Her.ie Health Revolution: All You Need To Know About Boosting Your Libido

Everyone can feel sluggish and let’s face it not very sexy in January. If you overindulged on Christmas calories it might be making you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. So what can you do about it?

Regular exercise and eating a healthy diet will both make you feel better about your body but there are other small things that you can do to get you and your man back on track and running to the boudoir!

Pomegranates have, for as far back in time as the ancient Greeks, been synonymous with romance and temptation.  The health benefits for your man eating oysters are well known but the connection with pomegranates has been a well guarded secret!

Pomegranates are the “King” of performance enhancing fruit and will help to put romps back on the agenda.  A recent study by the University of California, published in the International Journal of Impotence Research, revealed that a glass of pomegranate juice a day can be almost as potent as Viagra. Ooer!  As part of the study, 52 men with impotence problems drank pomegranate juice daily for one month with almost 50% of the participants seeing their sexual performance improve. So start in preparation of next month’s celebration of all things love get your man drinking a glass of this exotic juice to reap the rewards before Valentine’s Day. 

And bonus, the benefits extend beyond the bedroom. Pomegranates are high in antioxidants so are good for all the family. However, they are particularly beneficial for typical male health issues such as heart disease. Recent research has revealed that pomegranate juice slows down cholesterol and the hardening of arteries by almost half.  It also reduces the amount of “bad” cholesterol that your body retains.
