Eating for pleasure can mean far more than simply enjoying the food on our plates. What we eat can have a direct impact on libido, as well as our enjoyment of sex.
This is partly because the food we eat can affect our weight, and by extension how we feel about our bodies and how sexy we feel. But it also influences neurotransmitters, which regulate our pleasure and arousal responses, and a diet rich in protein — meat, fish and plant proteins — can help with this.
Staying healthy during the menopause also means eating fats because these are the building blocks of cholesterol, which we need to make our sex hormones. It’s the production of those hormones that increases arousal. That means a very low-fat or no-fat diet isn’t helpful if you’re struggling with low libido.
