Findings show women who have sex on a regular basis scored better in tests measuring their memory.
But how do you kickstart your sex drive in an effort to work on your ability to remember?
Sex
One of the best remedies for not wanting to have sex is the deed itself.
Addressing emotional or psychological issues can help to boost your libido.
Any unresolved issues may lead to stress, mental anguish and anxiety. Stress is a common culprit for putting your libido into hiding.
De-stress
To get you “in the mood” it's important that you feel relaxed and at ease.
Stress plays a huge role in libido reduction. The ingredients that our bodies use to make stress hormones are the same ingredients that are used to make sex hormones.
“Your body will always prioritise the production of stress hormones over anything else,” says Shona Wilkinson, Nutritionist at SuperfoodUK.com the online shopping destination for health & wellbeing.
“Going back pre-historically, stress hormones were used to get us out of danger, to stop us being eaten by a tiger. At that moment in time, your body does not care about sex.”

Get moving
Exercise will give your libido a natural boost.
“Working out can play a major role in managing stress levels. There are two main factors affecting this, firstly, any physical activity boosts the production of the 'happy hormone' endorphin, also commonly known as the runner's high,” explains Chris Sweeney, COO and co-founder of Fitssi.
“Endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, which reduces the feeling of pain and helps you to relax.
“The second and I think most significant, is the social experience of working out with friends. It's easier to get things of your chest amongst likeminded people.”
