Healthy Body - Great Sex!

One of the biggest factors affecting the enjoyment of sex is the health of the body. Smoking cigarettes constricts the capillaries and blood vessels in the body, which restricts blood flow to the genitals and thus decreases sexual enjoyment; alcohol and other caffeine sources destroy vital vitamin B elements within the body, making us more lethargic.

This lethargy and lack of physical vitality not only communicates itself to our partner during sex, but also comes across when we're on the look-out for a partner; it's ironic that the two most consumed items in a bar or night-club environment - alcohol and cigarettes - are the two greatest killers of good sex! Vitamin B, which is burnt up by the metabolizing of alcohol, also makes us more relaxed - so while the alcohol is loosening us up on the one hand, it's destroying our Vitamin B levels. so when the alcohol has been metabolized from our bodies, we are VERY low on Vitamin B - and thus the hangover.

Our bodies function best when they contain optimum levels of amino acids, nutrients and other chemicals required for the chemical lab we call a body. Unfortunately, modern lifestyles generally do not allow for the proper intake of such chemicals; and so, the majority of the population is functioning improperly.

So, YOU can stand out from the crowd by simply being healthier; you'll project an aura of energy and vitality that will make you feel great - and if you feel great, other people feel great about you.

Getting Healthier

More and more vitamins and other nutrients, and how they power our body, are being discovered every year. But the basics are:

Vitamin A: essential for good skin; gets rid of those pimples and other skin impurities. It improves you hair condition, and helps your vision, both night and day.

Vitamin B: actually a broad spectrum of Vitamins, including B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, niacin, inositol and pantothenic acid, among others. They are what's called synergistic, meaning that if you take too much of one type, it can make you deficient in the others; so you should take a B complex supplement every day (because B groups are water soluble, they must be replenished every day)

Vitamin C: Or ascorbic acid, assists the immune system. It should be taken with a lot of liquid. If you keep your doses high in this (say, 10,000 mgs a day) you're likely to reduce your risk of catching colds and flus.

Vitamin D: Also gotten from exposure to the sun, it helps the body to absorb and retain calcium. Vitamin D in itself needs fat or oils to be absorbed, so take it after a meal that includes some.

Vitamin E: Assists in the transport and efficient use of oxygen; more oxygen gets to your cells, particularly your brain. It's also called the 'sex vitamin' because it assists in the production of sex hormones.

These are the basic vitamins; however, one indespensible way to a healthy body has to be at least a minimum amount of exercise. Even if you work out lightly for half an hour every day or two, your body will function more efficiently, the blood circulate better, and your whole body function better with less stress.

And of course, let's not forget the best form of exercise - sex!
