For men who want to have a high libido, should often bask in the sun. Researchers say that the hormone testosterone in the blood triggers the sexual desire will increase along with the addition of vitamin D in the body.

With the aid of ultraviolet rays from the sun, 90 percent of vitamin D in the body can be produced by the skin. Average vitamin D levels were 30 nanograms per milliliter of blood (30ng/ml) and the optimum is 40 to 60 ng / ml.

In one study, researchers from the Medical University of Graz, Austria found that men with high levels of vitamin D in the blood have a high sexual hormones as well.

This study confirmed previous studies which stated that under the sun for an hour can increase the male hormone testosterone as much as 69 percent.

Researchers increasingly believe the discovery that after seeing the decline in testosterone levels of participants in October, which is the month with low sunlight intensity.

“Work on your tan in the sun is the most appropriate action for men who lack vitamin D and want to increase testosterone and libido,” said Ad Brand, representatives of the Sunlight Research Forum in Veldhoven, the Netherlands as reported by the Telegraph.

Not only bask in the sun, men can also get vitamin D from fish oil and meat consumption.
