To awaken sexual desire, raise the degree of sensuality and become more resilient in bed – all this can be achieved with the help of a properly composed menu. What products should be included?
Perhaps we all heard about aphrodisiacs – products that increase sexual activity and cause sexual desire. Since ancient times, this food has been endowed with magical properties. But there is no magic in its action. The ability of individual dishes to increase libido is easy to substantiate from a scientific point of view. So, what to eat, how to eat and where to awaken sexual energy?
1. Cheer up the body and spirit
Processing, constant stress lead to chronic fatigue, which does not contribute to exploits on the sexual front. Therefore, before a date, it does not hurt to recharge your batteries. Food rich in essential oils and alkaline (alkaloidal) compounds will come to the rescue. They help to overcome fatigue, including sexual. Include oatmeal, tea, chocolate, pomegranate juice on the menu, and you will soon notice how sexual desire returns to you.
Ayurveda experts advise betting on spices. Cloves, saffron, ginger and red pepper are believed to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow to the genitals, causing mild arousal. So if you want a first date to grow into something more, make an appointment at an Indian cafe or order dishes generously seasoned with these spices.
2. Influence hormones
Some foods can affect hormonal levels. So, zinc, which is rich in shellfish, nuts, eggs, whole grain bread, brown rice and asparagus, is involved in the production of testosterone in both men and women. So, these products directly contribute to increasing libido. Honey containing boron acts similarly.
Selenium (it is found in oysters, pumpkin, mustard, eggplant) increases the level of the female hormone estrogen. In addition, women during menopause, in order to maintain sexual activity, it is recommended to include foods rich in phytoestrogens in the menu. These are wheat, oats, flax, coriander, green peas, lentils, sweet potatoes, beans, artichoke, arugula, and ginger.
It is important to note that changes in hormonal levels can only be achieved with prolonged use of certain products. So do not expect miracles after one serving.
3. Improve your health
An active sex life is possible only with good physical shape. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the diet with dietary products and products that increase stamina and strengthen immunity.
Your daily menu should be rich in essential fatty acids for health (fish, olive oil, oysters, mussels and other seafood), antioxidants (lemon, honey, cream, nuts, yogurt, tomatoes, tea), iodine (seafood, fish, watercress). lettuce, salt), B vitamins (peanuts, sweet potatoes, chicken, pork, avocados, bananas, beef, oranges, prunes, rice, tomatoes) and iron (chocolate, beef liver, buckwheat, spinach, corn, cinnamon).
But heavy and fatty foods need to say a resolute “no”. Not only is it unhealthy and contributes to the appearance of excess weight, such food is not an assistant in love affairs. The maximum that awaits a couple after a too dense dinner is to watch the series together.
4. Create a romantic atmosphere
Not only what you eat is important, but also how. Do you want a romantic dinner to be a prelude to a wild night? Take care not only about the menu, but also about the right atmosphere. Beautifully set the table, light candles, dim the lights, turn off the TV and turn on light relaxing music. True, it may not even come to tasting dishes.
