An apple a day may keep the doctor away but these five foods will keep your sex life active.
Broccoli contains a high vitamin c content and has been associated with an improved female libido. Vitamin C boosts blood circulation to organs and well, we know where that helps. You can eat it raw, sautéed or cooked as a side dish or in your salad, it delivers the same benefit. Smear broccoli all over your body and watch the fireworks go off! Well, maybe not.
Watermelon is about 92 percent water but the remaining 8 percent is loaded with vital nutrients for sexual health. Researchers at the Texas A&M Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center, yup that’s a real research center, reported finding in 2008 that watermelon has ingredients that delivered Viagra-like effects to the human body's blood vessels and could even aid in increasing libido. Watermelon contains a phytonutrient called citrulline, which the body converts to arginine, an amino acid that boosts nitric oxide levels in the body, which relax blood vessels in the same way a medicine like Viagra performs. Hey, watermelon man!
Black Raspberries matter, both the berries and the seeds, for getting you “in the mood.” They have an abundance of phytochemicals which enhances both the libido and sexual endurance. Tonight is date night? Consume 10 black raspberries or a tablespoon of seeds a few hours before and rock-on!
Almonds are nutrient-dense and rich in several trace minerals that are important for sexual health and reproduction, such as zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Zinc helps enhance libido and sexual desire. Ok, I’ve got to say it. Go nuts for sex!
Arugula, since the first century, has been regarded as an arousal aid for sex. Current research reveals that the trace minerals and antioxidants packed into dark, leafy greens are essential for our sexual health because they help block absorption of some of the environmental contaminants thought to negatively impact our libido.
An arugula salad sprinkled with sliced almonds and a bowl of black raspberries for dessert? Oh the humanity!
