Foods to combat tiredness, stress and a lack of sexual energy:

    • Vitamin A – liver, egg, yolk, cheese, butter and carrots are good sources of vitamin A. It looks after your epithelial tissues. These line all the external and internal surfaces of the body, including the linings of the vagina and the uterus.
    • Vitamin B – women wanting to get pregnant should make sure they eat lots of food rich in folic acid well before conception because a lack of both vitamin B2 and folic acid have been associated with infertility Watercress is a very good source of folic acid. Chicken, fish, lean meat, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, beans and pulses, peanuts and bananas provide B6. These foods are all rich in folic acid. Also dark green leafy vegetables such as cabbage and spinach and also liver, oranges, avocado, beetroot and broccoli are high in folic acid.
    • Vitamin C – increasing this vitamin could help boost your chances of fertility, especially in men. It enhances the quality of sperm. It is also good for the prevention of the condition known as ‘agglutination’, which is when the sperm sticks together and are unable to reach the egg. All fruit and vegetables; especially kiwi fruits, blackcurrants, strawberries, citrus fruits, peppers, hold great levels of vitamin C.
    • Vitamin E – is a very powerful antioxidant and it aids the protection of the ova. Foods which contain high levels of this wonderful vitamin are safflower oils, sunflower seeds, some vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, margarine, wheat germ and avocados.
  • Zinc– oysters are good for your sex life! This is because they are the richest food source of zinc. Zinc is so important in sperm production and for a healthy and proficient sex life. Low libido and sperm counts have been linked to a deficiency of zinc. It can be found in foods such as shellfish (especially oysters!), dark green leafy vegetables, lean red meat, turkey, wholemeal bread and brown rice.
