Living a healthy lifestyle can provide you with many benefits, including better or even great sex!
Nearly half of American women—43 percent—suffer from some kind of sexual dysfunction, the Journal of the American Medical Association recently reported.

- 50 percent said their level of desire increased
- 40 percent reported an improved sexual relationship
