HEALTHY TIPS FOR LIFESTYLE: Red wine boosts sexual desire in women

Move over sex toys and tantric art, a glass or two of red wine are more than enough to increase a woman''s libido, say researchers.

As for the reason: Italian doctors, who carried out the study, claim that chemical compounds found in red wine may boost sexual functioning by increasing blood flow to key areas of the body, The Telegraph reported.

To reach the conclusion, doctors at the University of Florence recruited 800 women aged 18 to 50. None of the women had ever reported a sexual health problem.

The volunteers were split into three groups as those who regularly consumed one or two glasses of red wine a day, those who consumed less than one glass a day of any sort of wine or other alcohol, and those who were teetotal.
