What good does regular, greasy food and continuous smoking do for your sex life? Nothing. Zilch.

Sex is a pleasurable, yet tiring act. When your hormones are out of sync, it can leave you feeling tired even before you've hit the bed or every time your partner mentions it to you.

The adrenal glands play a crucial role in having a steamy sex life: they squirt out sex hormones into your blood stream, but if they are under considerable stress, then you are bound to have a variety of hormone difficulties, one of them being loss of libido.

The food we eat these days hardly contributes to a healthy sex drive. In fact, bad nutrition and high stress has a profound impact on the delicate balance of hormones: it contributes to a sluggish thyroid and weak adrenals.

It's not uncommon for people suffering from hypothyrodisim or chronic fatigue to have no interest in sex - in fact, its the common complaint in the clinic - even amongst 30+ women!

Luckily, there is a solution to regain your mood. Below are outlines of what can be done to strengthen your adrenals:

1) Patients with adrenal fatigue require plenty of rest, therefore it's really important your body heals before you begin to exert yourself

2) Cut down on harsh stimulants like: coffee, bread, alcohol and smoking as they add additional stress to your adrenals

3) Eat more fat and good cholesterol contained in animal meats, such as duck and beef. The adrenal glands require good cholesterol to help the adrenal glands recover.
