Want to sort out your love life? Drink some juice

Marie Claire news: fruit juice Rex Features

If you feel like you're not getting enough bedroom action, we've got the answer: drink some fruit juice.

Researchers have discovered that pomegranate is the number one beverage to stimulate the libido (aside from a chilled glass of champagne of course!), with cranberry and orange juice following closely behind.

Pomegranate juice even causes couples to kiss more passionately, according to the study carried out by Pomegreat.

It comes as no surprise that the juice had a greater effect on the men's sexual appetite than the women's, causing the men to feel increasingly frisky after a good glug of the drink.

'We had anticipated that the pomegranate might produce a different effect on mind and body to the other two juices since its health benefits are widely known and have been intensively studied,' says Duncan Smith, head of the research team.

'What we wanted to find out was whether pomegranate was equally effective in stimulating the libido – in other words in getting the love juices flowing.  Our findings clearly show that they most definitely do, especially for men, and that their effect is far greater than we expected.'

Not only could a swig of Pomegranate spice of your love life, it is bursting with antioxidants, which reduce the risk of heart disease and even prevent dental plaque – truly a superfood!
