Great Food, Great Sex
by Nancy Mills
"It's your plate, not your mate." That's what authors Robert Fried, Pd.D. and Lynn Eldlen-Nezin, Ph.D., tell us in their new book Great Food, Great Sex, The Three Food Factors for Sexual Fitness.
At age 55, Dr. Fried began to suffer "adverse side effects" in his love life from prescription medication. As a health psychologist, he knew how to research his own condition and came up with a solution...getting more nitric oxide (NO) into his body.
But how? It turns out that changing his diet was the answer. There are three main food categories that are sources for NO:
* greens and beans (nitrogen rich vegetables)
* staminators (meat, fish, soybeans, nuts, legumes)
* brights (antioxidants like fruit, tea, red wine, olive oil, dark chocolate)
Nitric oxide (NO)- described as the "miracle molecule" - causes constricted blood vessels to relax and thus lowers blood pressure. Dr. Fried found that "lots of NO means lots of Yes" in the bedroom and so he teamed up with nutrition-savvy Dr. Edlen-Nezin to shape a NO-rich food plan to promote renewed sexual vitality.
This book contains the latest research and lots of scientific explanation for this food plan. But the bottom line is that what's good for your arteries is good for your sex life. A diet of a little lean meat, more fish, lots of fruit (load up on blueberries this summer!), fresh salads, nuts, whole grains, olive and grape seed oils, green teas, low-fat dairy products and cooked tomato sauces will not only taste great but serve you well in the romance department.
The book contains recipes and an easy-to-follow meal plan from the National Institutes of Health's high-NO cardiovascular and heart health trials. The authors promise the following "side effects" from this diet: higher energy, weight loss, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure. All this and more spark in your sex life - good ways to redefine life after fifty!

Dear readers,
I am intimately acquainted with the authors of this book and thus the process of its conception, research and final publication. Without reservation I wholeheartedly endorse this book and its claims, having witnessed and benefitted from them myself. I'm 44 years old and expect a long, active and satisfying life as a result of following this book's recommendations. - VC in DC
I know one of the healthy compounds found in red wine, tea,nuts, and blueberries is resveratrol. This antioxidant apparently makes some organisms live longer (i.e. makes them age more slowly). Check out resveratrol.com. Pretty good resource to find out about resveratrol. Kate
