7 FOOD FOR BETTER SEX

There are a number of reasons why your sex life may have lost but you can help eating foods that crucial for sexual health, from erection strength to sperm motility. Research indicates that some specific nutrients from common vitamins to lesser-known plant extracts that have demonstrated positive effects on very specific aspects of penile performance. These are 7 out of many choices.

AVOCADOS - Scientific reason why avocados make sense as an aphrodisiac is that they are rich in unsaturated fats and low in saturated fat, making them good for your heart and your arteries. Anything that keeps the heart beating strong helps keep blood flowing to all the right places; in fact, men with underlying heart disease are twice as likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). 

ALMONDS - These healthy nuts are said to act as a sexual stimulant and a fertility aid, so if you’re trying for a baby, start snacking. They are rich in nutrients and in several minerals that are important for sexual health and reproduction, including zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Zinc can also help enhance sexual desire.

STRAWBERRIES -   Once your heart’s racing, strawberries can help get the blood flow where it needs to go. They’re packed with anthocyanin’s, colorful plant chemicals which help keep your arteries unclogged, boosting circulation and erection quality. plus, they're rich in vitamin c, which has been linked to higher sperm counts.

OYSTERS -   oysters contain more zinc than any other food source (almost five times your daily DV). This nutrient is essential for testosterone production, and when your T levels droop, so does your business. Like other bivalves, oysters are high in D-aspartic acid, an amino acid that has been shown to temporarily boost low testosterone levels and improve sperm quality in infertile men.

ARUGULA - Arugula has been heralded as an arousal aid since the first century. Today, 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. 

FIGS - They’re also rich in calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc, figs are a great source of fiber, according to BBC Good Food's associate nutritionist Jo Lewin. And, as Lewin points out, we love our fiber because it satisfies hunger and keeps us full longer. So snack on some of these without worrying about adding any uncomfortable bloat.

CITRUS - Any member of this tropical fruit family is super-rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and folic acid—all of which are essential for men’s reproductive health. Enjoy a romantic salad that incorporates citrus, like pink grapefruit or mandarin oranges, or use a dressing made with lemon and lime.
