It is important that people over the age of 50 maintain a healthy sex drive.
This is the opinion of Charlotte Watts, co-author of The De-stress Diet and a
nutritional therapist, who said that it helps "promote" a better
"quality of life" and can allow people to control their stress
levels.
"We keep stress hormones down to keep our circulation up, brain function
and anti-stress measures are important for that," she stated.
Ms Watts also recommended yoga to the over-50s. She believes that the exercise
is useful for combating bad posture and circulation problems.
She explained that yoga has a reputation for being good for stress as it
engages the brain, but it is also very good physical exercise for people of
varying capabilities.
This comes after a new YouGov poll showed that 67 per cent of women over the
age of 50 did not realise that cervical screening should be a necessary part of
their regular health check-up.
