According to some studies, one of the keys to having a more fertile sex drive (libido) and ultimately a remarkable sex life is the kind....of food people eat. This implies that eating right enhances good sex.
Beyond the fun of having sex, it has been found to increase bonding between couples, create the requisite atmosphere for having serious conversation and sharing deep secrets, boost their intimacy and further unite them. These numerous benefits seem to underscore the need for couples to have a healthy sex life.
According to a naturopathic physician, Dr. Cammi Balleck, in her report on womansday.com, some food can help boost libido while some others can dampen it. Thus, a poor diet can lead to a dull sex life.
She said, “A healthy balance of vitamins and minerals keeps your endocrine system humming, which in turn regulates the production of the hormones estrogen and testosterone, essential for sexual desire and performance. Enjoying an active sex life is essential to our well-being, and the food we eat play a large role in ensuring we feel in the mood.”
Some of the food that have been identified to play a role in boosting sex drive include water melon, banana, avocados, nuts, cloves, lettuce, ginger, fruits and vegetables, oysters, in moderate quantity, eggs and meals balanced in protein and carbohydrate, among others.
Interestingly, some of these food items increase blood flow to all parts of the body, including the genitals, while some have components that boost sex drive.
For example, researchers from the Texas A&M Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Centre, found that watermelon is a good sexual drive booster. Even though it is 92 per cent water, the remaining eight per cent is full of nutrients that can boost libido and produce the same effects with Viagra, a drug that enhances male potency.
“Watermelon contains a phytonutrient called citrulline, which relaxes blood vessels and improve blood circulation in the same way a medicine like Viagra does. It increases blood flow to parts of the body and helps men to last longer,” the study added.
Also found to be of tremendous help in sexual potency is banana. Cheap, healthy, good source of energy, and has the tendency to reduce stress and anxiety and boost happiness, banana is said to be a storehouse of nutrients that increase energy flow and improve performance in the bedroom.
According to a post on virilityprotocol.com, the tryptophan compound in banana is a good mood-enhancer and its magnesium and manganese compounds help to ensure a healthy and functional prostate. It adds that eating banana before sexual intercourse is good and would enhance performance, especially in men.
“Banana improves sexual function and performance. It is high in bromelain and B vitamins, both of which have been shown to be potent in producing and regulating sexual hormones that can increase sexual desire, sexual function, libido and overall virility.”
Also, in the report posted on mensfitness.com, eggs have been found to boost libido, especially the albumen, which is the white part of the egg. It explains, “Eggs are high in protein, which is a source of stamina, and they’re also low in calories. In addition, they are a good source for an amino acid L-arginine, which has been shown to be effective in treating types of heart ailments and erectile dysfunction.
Another food item that has been found to boost libido are nuts. The study found that apart from reducing cholesterol, nuts are crucial to the synthesis of nitric oxide, a compound in the body involved in generating erections.
