When your sex life needs to be supercharged with new life try some Aphrodisiac foods and have fun with the experience. So, you’re wondering what are these foods? Well since the days of Montezuma one that has withstood the test of time is chocolate. In fact, Montezuma was known to have drunk something like 50-goblets of hot chocolate before facing his harem of around 600 women. And Napoleon Bonaparte sure may have had “a complex”, but he took seriously eating chocolate truffles as a sex-aid before a night of romance.
Whether or not there is scientific evidence to support the many claims to aphrodisiac foods, believers are there. And aphrodisiac foods run the gamut beyond chocolate. Honey, saffron, asparagus, avocados, basil, grapes, strawberries are on many a person’s short list. It’s hard to believe that anyone would claim garlic or onions to be aphrodisiac foods, but they do make it on the occasional list. The caveat here is a warning that the seriously bad breath that follows; might kill the mood.
What about Oysters? First of all, eating raw oysters-on-the-half-shell with your mate can be an extremely hot and romantic experience, if you both like raw oysters. If you don’t like raw, but like oysters cooked, enjoy them this way and benefit from the zinc within (oysters are loaded with zinc). For men, a zinc deficiency can lead to reduced testosterone levels which can cause low libido.
There are other foods that can help build up the testosterone levels for men and women. A few include mung bean sprouts and pumpkin seeds. Note: While women’s bodies contain about one-third the level of testosterone as men, women also require an adequate supply of this hormone for sexual desire.
Keep in mind that deficiencies in certain nutrients can pave the way for less than optimal functioning of hormone levels, organs and energy.
One final note, many aphrodisiac foods find their direct connection to sexual parts. A few of these are: oysters, bananas and zucchinis, and I’m sure you can come up with some of your own!
