FOODS FOR THE LIBIDO

[BABY1]

TweetA recent article in Men’s Health Magazine says the following foods will help with your sex life:

Eggs

Scrambled, poached, or hard-boiled, eggs are a good source of B vitamins, a key nutrient for keeping your sex drive roaring and your mind stress-free. Feeling anxious, jittery, or stressed out causes B vitamins to take a dip. So, keep your levels high and you’ll stay calmer in the bedroom and reducing your risk of performance anxiety and premature ejaculation.

Celery

Every stalk of celery is packed with androstenone and androstenol, two pheromones that can help you attract women (these steroids are different from the steroid androstenedione). Celery releases androstenone and androstenol odor molecules into your mouth. They then travel up the back of your throat to your nose. Once there, the pheromones boost your arousal, turning you on and causing your body to send off scents and signals that make you more desirable to women.

Vanilla Ice Cream

Ice cream has high levels of calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that build your muscles’ energy reserves and boost your libido. Calcium (200 milligrams in the typical bowl) can also make your orgasms more powerful, since the muscles that control ejaculation need calcium to work properly. A study conducted at Chicago’s Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that when men smell the scent of vanilla, it relaxes them, reducing anxiety and inhibitions.

Brazil Nuts

Cigarette smoke, air pollution, and other toxins in the air can damage your sperm, altering the DNA inside your cells and possibly increasing your child’s risk of birth defects. Brazil nuts are a top source of selenium, a vitamin that helps keep sperm cells healthy while also helping them swim faster. When researchers in the United Kingdom had men with fertility problems increase their selenium intake, the men produced hardier, more viable sperm cells.

Liver

Studies show that men who get plenty of vitamin A each day have higher sperm counts and perform better sexually than men who don’t. Liver is also an excellent source of zinc. Your body expels 5 milligrams of zinc—a third of your daily requirement—every time you ejaculate, so a single amorous weekend could leave your body’s zinc reserves low.

Peaches

Men who don’t take in enough vitamin C produce lower-quality sperm. University of Texas researchers found that men who consumed at least 200 milligrams of vitamin C a day had higher sperm counts than men who took in less. Keep a bag of frozen peach slices—they have more C than fresh ones do—in your freezer to dump in smoothies or add to your morning cereal. A single cup of the fruit has more than twice your daily vitamin C requirement.

Blueberries

Blueberries are loaded with soluble fiber, which helps push excess cholesterol through your digestive system. They’re also packed with compounds that help relax your blood vessels, improving circulation. Lower cholesterol and better bloodflow means more blood to the penis and stronger erections as you grow older. For maximum potency and performance, eat a serving of blueberries (fresh or blended into a drink) at least three or four times a week.

Breakfast Cereal

Check the label on your morning cereal and make sure you’re eating a brand loaded with thiamin and riboflavin. Both vitamins help you use energy efficiently, are vital for the nervous system to function properly, which translates into more stimulation and pleasure during sex.

Steak

The protein in lean steak will naturally boost levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, two chemicals in the brain that heighten sensitivity during sex. Your steak also has zinc—a mineral that boosts libido. And best of all, eating red meat can help boost your testosterone level while limiting your body’s production of SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin)—a substance that prevents bloodflow to the penis and reduces male sexual stamina.

Chocolate

After your steak, finish the evening with a couple of pieces of dark chocolate. The cocoa in chocolate contains methylxanthines, stimulants that increase your body’s sensitivity and also contains phenylethylamine, a chemical that can give you a slight natural high.
