Low sex drive is a common problem and more prevalent than we know. Blame it on the sedentary lifestyle, age, stress or underlying medical conditions, a less-than-active sex life is not a taboo but there are ways to improve it. A good diet is a solution to almost everything. It can also bring back your lost interest in sex and get you in the sack again. And you don't have to go too far to look for foods that can recharge your libido, boost stamina, and improve your overall sexual performance.

2. Watermelon
Now that summer is here, we have more reasons to gorge on the refreshing and hydrating watermelon. According to the expert, this fruit contains a compound that produces nitric oxide and l-Arginine, both of which promote a healthy heart and blood vessel health. This leads to better sexual drive.
