And who has time for romance? Family time with your husband or wife and the kids is as close to "together" time as you can manage-or maybe it's just the few minutes you have with your partner to catch up with each other in bed before you pass out exhausted.

Well, it's time to make time. Eating healthy and maintaining a vigorous, active relationship with your partner is essential to good health and happiness. If you can start eating and drinking all of the right foods, you'll have more energy, feel better, and most likely live longer, too. If you don't ignite the spark in your relationship at least a few times a week, you and your partner will grow bored and could start looking for sexual excitement elsewhere, which certainly is never good news.

So how do you both start getting all of the nutrition you need and turning up the heat in your romance life? By taking the time to plan a menu schedule for the week that's both good for you and good for your romp in the bedroom!

Start by reviewing the USDA food pyramid at www.mypyramid.gov. You need to design a meal plan so that you get enough grains, vegetables, fruits, protein, and dairy servings to match your age and gender. Eating healthy doesn't have to mean eating cardboard, either!

Research good-tasting food that's good for you and you can ignite your senses and put yourself in the mood for romance. What kind of aphrodisiacs would turn you on? Oysters? Strawberries? Honey? And for that matter, do aphrodisiac foods really work?
