In our last post we discussed “Leaky Gut” and how it can affect your happiness, energy, and romance. Thankfully “Leaky Gut” can be healed through nutrition. Balanced can be restored, and essential hormones can be returned to normal levels.

Foods that Enhance Romance
Fruits and vegetables are key foods to get the spark lit again in your life. Strawberries, blackberries, asparagus, figs, broccoli, and grapes are super foods for creating a hormonal storm that can bring balance to the gut. These foods hold a combination of anti-oxidants and nutrients that stimulate relaxation without fatigue, an important element for feeling happiness that can lead to romance.

Almonds, pecans, and walnuts all contain the important amino acid L-arginine. L-arginine has a Viagra-like effect for both males and females by allowing blood flow to the extremities and skin. This makes one more sensitive to touch and can be an important tool to get the flame burning for your special date night.

Besides boosting libido, L-arginine has many other uses. It can decrease blood pressure, increase blood flow to the feet and hands to reduce icy hands and toes, increase muscle building when combined with L-glutamine and a resistance workout, and naturally increase testosterone when combined with flax or fish oil.

Flax and fish oil are omega-3 fats, which are essential for hormone balance and production and can help reduce testosterone deficiency in both males and females. (Signs of low testosterone include decreased energy, hair loss or reduced shaving, depressed mood, increase in body fat, loss of sex drive, decrease in bone/muscle strength and mass.)

Another Key: Chiropractic
The last key to obtaining happiness, energy, and romance is remembering that the nervous system controls everything. A well-adjusted spine allows your nervous system to be healthier so it can better orchestrate digestion, hormone production, and energy flow throughout the body. Keep your adjustment appointments to help keep happiness, energy, and romance in your life.
