If you want sex to go the extra kilometre, fuel up for foreplay. A big banana is the perfect food for bedroom endurance. Bananas contain B vitamins, which are key for converting carbohydrates into energy and are believed to help manufacture sex hormones such as testosterone.

2. Celery :

Serve your partner celery sticks and he may suddenly seem more irresistible. Raw celery contains the male hormone androsterone, which can act as a pheromone to trigger female attraction. After just a few bites, his sweat glands start releasing the pheromone. On special occasions, splash out and add a few truffle shavings to his meal. Truffles boast even more androsterone.

3. Dark chocolate :

An Italian study found that women who report eating chocolate on a daily basis claim to have more satisfying sex lives. Like other sweet foods, chocolate triggers the release of feel-good endorphins. It also provides small amounts of anxiety-quelling tryptophan, arousing caffeine and a couple of groovy substances anandamide and theobromine , in large quantities, work like a psychedelic drug and an opiate, respectively. Of course, you’d have to down several kilos of chocolate to feel the effects, but simply nibbling a few squares after dinner will help transform your mood from tense to toey.

4. Flaxseeds :

Downing just one tablespoon of flaxseeds a day helps increase testosterone  production - and that’s the chemical with the most direct libido-boosting effect.  Besides enhancing sex drive, these nutty-flavoured seeds contain essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which are the major building blocks of all sex hormones. “If you don’t have enough fatty acids, your hormone levels may decrease and so your desire. Flaxseed oil has twice the omega acids of fish and two tablespoons of the seeds deliver 140 per cent of your recommended daily dose.

To kickstart your libido, either swallow one teaspoon of flaxseed oil or sprinkle a tablespoon of the seeds on your cereal and salads. Since both can spoil quickly, purchase oil in opaque bottles and seeds in vacuum-sealed packs, since they have longer shelf lives. If seeds aren’t your thing, then opt for walnuts, which contain about 90 per cent of your omega RDI.

5. Ginger :

This powerful root stimulates the circulatory system, increasing blood flow to the genitals. “Fresh ginger has a more pungent smell” than the stuff in a jar, Smelling ginger has a stronger effect on penile and vaginal blood flow than actually eating it. When a food or aroma raises blood pressure, vessels in the genitals admit a rush of blood that inflates erectile tissue. The vessels then close off, preventing blood from exiting the erogenous zones, keeping sensitivity levels high.

6. Honey :

This sticky sweetener contains simple carbohydrates that provide instant energy and fuel for working muscles. “Honey is rich in B vitamins, which are needed for testosterone production, and it contains boron, which helps the body metabolise and use oestrogen - an important part of blood flow and arousal. Use a few teaspoons as a natural sweetener in tea or spread it on toast with peanut butter.

7. Nutmeg & Cloves :

Researchers have found that nutmeg and clove, both from evergreen trees, bolster the sexual activity. Each stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system - helping the little critters, and you, relax - but the effects were greater with nutmeg.

Just don’t eat too much of the magical spice, as it also has hallucinogenic  properties . Just a sprinkle on your cappuccino or hot chocolate should do the trick. But as with chocolate, you’d have to eat a lot (about two tablespoons worth on an empty stomach) before the walls start melting.

8. Oysters :

Ancient Romans pegged this shellfish as a sex-spurring food, and they were definitely onto something. Oysters contain high levels of zinc, a mineral required for the production of testosterone. A team of researchers recently found that mussels, clams and oysters deliver two types of amino acids that spark a rush of sex hormones. Be sure to chew shellfish thoroughly before swallowing to extract more of the mojo-cranking mineral.

The following dos should put a positive spin on helping those who wish to revamp their eating habits in the hopes of transforming their bodies for the better.

* DO eat well-balanced meals throughout the day, kick starting your metabolism with breakfast as often as possible.

* DO eat several helpings of salad, fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Recommended amount is five servings of fruit and vegetables each day.

* DO avoid eating simply because you are bored. Popping candy, cookies and other sweets into your mouth merely to pass the time is not conducive to modifying and maintaining a healthy body image.

* DO sit down; enjoy your food and CHEW! Avoid scarfing down your lunch in the car as you drive.

Take the time to enjoy a leisurely meal without constantly trying to do something else.

* DO avoid grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Almost inevitably, those shopping with hunger pangs pushing them along may be apt to throw a few more goodies in the cart than if shopping after a meal.

* DO be realistic about your body image goals. Do not expect overnight results. Work to achieve your goals but do treat yourself every once in a while!

Not all of us are born to fit such an image of what is considered the beautiful woman.In fact, very, very few fit that given image at all. And yet, there are so many women out there who try desperately to fit that image, who will try all means available to them and that which they can afford just to be able to fit that image. Sadly, despite whatever measure we might take, some of us are just that: fat.

If we are not genetically predisposed to being overweight, there are other reasons why we are carrying around extra flesh on our bodies. It could be because we are addicted to food. And while this is not a general or a blanket statement on why women are fat, it could be because we basically have issues with ourselves that we cannot face, and we hide behind the comfort that food brings us whenever we had to deal with something that we find truly stressful.

Examine yourself. Are you fat because your genes have dictated that your body should be formed that way? Are you fat because you are lazy? Or are you fat because you cannot stop eating?

That character from the Austin Powers series of movies, the one they have named Fat Bastard, captured it so poignantly with this line: I eat because I am unhappy, and I am unhappy because I eat. Is it that case for you too?

If you are one of us, one of those women who are afflicted with food addiction, the first step towards recovery always involves recognition. Recognize and admit to yourself that you have an issue that you need to deal with and that you are using food to cover up for the fear, the anxiety and the sadness that you feel whenever you are forced to face something you do not want to handle.

Once you have gotten a handle of the situation, the next step would be to determine what gives you so much stress and anxiety, enough to turn to the comfort of food. More often than not, it has something to do with self-image. If it is indeed the case, that your food addiction has something to do with self-image, then the next step would be to embrace what you are and accept that you cannot be what you are not.

Most importantly, do not take this journey of ridding yourself with food addiction alone. It is so very easy to fall back into the old pattern of bingeing after being upset with something if you are dealing with it alone. Seek help with a counselor or a support group. There are others like us, like you; you need not go through this all alone.

* Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rought skin while the oil seals the moisture.

* Slough off dead skin cells with a solution made of sea salt lemon. Brush it into hands with an old toothbrush. Do this twice a week to soften hands and remove discoloration.

* Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub briskly. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon honey and one teaspoon olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then in a pair of cotton gloves for thirty minutes. The heat helps the treatment penetrate.

* Warm a cup of milk in the microwave for thirty seconds (or until warm, but comfortable to the touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen fragile nails.

This movement is very similar to washing your hands and it does not only stimulate circulation, it also warms the hands.

Before you go to bed, lavish on the Vaseline and then pop on a pair of cotton gloves. Your hands will be incredibly soft by morning.

Lip liner is optional but if you use it, it should go on first. Don’t use liner darker than your lipstick, because if the lipstick fades and the liner doesn’t, you’re left with just an outline. Use neutral or lipstick-matched liner.

Starting at the center of your upper lip, draw a line to each outer corner, following the edge of your natural lip line.

Fill in color all over lips if you want extra holding power for your lipstick.

*Hint: Chill lip pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make sharpening easier.

B. Lipstick

A dusting of powder or bit of foundation beneath lipstick can maximize its staying power. Either can dry lips, though, so use a creamy formula lipstick.

Stretch your lips and starting at the center of top or bottom, glide color to corners. Blot, reapply and blot again for longer-lasting color.
