Low libido is common in menopause and affects more than 51% women ac-cording to a British Menopause Society survey.
Lower oestrogen levels are to blame, not helped by stress, weight gain and poor sleep.
However, your libido is an indicator of your vitality and a source of great crea-tivity – so is definitely worth fighting for.
When your oestrogen level falls in menopause this causes decreased blood flow and a whole lot of less pleasure!
Here’s 3 ways to getting your blood pumping and feeling sexy and confident again
1. Eat more oestrogen-mimicking foods.
Flaxseeds, sesame seeds, broccoli sprouts, edamame beans and nuts are na-ture’s finest way of increasing your oestrogen levels naturally.
2. Sex-ercise
Add in strength-building core exercises to your workout routine [sex is exer-cise]. This is vital for getting your blood pumping and getting in the mood.
3. Supplements + Herbs
Maca, red clover, ashwagandha and red ginseng are great for libido. Ginger, thyme, and turmeric improve blood flow and Siberian rhubarb activates your oestrogen receptors.
