Why Weight

Open The Doorway To Great Sex: With Weight Control Through Diet And Exercise

By Brenda Skidmore

The benefits of great sex are well known for the mood enhancement it produces in those who participate in it on a regular basis. The power to make great sex a priority in your life, if it's less exciting than you'd like, is in the mind with a 'can do' attitude. Feeling sexy and self-confident is really just a state of mind.

Those mood enhancers that I previously mentioned are called endorphins. They are the 'feel good' chemicals the brain releases when pleasurable events or substances are enjoyed. This pleasurable stimuli can be food, alcohol, drugs, and yes even sex.

So it stands to reason, the more often you participate in pleasurable sex, the more often you get to experience those wonderful and addictive endorphin releases!

These pleasurable 'feel good' brain chemicals are also important stress reducers, and stress is the number one contributor to weight gain.

People who are overweight often have a poor self-image that inhibits their attitude towards having sex. This will in time, and with age, affect an individual's desire and frequency to have sex with their partner.

Since engaging in healthy, loving, and pleasurable sex is considered a beneficial physical exercise, having frequent sex can have an impact on reducing your weight by:

1.Burning up to 150 to 200 calories per half hour, and apart from being a lot of fun, it is just as beneficial as any other form of physical activity.

2.Sex does not have to be extremely aerobic to benefit from the physical exertion. Experiment with different positions by moving around more often.

3.Remember, people who are lonely often over eat to comfort themselves out of frustration to being stressed and feeling unloved. By having frequent sex, you will be more able to control your weight, reduce physical stress, and be less tempted to over eat.

Consider the fact that being in love or out of love can be two of the best known diets out there. Both can be strong motivators in controlling or losing control of an individual's weight. . When you can see the importance of feeding your mind and body a daily dose of healthy nutrients, it will reward you by being more able and willing to perform this good for you and healthy activity.

The weight loss will be an added side effect to increase your joy and self confidence in rediscovering great sex!

Here is where diet can play a huge roll in better sex:
1.Avoid or limit fast junk foods, they are excessive sources of trans-fats and sugars. Do increase healthy fats like omega-3.

2.Concentrate on eating more whole unprocessed foods. Include more whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes.

3.Do include more complex carbohydrates such as vegetables and fruits, strive for 5 servings a day.

4.Don't skip certain food groups, eat a wide variety of foods from each group.

5.Limit negative beverages such as alcohol, coffee, and sugar laden drinks. Increase your water intake considerably.

Not only will increasing your water intake keep excessive weight in check and within your control, an added benefit of adequate hydration is in increased energy for sexual performance.
In F. Batmanghjelidj M.D.'s mind-opening book, 'Your Body's Many Cries For Water', pg. 132, he comments,”When the body is well hydrated, all of the prerequisites to a satisfying sex life and more than adequate libido will be in place. In addition, one or two glasses before 'the event' will help in achieving a firmer and sustained erection in men and the joys of participation in women”.

My thoughts in closing are this, what binds all these pieces of information together is a dash of positive thoughts. If you believe you are hot in the bedroom, you can and will be!
