It’s no secret that the unhealthy American diet is contributing to an epidemic of obesity. But there’s another hidden epidemic that our fatty diets are at the root of: a national sex crisis. Beyond slimming you down, changing what you eat can boost your performance in bed – these six great foods will help combat the crisis.

In 1996, the average American had sex 138 times a year. Compare that to 2007, when people reported having sex just 85 times a year. That’s a staggering 38 percent decrease in a little more than a decade. Furthermore, psychologists estimate that as many as 1 in 5 couples are in a sexless marriage, which means sex less than 10 times a year. In other words, our sex drive is in a deep dive.

One of the big culprits, for both men and women, is obesity. As a person’s weight soars, their libido plummets due to biochemical changes that result in diminished bloodflow—there’s simply no sex without strong bloodflow. And even when Americans do manage to have sex, the extra weight they’re bringing to the bedroom also hinders their ability to have children—with men, it’s damaged sperm; with women, it’s ovulation problems.

The good news: With some simple changes to your diet, courtesy of David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, co-authors of the national bestselling book Eat This, Not That!, you can revitalize your sex life and reinvigorate your relationship. How? First, as you consume filling foods with fewer calories, you’ll begin to shed the weight that’s dragging down your desire. Then, because these foods also contain ingredients and nutrients that strategically boost sexual attraction and performance, you’ll squeeze even more satisfaction out of each and every sexual encounter.
