels of testosterone (the male hormone) can cause less interest in sex and also in some cases, erection problems. Erectile problems not only cause issues with your libido but also affects your mental health.
Drinking lemon water more than once a day can optimize testosterone levels and boost your sex drive.
As we see, lemon water is an incredible drink – tastes awesome, takes care our health and most importantly increases our sex drive. So add a little lemon to your water today!
