May reduce circulation to sex organs, which can negatively influence libido. Research has shown that CVD is correlated to erectile dysfunction in men, which can reduce libido overtime. Binge drinking Although the thought of drinking alcohol can be relaxing, the fact is that regular alcohol intake has been shown to reduce testosterone levels, and impact the nervous system, reducing nerve sensitivity. These changes may reduce libido and arousal. Fatigue and dehydration associated with binge drinking will also lead to reduced desire in sexual activities. Liquorice root One study found that supplementing 7g of liquorice root daily in men showed a 26% drop in testosterone levels, after only 1 week. This could then have a negative impact on libido in men. However, it is important to note that this research applies to liquorice root and not the sweets, which often do not contain liquorice root. Mint (in high doses) Although research has only been carried out in rats, it was shown that mint supplementation had a negative influence on overall testosterone levels. Note that in this study, rats were given a high dose of mint, so improper or irregular consumption of mint is not advised. If these foods and drinks above can be reduced, improvements in libido are likely to be seen. What about soy? Although there is a belief that soy products can reduce testosterone levels, human research has not shown this to be the case. This has only been found in an old rat study, though human trials have shown no effect on testosterone levels with soy consumption. Therefore, moderate soy consumption is believed to have no influence on testosterone levels in males. How long does it take for diet changes to impact libido? This can largely depend on the overall quality of dietary changes a person is making.
