"Orgasmic Diet" Author Says Simple Changes Improve Sex

You really are what you eat, and author of "The Orgasmic Diet" offers help for those struggling in the sack.

Sexual dysfunction in women is a worldwide epidemic, but experts say that just a few changes in diet could help all that. From lack of desire or arousal to problems with orgasm or pain during sex, women, they say, can benefit from a better diet. There are a multitude of possible causes for sexual dysfunction including weight gain, menopause, poor nutrition, stress and psychological factors. Those problems alone can cause bigger problems in a marriage or relationship. Pharmaceutical companies compete to come out with the next best pill to solve the problem like that, but others are convinced that a more natural approach will work just as well. The Daily Mail reports that dark chocolate, fish oils and carb-control diets work well. While Marrena Lindberg, author of "The Orgasmic Diet" suggests increasing fish oil, which contains dopamine, to increase serotonin and that "feel good" factor. This solution has proved successful in the past because serotonin increases the ability to handle stress, gives us more energy and regulates our appetite. Lindberg also warns to stay clear of caffeine, cigarettes, sugar, starch and other stimulants.
