Loss of libido is something that can affect pre- or postmenopausal women. So how do you perk up sexual desire when you reach that stage?

Big Mac with cheese, fries, onion rings and a soda for lunch or dinner? Think again. The saturated fats in these fast foods have been associated to loss of libido. So stop that fast food binge and get your sex drive back on track.

It’s time to change your eating habits. There are testosterone-friendly foods available in your favorite supermarket. Get that cart and pick up fruits and vegetables that can help increase your testosterone levels and restore libido without the use of medication.

Banana is great energy-giving food source. It contains the enzyme bromelain which is believed to improve male libido. The phallic shape of this fruit is said to be partially responsible for banana being popular as an aphrodisiac. It is rich in potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin which are necessary for sex hormone - testosterone production.

Avocado contains high levels of folic acid to help metabolize proteins. It also contains vitami
B6 that can help increase male hormone production. In addition, avocado also contains potassium that aids in regulating the female thyroid gland. This helps enhance female libido levels.

Oysters have a high zinc content which raises testosterone and sperm production - both considered important for enhancing libido.

Figs are high in amino acids which researchers believe can increase libido. It has also been found that figs can also increase your sexual stamina.

Eggs are another source of vitamins B5 and B6 - both of which help fight stress and balance hormone levels and are crucial to a healthy libido. High levels of stress are a well known cause of low sex drive.

Brown rice, cheese and turkey are all good sources of zinc. Testosterone production is dependent on zinc and testosterone levels control both male and female libido and sex drive.

The menopause stage like any other period of life is all about making a healthy choice. Grab a bite of those testosterone-friendly foods and have a good menopause supplement like Zalestra. Be fit and healthy. Check out www.zalestra.com and find out how it can help you increase your sex drive.
