What better period to discover your loss libido than the start of a New Year? This second quarter, is a good time for anybody to start. Following these steps is bound to make your love-life hottest ever!

Sexy Food: We all know about oysters-Casanova was a 40-a-day man- and their lusty reputation is probably due to their high zinc contents. This mineral increases sperm production and reputedly sends your libido through the roof. However, if you can't stand slurping oysters; try turkey instead as that's high in zinc too.

For pudding, nibble a banana - not only will it look naughty, but these fruits are believed to be aphrodisiacs; as they're rich in the sexy chemical, bufotenine. Polish off your meals with chocolates, high in theobromine, a substance that fights fatigue to give you staying power.

Sexy Exercises: Start taking regular exercise-two or three times a week for 15-20 minutes and your libido will receive the much needed kick up in the pants! It will also give you more confidence in your body and promote flexibility. Studies have also shown that exercise increased genital blood flow.

Sexy Supplements: Ginger is considered to be an aphrodisiac in African countries and also in traditional Chinese medicine. It's a well-known stimulant, it can improve your circulation and relieve flatulence! Ginseng is another traditional remedy for a va-va-voom between the sheets, although there isno actual evidence forthis. Generations of Chinese couples swear by it, but if you're pregnant, or on any medication, consult your doctor before use.

If flow energy is your problem, and you suspect that you're not getting all the vitamins you need from your diet, then try taking a multivitamin supplement that contains 300 per cent of the recommended daily amounts of vitamins B and C, which are important for physical exercise and used up more quickly when you're suffering from stress. When 20 women took it over a four-week period, one in three experienced 'energy highs', and all the women felt their energy levels had increased.
