Too often, the typical romantic meal consists of lots of wine and a thick juicy steak, followed by a rich chocolate dessert -- the perfect recipe for sleep, not sex. The best way to keep those libidos lit is to keep it light. By following the low-fat, low-cholesterol Steamier Sex Diet and getting plenty of exercise (to improve overall health -- as well as blood flow to the sex organs), you and your mate can enjoy a healthy sex life for many years to come. Here's how this diet can help:

• If it's good for your overall health, it's good for sex, too. That's why this diet includes low-fat, well-balanced food choices that will keep you feeling spry.

• Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, so many types of seafood have reputations as aphrodisiacs. This food plan includes tasty seafood options sure to stir up the senses.
