Making Healthy Lifestyle ChoicesExercise regularly: Exercise regularly to boost your testosterone levels. A regular exercise routine naturally increases your levels of testosterone, which will increase your libido. Exercise also stimulates blood flow and releases endorphins that will improve your mood, both of which will increase your sex drive. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise 2-3 times a week.
Exercise can help decrease your stress levels, which may help boost your libido.
You’ll also look and feel better, which will make you feel more confident.
If you’re new to exercise, make sure you don’t overdo it and risk injuring yourself. Start slow with some light jogging or walking around your neighborhood.
Add some cardio exercises such as running, swimming, or cycling to your routine to improve your blood flow.
Use weight training to build muscle, burn fat, and give yourself a surge of endorphins that will put you in a better mood.
Sleeping habit:Get between 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Getting a good night’s sleep will help your body rest and recuperate, while also giving your mind a break, reducing your stress and anxiety levels. If you're well-rested and you aren’t stressed, your sex drive will naturally increase on its own. You’ll also be ready to go when the time is right. Aim to get at least 7 hours of restful sleep every night.
Sleep deprivation also reduces your testosterone levels, so it’s really important that you get enough sleep to give your sex drive a boost.
Manage Stress:Find ways to manage your stress levels. If you tend to be stressed a lot, your libido can be affected. Identify the stressors in your life to find ways to avoid or deal with them.
Make a list of the things that stress you out so you can try to manage them.
For example, if you’re stressed out at work, find ways to reduce your stress levels, such as taking breaks, going out for lunch, or taking some time off.
Anxiety or Depression: See a counselor or therapist if you have anxiety or depression. Mental disorders such as generalized anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and others can reduce your sex drive. If you’re suffering from a mental illness, see a psychiatrist, counselor, or therapist to help treat your condition so you can enjoy a healthy sex life.
Search online for licensed therapists near you or ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist.
Quit smokingQuit smoking to improve your cardiovascular health. The nicotine contained in tobacco constricts blood vessels and will decrease your sex drive. If you do smoke, try to quit as soon as you can. If you’re around other people who smoke, try to avoid breathing in the secondhand smoke.
