avoid intense exercise such as kickboxing, or sprinting, which the body interprets as a stressor. • Take two supplements daily: vitamin C with bioflavonoids and ashwagandha. Both of these help heal the adrenal tissues and boost adrenal function. • Schedule five to ten minutes of relaxing activity before bed each day. Examples: apply skin care products, read, meditate. • Schedule thirty minutes of self-pleasure once a week. Try using only your hands and fingers for a better tumescent experience than using toys, in order to get the most nitric oxide benefits for your body. • Schedule thirty minutes to do nothing once a week. Minimize stimulation. Take a nap. Sit outside surrounded by trees and nature. • Add plenty of healthy fats to your diet. Try avocados, oils, nuts, and seeds to support the organs of your reproductive system. • Fill your diet with foods that nurture the adrenals. To recharge your energy, go heavy on blue/black and yellow/orange foods (see below), which represent water and earth in Chinese medicine—two important qualities for enhancing energy and libido.
