What female wouldn’t want to eat food or foods that are good for women’s health?

Fast food or health food?

Is there nothing better than a romantic candle lit, home-cooked dinner for your libido?

Healthy food with food recipes to indulge your R-rated senses helping you to turn-up the heat…

“There’s a growing body of evidence that some of the vitamins and components in foods can enhance sexual function and sexual experience,” says Jennifer R. Berman, MD, the director of the Berman Women’s Wellness Center, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Here are some of the aphrodisiac foods (and my own favorite food recipes) that have been major players for our “female libido“.

Arugula has been heralded as an arousal aid since the first century.

Today, research reveals the trace minerals and antioxidants packed into dark, leafy greens are essential for women libido…

As well as health because they help block absorption of some of the environmental contaminants thought to negatively impact our libido.

The Aztecs referred to avocados as, ahem, testicles, because of their physical shape.

But the scientific reason why avocados make sense as an aphrodisiac is they’re rich in unsaturated fats and low in saturated fat, making them good for your heart and arteries.

Anything that keeps the heart beating strong helps keep blood flowing to all the right places.

Topping my list of feisty foods, almonds have long been linked to increased passion, act as a sexual stimulant, and aid with fertility.

Like asparagus (another one of my favorite sexy foods), almonds are nutrient-dense and rich in several trace minerals important for sexual health and reproduction.

Almonds contain zinc, selenium and vitamin E.

“Zinc helps enhance libido and sexual desire,” says Dr. Berman. “We don’t really understand the mechanisms behind it, but we know it works.”

Figs are funny-shaped fruits with a long history of being a fertility booster, and they make an excellent aphrodisiac because they’re packed with soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.

Why is this important for your heart health?

High-fiber foods help fill you up, not out, so it’s easier to get abs with sexy bottom line or flat belly.

Strawberries say it all with the color red which is known to help stoke the fire!

A 2008 study found that men find women sexier if they’re wearing red, as opposed to cool colors such as blue or green.

Strawberries are also an excellent source of folic acid, a B vitamin that helps ward off birth defects in women.

According to a University of California, Berkley study, may be tied to high sperm counts in men.

Why not eat some dark-chocolate-dipped strawberries?

While we’re on the subject, there’s a reason we give chocolate on Valentine’s Day because chocolate is full of libido boosting methylxanthines.

Seafood, despite their slippery texture, oysters may be one of the most well-known aphrodisiac.

Oysters are also one of the best sources of libido-boosting zinc.

But other types of seafood can also act as aphrodisiacs. Oily fish like wild salmon and herring contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for a healthy heart.

Citrus or any member of this tropical fruit family is super-rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and folic acid—all of which are essential.

Enjoy a romantic salad that mixes-it-up with citrus, like pink grapefruit or mandarin oranges, and why not use a dressing made with lemon and lime?

Fitness Exercise and Strength Training For Women’s Health…

Weight Loss Coach

When you are losing weight you think about how many calories you are taking in each day.

Well, what about getting the right weight loss exercise for toning your muscles?

Many women forget about their muscles when it is a major consideration.

Here’s why…did you know strength training exercise  means more lean muscle?

Yes! You actually get to burn more calories in any given day…

When you get your weight off you want to reveal muscle tone and you can easily do it with strength training exercise.

You may not have thought about strength training exercise because you are a woman.

Many women don’t give it a second thought because they think a strength training exercise will give them a manly torso and hulking arms.

You don’t have to worry about this, and this is no reason to avoid the weights. You’ll not bulk up like a man unless you take supplements to aid in this process.

The most that will happen is you will lose weight faster, have a more feminine body tone and you will look amazing at the end of your weight loss journey.

Look better, feel better and enjoy more femininity…that doesn’t sound so bad now does it?

You can find out which strength training exercise is better for you by visiting your local gym. Most gyms have personal trainers to help out their clients, and they can show you any number of simple steps that helps you get results.

You may need to add simple weight routines to your exercise program to get the results you are looking for.

You don’t have to lay down on a weight bench to get the benefits of exercise which is all part of a good strength training exercise program.

It is much simpler than you think.

You may also find a good strength training exercise by looking online, hint, hint. Just remember what when you work with any sort of weight you want to make sure you have proper form and breathing.

They are just as important than the actual strength training exercise. If you don’t not work with weights properly you can hurt yourself.

It is easy to learn proper form and breathing, however, so don’t stop yourself from looking into this because you fear it will be too complicated.

If you already do aerobics you already have the breathing part down anyway.

You only need to do this type of exercise for about twenty minutes two to three times a week to get the results you are looking for…

Could Your Weight Gain be Caused by an Underactive  Thyroid?

Weight Loss Coach

An underactive thyroid is a common problem among women who suffer from chronic weight gain and have difficulty burning off the unwanted pounds.

And the condition, known medically as hypothyroidism, can have a variety of different symptoms.

Some typical symptoms experienced by women with an underactive thyroid include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Constipation
• Thinning hair
• dry skin,
• sore and aching  muscles
• Difficulty maintaining concentration
• Depression
• Fertility issues
• Brittle nails
• Reduced heart rate…

The most common symptom of all, however is weight gain.

Since the thyroid gland is responsible for hormones that regulate the metabolism, an underactive thyroid can lead directly to a slow metabolism, prompting your body to store energy from food as body fat.

A slow metabolism, meanwhile, can make it almost impossible to burn off the added weight through diet and exercise.

Trying to overcome a chronically sluggish metabolism through diet and exercise alone is almost guaranteed to be a losing battle…

Unfortunately, many women who suffer from hypothyroidism are unaware of their condition and mistkenly assume that their weight gain comes from some other source.

Women experience continual frustration when their good-faith efforts at dieting produce little or nothing in the way of results…

Do you feel discouraged or convinced that your weight gain is “genetic.”

Fortunately, there are a number of good options for restoring thyroid function once an underactive thyroid has been diagnosed by a thyroid test.

If you believe you may have an underactive thyroid gland, your first step is to speak with your physician to arrange a thyroid test and go over options for thyroid treatment.

These may include supplemental hormones, which must be taken indefinitely in order to avoid deficiencies.

However, hormone replacement does come with some risks, including the risk of developing an overactive thyroid, whch can result in symptoms like elevated heart rate.

For women concerned about the side effects or cost of hormone therapy, restoring the normal healthy function of your thyroid may also be possible through a combination of a good diet and supplements.

Any decision you reach should be made in close consultation with your doctor, since the thyroid is not something you’d want to tackle on your own unless you happen to have a degree in endocrinology.

Once your thyroid hormones are back to normal, (normal thyroid) whether through hormone replacement or other means, your metabolism will correct itself, and you’ll fiind it much easier to lose weight.

Perhaps you’ll also enjoy significantly more energy, which can help you stick to a new exercise routine.
