Be sure you’re vit for action

METTLE Get a boost from steak Vitamins and minerals can help with a flagging libido and making sure you get enough of them in your diet will not only give you a boost in the bedroom but make you feel better in every way.

Have you ever wondered why you’re a little more receptive to the idea of sex when you’re on holiday? It’s not just the heat, the swaying palm trees and cocktails that play a part (although they do!) – it’s also all the lovely vitamin D that you’re getting from that big yellow ball in the sky. Here in the UK, we have to hit the supplements to get those kind of levels during the winter months. I personally find that oral vitamin D sprays work much better than tablets. The liquid form is more readily absorbed and just a few squirts a day on the tongue can make a difference.

This plays an important role in lubricating the body from the inside. So if you need a bit of help with vaginal dryness, then try upping your intake of B2-rich foods, such as red meat, dairy products and mushrooms.

This helpful little vitamin is what gives you the energy you need not only to have sex in the first place but the bursts you need to orgasm. Start adding tomatoes, peanuts and brown rice to your diet for a little extra va-va-voom!

This is the vitamin that most of us are deficient in and you’ll know it if you’re constantly tired, lethargic and not interested in sex in the slightest. Try eating more eggs, tuna, crab and clams.

Low levels can mean you don’t feel like having sex and you don’t enjoy it much when you do. Iron is found in green leafy veg like kale and spinach, as well as grass-fed beef.
