Sexual Health is the least discussed subject especially in a country like ours. The fact is sexual health is directly related to one’s mental and physical well-being. The love and intimacy between two individuals is a driving force that pushes individuals to greater heights. Being sexually healthy doesn’t just mean to be free from a sexual disease or dysfunction; it also means that the individuals enjoy the sexual experiences, have the right blend of sexual urges, affection, love and intimacy.
What you eat doesn’t just affect your mental and physical well-being, eating right is the first step to achieving good sexual health.
