Why do we eat?  On the surface it seems like a simple question – we eat because it’s biologically necessary for our survival.  But for us humans, it’s a bit more complex than that.  We eat for a number of reasons.  We eat for social and emotional reasons, to celebrate big occasions, or as solace when we’re depressed or anxious.  Some of us have religious or ethical guidelines for eating.  Many of you listening to this podcast eat to fuel your fitness goals.  Powerlifters, body-builders, endurance athletes, and Crossfitters all eat in a prescribed manner to fuel their activity.  Many of us eat in order to lose – or gain – weight. If you’re at all interested in health and fitness, then you care about nutrition and would like the way you eat help you achieve your body composition or athletic goals.  Or perhaps your goals aren’t as ambitious, maybe you just want to eat healthier in order to be healthier.  Today we’re going to talk about another reason to eat – to optimize your sexual health.My guest today on the Over 50 Health & Wellness show is Christine DeLozier.
