Sex Drive Foods

Which are the sex drive foods that help improve our sex life? 

Keeping a healthy sex drive is linked to feeling physically and emotionally, happy, stable, energetic and healthy.

I think it comes to no surprise that food can help enhance of getting you back into the sex groove. If you’ve hit a slump in the bedroom, it may be wise to take a closer look at your diet and nutrition.

It’s commonly perceived that foods that look like body parts can boost your sex drive. In general, any health food is beneficial to your libido; however, certain foods are particularly helpful. Walnuts, meat, oysters, strawberries, avocados, almonds, salmon, nuts and seeds, garlic, dark chocolate, eggs, cherries and bulletproof coffee.

These foods are packed with stimulating nutrients that can help perk up your libido and may improve your overall health, too.

Grass-fed Meat for uninterrupted blood flow, which is critical to sexual response in both men and women

Proteins are essential for our overall health. Our cells depend on amino acids for regeneration of tissues. So it’s vital to include a variety of meats in your diet to improve your sex drive and sex life. Beef, chicken, and lamb, rabbit contain carnitine, L-arginine, and zinc. Carnitine and L-arginine are amino acids that help improve blood flow. Fluent blood flow is essential for our overall health. Uninterrupted blood flow is critical to sexual response in both men and women. According to research, these two nutrients may effectively treat erectile dysfunction in some men.

Serve up grass-fed meat in moderation to help keep all systems running smoothly and effectively in the bedroom.

Free-range eggs for healthy erections 

Consume free-range effs for healthy erections. Free range eggs are full of healthy fatty acids and contain amino acid l-arginine which may help improve erectile dysfunction.

Dark chocolate (please buy without sugars) a stimulant that elicits excitement and a sense of well-being

Dark chocolate is known to release serotonin and endorphins that improve your mood. Dark chocolate contains phenylethylamine — a stimulant that elicits excitement and a sense of well-being. Always ensure to get dark chocolate that’s at least 75 % cacao and without artificial sugars.

Having a good and positive mood is always better to increase the fun-factors in the bedroom.

Bulletproof Coffee can stimulate the brain to heighten arousal

Coffee is a stimulant and can spike your sex drive because it can stimulate the brain to heighten arousal. If you drink your coffee bulletproof, you can also enjoy the benefits of healthy fatty acids, which are in turn beneficial for your blood flow.

Please note that too much coffee is not good either. Try to stick to no more than one cup a day. Coffee is also an irritant to your digestive system and may cause inflammation. 

Oysters contain compounds that help raise testosterone and estrogen level

You’ve probably heard about the aphrodisiac benefits of oysters, clams and scallops before. They contain compounds that help raise testosterone and estrogen levels. Hormone boost usually translates into more sexual desires. Oysters also help increase the blood flow to your sexual organs, which in turn helps both genders. There is an urban legend that says Casanova once seduced a virgin by sliding an oyster from his lips to hers. Yum … sound sexy…

Salmon feeds your libido

Salmon is one of my favourite fish and is popular for having heart-healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help prevent the buildup of plaque in your arteries, thus, again, is helpful for keeping our blood flow running and to help protect our heart health. Salmon helps feed our libido by supplying the building blocks for the production of hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.

Almonds/Walnuts arouse passion in females

There is something about the aroma of almonds which is purported to arouse passion in females. Walnuts and almonds have been the symbol of fertility in art. Besides that, they are also a prime source of healthy fatty acids like omega-3, which, again, help with hormone production.

Garlic ensures blood flow to sexual organs 

Your mother might have warned you to never eat garlic before going on a date, but in this case, this is one piece of advice you may ignore.

Garlic is a natural blood thinner and is also often used to help prevent high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. Garlic has anticoagulant properties that help ensure plenty of blood flow to your sexual organs. A generous dose of garlic before an amorous evening will both benefit you and your partner under the condition that you both ate the pungent herb!

Ginseng helps increase libido and sexual performance 

Research found that Ginseng herb helps increase libido and sexual performance. Ginseng is a very powerful herb that likely affects the central nervous system, altering hormones in the process.

Saffron helps increase sperm motility in infertile men.

The aphrodisiac uses of saffron date back to Cleopatra, who reportedly bathed in saffron-infused milk for its aphrodisiac qualities. Recent research has shown that saffron also helps increase sperm motility in infertile men. Saffron also has the ability to help decrease some of the sexual side effects from taking certain antidepressants.

Asparagus increases blood and oxygen flow to the genitals

Asparagus contains high amounts of vitamin E which can increase blood and oxygen flow to the genitals. Asparagus also contains high levels of potassium — which is linked to sex hormone production.

Avocados help increase testosterone production 

Avocados contain a lot of healthy fatty acids and high levels of folic acid, vitamin B9 (helps increase energy ) and vitamin B6 (which helps increase testosterone production).

Bananas increase sex drive in men 

Bananas contain bromelain enzyme, which is believed to increase a man’s sex drive. The high levels of potassium, riboflavin, and vitamin B2 (super important to keep your energy levels up while you are busy keeping it up).

Vanilla smells so sexy 

Who doesn’t like vanilla? Not only does Vanilla smell sexy but it can also create an overall calming effect.

Watermelon increases sexual arousal 

Watermelon helps increase nitric acid in the body, which in turn increases blood flow, blood vessel relaxation, and sexual arousal.

Honey is a prescription for sexual vigour 

In ancient Greek times, Hippocrates used to prescribe honey for sexual vigour. Honey is a liquid gold that contains boron which helps regulates your hormones and the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps open blood vessels, which is helpful in creating erections and clitoral engorgement.

Strawberries help increase libido 

Strawberries are loaded vitamin C, which is important for the production of sex hormones and chemical neurotransmitters in the brain to help increase libido. Another benefit of vitamin C is that it can help keep your immune system up.

Cherries for a healthy sex drive 

Strawberries and cherries look so sexy and inviting. You would eat them just for the looks of it! Not only do they contain healthy potassium and vitamin C, but they also contain powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and help maintain a healthy sex drive.

Empowering others via my anti-ageing wellness platform and holistic health books

I hope you liked this sex drive foods article. If you would like to learn more about living a life full of energy and stamina, ensure to check out other pages of this anti-ageing wellness platform. 

I changed the way I eat in 2011 when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue, conditions where the thyroid is affected. I had no energy, was exhausted, desperate, and my weight had sky-rocketed.

Because of that, I decided to ditch sugars, processed foods, grains, dairy and toxic chemicals. And step-by-step, I introduced a whole-foods-based (first Paleo) and later an AIP (autoimmune protocol) friendly ketogenic approach to food which gave me my life, vitality, happiness and energy back!

Now, through my holistic wellness books and anti-ageing health platform, I want to empower people around the world do the same and regain their health, hair, life, vitality and beauty!
