Cold Smoothies with HOT Results
Blend your way to a long, healthy sex life using libido-enhancing ingredients like pomegranate, maca, cacao and more!
The heat of summer is waning (70's all week instead of 80's, brrr!), but that doesn't mean your sheets have to cool too! There are plenty of natural ways to keep temperatures hot, hot, hot in the bedroom.
Last week on Dr. Oz, Dr. Fisch shared a smoothie recipe guaranteed to boost men's libido from his book "Size Matters: The Hard Facts About Male Sexuality That Every Woman Should Know."
Pomegranate Smoothie

Anyone remember the tale of Persephone? Look it up. Something about pomegranate seeds with lots of innuendo...
We digress! Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants, and increases the blood supply to the genitals thereby increasing libido. There are many other foods rich in antioxidants that provide the same satisfying effect: maca, cacao, shilajit, acai, wheatgrass juice, bee pollen and berries to name a few.

Sting, who has long proclaimed having an extremely satisfying sex life with partner Trudie Styler, is on to a second way to increase blood flow and libido: lots and lots of yoga. The proof maybe in the pudding... they have been together for 29 years!
We prefer Bikram ourselves: The Bikram Yoga series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises moves fresh oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to every muscle, organ, tissue and cell in the body. The series uses a series of compression and releases (known as the "Tourniquet Effect") to temporarily restrict blood flow to parts of the body (muscles, organs, glands). The magic is that when the posture is released a fresh surge of blood rushes back into the area to increase blood flow and bring health and healing to parts of the body which may be suffering from injury or lack of use. This is why we say it takes care of everything, inside out, from bones to the skin. You are literally power washing your joints, increasing suppleness of the muscles and detoxifying the body!
Bikram Yoga Danvers has a special 10-day unlimited pass for $20, and beginners are welcome! We recommend attending a Bikram class and then popping next door to Each Peach Cafe for our own version of the Pomegranate smoothie for men... You and your partner won't regret it!
