Your libido isn’t a mysterious phenomenon that comes and goes for no reason. Quite the opposite – your daily choices have a direct impact on it. What you eat, how you exercise, how much you sleep, and even how you deal with stress can either support or detract from your libido.

1. Food that contributes to vitality

A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals and healthy fats helps maintain your energy levels and hormonal balance**. Think of foods like nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs and oily fish. Zinc, for example, contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood**, which is relevant for libido.

2. Movement and relaxation: two pillars

Regular exercise is good for your circulation and helps to reduce stress. This has a positive effect on your overall vitality and therefore also on your sexual health. Note: it doesn't have to be a marathon - a brisk walk or an hour of exercise per week also makes a difference.

3. Sleep: The Forgotten Superpower

A good night's sleep is essential. During your sleep, your body and mind recover. Your hormone balance also comes to rest. Bad sleeping habits can adversely affect your libido, so invest in regularity and rest.

4. Stress: The Libido Inhibitor

Long-term stress can really put a damper on your libido. Find ways to clear your head. Think of breathing exercises, meditation or just an evening without screens. Talking also helps – with your partner, or a good friend.

In short: you don't have to look for complicated solutions. Small, conscious adjustments in your lifestyle can already make a contribution.
