Are you looking for a way to put that vivacity back into your sex life? If you are then this is the perfect time to switch to the right kind of foods that can actually help you with your love life. Believe it or not, there are certain edibles that have aphrodisiac qualities and in this article, we are going to unravel them.
1. Nothing Like Chocolate
Luckily chocolate gets another good excuse to be eaten. Apparently, research has shown that chocolate contains a chemical known as tryptophan which happens to be the primal building block of a chemical found in the brain – serotonin. Serotonin has a lot to do with sexual arousal.
Furthermore chocolate also contains phenylethylamine, another stimulant of the brain which is released in times of love. It is important to mention here that women might be more susceptible to such foods because their bodies can release four times the endorphins by simply eating a piece of chocolate as compared to when kissed passionately.
2. Nuts
Apparently, the dry-looking nuts can really send the juices running in a woman especially. It is found that the smell of nuts has some aphrodisiac effect on the body of a woman. Amino acid arginine which is found in nuts also boosts blood circulation to different parts of the body (which includes the sexual parts as well!)
3. Guacamole
Avocados aren’t only good to make a delicious dip, they are also a good source of folic acid that can up energy levels. Moreover, avocados contain potassium and vitamin B6 which have a lot to do with inducing passion.
4. Celery Sticks
Not one of the top spot holders but celery is known to boost the production of androsterone which is a male hormone that can strangely arouse a woman.
5. Get Hot With Chilies
When chilies get you hot, it is both literally and sexually. Chilies contain a chemical known as capsaicin which triggers the release of endorphins and we all know when a lot of endorphins are released, it gives us a euphoric feeling.
6. Edamame
Those green edamame beans you get on the side of sushi have more advantages than you or anyone else is ready to grant them being vegetables. Edamame beans contain soy which acts as a natural lubricant for women and men they can actually help in producing healthier prostrate.
7. The Odd-Looking Fennel
If a woman is looking for something to revitalize her sex life then she should certainly get in the habit of eating fennel since it contains a similar compound to estrogen which is the female sex hormone.
8. Garlic
Though garlic breath can really kill the mood the compound that it contains, allicin, can really boost blood circulation, especially in the pelvic region.
9. Fruit Viagra
No, there is no such fruit; but yes it is a nickname for Goji berries and they are called such because they have a lot to do with improving the sex drive. Not only do they provide a lot of stamina and a good mood, but they are also a good source of antioxidants that can raise the level of testosterone in both genders.
10. Sweet Honey
The naturally sweet honey can really boost energy levels as well as stamina to support activities later in the night. It also contains a compound – boron—which can help in the production of estrogen.
11. Slimy Oysters
Oysters can give a kick to the sexual drive because they contain amino acids and dopamine, both of which help in increasing the levels of testosterone.
12. Pumpkin Seeds
Another thing that pumps up the testosterone level is pumpkin seed as it contains zinc. So nibble on them all you want if you are looking to raise your libido.
