Have a date with your husband or wife? These foods, either scientifically or traditionally proven are good to get you in a good mood and to have fun. This article delves into these foods and how beneficial it can be.
Celery
This fibrous vegetable is one of the best ways to improve your sex life, as it contains androsterone, a hormone men release that appeals to women.
Kiwis
Vitamin C is known to help increase both libido and fertility. Kiwi, a deliciously exotic fruit, is loaded with Vitamin C, so it’s a great item to toss in your grocery cart every week, along with other citrus fruits.
Spinach
Leafy green vegetables, like spinach, contain lots of folic acid, which can help increase fertility and boost your libido.
Garlic
High in an ingredient called allicin, garlic can help stimulate circulation and blood flow to sexual organs in both men and women. However, because of garlic’s mood-killing smell, eat it in moderation. You can also opt for garlic pills if you want to bypass the bad breath altogether.
Chili peppers
This invigorating spice has an exotic reputation and a bright red colour, which could be why chili peppers are considered natural aphrodisiac foods and a symbol of love. But there’s scientific backing, too. Chili peppers stimulate endorphins (the brain’s feel-good chemicals), speed up heart rate and make you sweat, which all mimic how you feel when you’re aroused.
Avocado
It could be the sensuous pear shape, or the rich flavour of the fruit that gave avocado its reputation as an aphrodisiac food as far back as the Aztecs. And while the jury is still out on just how lustful avocados are, the fruit’s high levels of vitamin E could help keep the spark alive because of its role in helping your skin maintain a “youthful appearance.”
Bananas
Bananas already have a way of getting you into a good mood, but these aphrodisiac foods also contain bromelain, an enzyme which triggers testosterone production, and the fruit’s potassium and vitamin B elevate energy levels.
Honey
Honey is made through pollination and is a symbol of procreation. Birds and bees ring a bell? In fact, the word “honeymoon” originates from mead, an alcoholic beverage made from honey given to the happy new bride and groom. It also contains boron, which helps regulate estrogen and testosterone levels and provides a natural energy boost.
Watermelon
According to Science Daily, this “lycopene king” may have a Viagra-like effect on the body, as it relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation.
Olive oil
Packed with antioxidants, olives and their oil have been used for centuries for health. The Greeks believed it was an aphrodisiac that made men more virile as well. Olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are critical for a healthy heart, blood flow, and hormone production.
Cherries
This superfruit is packed with feel-good vitamins (A, C, and E), potassium, magnesium, folate, iron and more. It also has melatonin, an antioxidant to help regulate your heart.
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium—156 mg in just an ounce! Magnesium helps raise testosterone level.
Oysters
This seafood delight is rich in zinc, which is known for increasing libido and the production of sperm cells. For men trying to have children, this well-known aphrodisiac is a great way to get in the mood and increase the chances of conceiving.
Ginger
According to a study in the International Journal of Cardiology, just one teaspoon of ginger per week can help improve artery function—meaning that you'll get blood moving to all the right parts. So, next time you get sushi, don't skimp on the ginger.
Figs
Used by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the fig paradoxically symbolizes both sexuality (the ripe fruit with seeds representing fertility) and modesty (the fig leaf). They are full of potassium and are an antioxidant powerhouse.
Some non-natural foods like canned tuna, red wine, dark chocolate, whipped cream also sets the mood. Other natural foods may also include strawberries, blueberries, sweet potato and pomegranate juice. You may also want to try them.
