6 SEXY Foods Set the Mood
If you’re like a lot of folks, you have a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day.
On the one hand, romance and some fun between the sheets sound fantastic. Who WOULDN’T want to sign up for that?!
But on the other, there’s a LOT of pressure to “perform” … in more ways than one.
And let’s face it, if you aren’t a spring chicken anymore, your love life likely isn’t quite what it used to be.
Maybe getting in the mood is challenging at times. Or perhaps “performing” in the bedroom (even when you ARE feeling the romance) doesn’t always go as planned.
And, of course, Valentine’s Day adds a whole new level of pressure.
You probably tell yourself it’s just a “normal part” of getting older.
But the truth is it doesn’t have to be.
In fact, you can reignite your love life starting TODAY, the most romantic day of the year. And it doesn’t even require popping a prescription pill.
Just grab your shopping bags and head to the grocery store…
I know it might sound odd. But what’s on your fork really CAN affect your love life.
And the reason WHY is actually quite simple.
Several factors contribute to a healthy libido. But two of the most important are the production of hormones and proper blood circulation.
And, of course, those things are influenced by the nutrients available to MAKE them happen.
In other words, the nutrients you consume impact your hormones and circulation… AND your libido as a result.
The following are six “sexy” foods that can bring fun back into the bedroom starting TONIGHT.
Cruciferous vegetables: I’m going to take a wild guess here and say you’ve never thought of cruciferous veggies like kale, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts as romance foods. But they’re actually packed with nutrients that encourage the production of sex hormones.
They contain zinc, which improves sperm quality. And nutrients like manganese and magnesium enhance estrogen. (And yes, men DO produce estrogen too.)
Spinach and broccoli are rich in vitamin E, vital for producing sex hormones.
Plus, cruciferous vegetables contain a compound called 3,3-Diindolylmethane or DIM. DIM reduces elevated estrogen levels and supports estrogen detoxification leading to balanced levels.
Fruit: B vitamins boost your energy levels and promote the production of sex hormones.
Citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons are rich in several B vitamins. And avocados and bananas are brimming with B6.
Plus, the vitamin C in kiwis, citrus fruits, and strawberries boosts testosterone levels and improves sex drive.
Salmon: The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, such as salmon, trigger a dopamine release stimulating the pleasure centers in your brain. Plus, omega-3s promote healthy circulation, which is critical for good bedroom performance.
Dark chocolate: This classic Valentine’s treat promotes the production of the “feel good” hormones dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. This can put you “in the mood” and stimulate desire.
Eating dark chocolate is also linked to lower artery inflammation and higher nitric oxide levels, which support healthy circulation and improve bedroom performance.
Olive oil: Studies show olive oil is linked to higher serum testosterone levels. The delicious and healthy oil increases luteinizing hormone, stimulating cells in the testes to produce more testosterone.
Oysters: Oysters are a classic choice when it comes to romance. They’re rich in zinc which supports prostate health and stimulates testosterone production. Plus, they boost dopamine which boosts libido.
Now, keep in mind these foods aren’t magic pills that will always instantly put you in the mood or stimulate performance.
But when you make them a REGULAR part of your diet, they provide your body with the nutrients needed to get your love life back on track.
P.S. Researchers have identified a potent compound that can improve sexual performance in diabetics by 45 percent. Click here to read about it.
