Sex and the benefits of a Mediterranean diet
 
   
 
Eat delicious Mediterranean meals to reduce your risk of sexual dysfunction and enjoy better sex. It sounds too good to be true but this is precisely the finding of a recent study ran by a team of Italian researchers.

The eight-year study showed that people with type 2 diabetes following a low-carb Mediterranean diet had a greatly reduced risk of developing sexual dysfunction and this applied to both men and women.

The research underlines how having a healthy diet can benefit the body as a whole.

Whilst sexual dysfunction is common in people with diabetes, it need not be a foregone conclusion. The research shows that it is possible prevent it getting worse and there are a number of treatment options for erectile dysfunction in men and for sexual dysfunction in women.
