JAKARTA - Decreasing sexual enthusiasm is a common problem, especially in women. The causes can vary, ranging from hormonal imbalance, menstrual cycle, obesity, stress, fatigue, to side effects of drugs. However, did you know that consuming eggs can provide benefits to sexual health?

According to Rajeswari V Shetty, Consultant and Head of Dietics Department at SL Raheja Hospital, Mahim, Mumbai, eggs contain high protein content, rich nutritional profiles, and unique chemical compositions that can have a positive impact on libido and sexual health as a whole.

"The egg contains vitamins B, especially B6 and B5, which help build sexual arousal and keep the mind free from stress," Shetty said, quoted from the Healthshot page.

"In addition, eggs also help fight stress and balance hormone levels, which are important to keep libido healthy. Eggs can be consumed in various forms, such as boiled, orak-rik, or fried," he added.
