How to Increase Libido and Overall Wellness

Libido may be affected by several factors, such as loss of fitness, poor diet and hormonal changes. In these cases, a number of methods can be used to increase the libido naturally and also increase overall wellness. More serious problems for loss of libido may include erectile dysfunction, which should be treated by a doctor. According to The Hormone Help Center, hormonal changes resulting in low libido can be treated with medications such as testosterone, although individuals should consult a physician for advice on this treatment, as consumption may produce unwanted side effects such as hair growth and acne.

  Exercise regularly by participating in cardiovascular-based activities such as running, cycling, swimming and aerobics. Exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week. This will increase overall health levels and also make you feel more energized, which in turn can increase libido naturally and improve sexual performance through increased stamina. According to 4Men, regular exercise will also help you have a good night's sleep, which increases overall wellness and libido.

  Eat healthfully by incorporating lots of fruit, vegetables and lean meats into your diet. Avoid junk food, which can clog up the arteries and decrease libido. Also, limit your intake of caffeine as this can hinder libido, and overconsumption can lead to anxiety.

  Spend more time out in the sunshine to increase libido. Sunlight also provides the body with a source of vitamin D, which boosts the immune system and assists in the relief of health problems such as asthma.
