Foods to Improve Your S*x Drive –
Dr.Pataskar Omprakash MBBS,MD
With the help of the experts, here is a list of foods that can be a good start to improving s*xual health
An aphrodisiac is a substance or activity that is supposed to heighten s*xual interest and desire. Many substances throughout history have been used as aphrodisiacs The term comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sensuality and love. The Greeks referred to s*xual pleasure as aphrodisia, so it stands to reason that a substance that enhances this experience would be given this name.Many foods are considered aphrodisiacs, including some surprising foods like…
Watermelon
This popular summer fruit is low in calories, but also high in potentially libido-boosting phytonutrients.In 2008, Texas A&M research suggested that the lycopene, citrulline, and beta-carotene found in watermelon may help relax blood vessels, and provide a natural enhancement for reviving up your s*x drive.True, cool and juicy slabs of watermelon are a staple at G-rated family picnics, but this super-sweet fruit is also a s*x-booster. First, bright-red watermelon contains an amino acid called l-citrulline, which helps relax and dilate blood vessels, naturally increasing blood flow to s*xual organs and contributing to a hotter climax.
A typical 4-ounce serving of watermelon (about 10 watermelon balls) has about 150 milligrams of citrulline. But he can't say how much citrulline is needed to have Vi**ra-like effects. Rich in citrulline, watermelon increases nitric oxide, opening blood vessels and speeding up circulation, which may increase arousal. Watermelon may help improve blood flow to erectile tissue (present in the female clit¬oral area as well as the male p***s), increasing arousal. L-arginine works like Vi**ra by increasing nitric oxide to help relax blood vessels and allow more blood flow to the p***s," Foods that are high in L-arginine are also high in omega-3s, which is a bonus as omega-3s enable your body to better absorb L-arginine, researchers writing in health the journal Nutrition & Metabolism found.For longer lasting er****ons, load up on oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, walnuts, and free-range game meat. Happily, dark chocolate also has high levels of L-arginine
Nuts
Many varieties, including walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pine nuts, Brazil nuts and peanuts, contain the essential amino acid l-arginine, which helps the brain do its job circulating neurotransmitters, brain chemicals that send messages to cells And the fatty acids in nuts increase endorphins, making you feel more relaxed,” says Balleck. L-arginine also has been shown to dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow to the ge****ls, which in turn may enhance arousal and intensify or***ms. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, peanuts. are high in magnesium, a mineral, influences production of serotonin, a "feel-good" brain chemical. pumpkin seeds are high in zinc and a whole host of other vitamins and minerals that increase testosterone production and libido. Roast them for a great pre-dinner snack, or just toss them in a salad.
Chocolate: Pure, dark chocolate has a centuries old reputation as an aphrodisiac. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which stimulates the same hormone your body releases during s*x. It also sparks dopamine production in the brain. chemcial phenylethylamine which mimics the feeling of being in love in anyone who eats it. stimulates the sense of excitement and well being It doesn’t take much. Try a square or two of low-sugar, vegan dark chocolate
Cold-water fish
Wild salmon, herring, sardines, anchovies, tuna (not more than once per week), rainbow trout, mackerel.
There's a reason fish is known as "brain food." Fatty fish such as wild salmon contain the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which has been shown to increase the membrane quality and nerve function of gray matter in the brain American Heart Association recommends that everyone eat fish twice weekly. Fatty fish are also a good source of vitamin D, a nutrient that tends to be deficient in our diets and [which] in adequate supply can help prevent cancer, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and bone disease,"
Eggs
"Eggs are high in protein, which is a source of stamina, and they're also low in calories," Glassman says. "In addition, they're a good source for an amino acid L-arginine, which has been shown effective in treating types of heart ailments and erectile dysfunction. Eggs contain vitamins B6 and B5 that promote healthy hormone levels and decrease stress. Want a s*xier option? Try caviar. Both bird and fish eggs have these properties.
Lobster
it’s a good source of lean protein, copper, zinc and selenium. Zinc, in particular, has been linked with a healthy male libido, says deVillers. Lobster is also chock full of the mineral phosphorus, which boosts both your s*x drives, says Balleck. Plus, its concentration of essential fatty acids may increase sensitivity in your s*x organs.
Celery
It may seem like all this crunchy veggie has going for it is its low calorie count, but trust us, it’s s*xy, too. Celery contains chemicals called androsterone and adrostenal, which make us feel more s*xually attractive, says Balleck. She also notes that celery contains a small amount of male hormones, which can boost female arousal. Need more? “Celery’s balance of sodium and potassium make it an excellent diuretic,
Asparagus
Known for its suggestive shape, asparagus is high in a B vitamin known as folate that aids in increasing the production of histamine. Histamine is important for a healthy s*x drive in men and women.3 The most delicious asparagus is just picked, it is so sweet! Grow your own or buy it fresh and organic at your local farmers market.
Green tea
Despite the caffeine, the L-theanine in green tea seems to be profoundly relaxing, with effects that last up to eight hours," Reardon says. L-theanine is easily absorbed and can cross the blood-brain barrier, adding to its effectiveness.
Oysters:
More than an aphrodisiacOysters have been revered as the ultimate aphrodisiac for, literally, centuries — with world-renowned 18th-century lover Casanova claimed to eat 50 oysters for breakfast each day to keep him on top of his game. Oysters have long been suspected as a love drug.Their high zinc content in oysters helps to increase testosterone levels, which are responsible for an increase in s*xual desire, Men's Health reported. six raw oysters — delivering double the recommended daily intake of zinc — was enough to boost s*x drive Oysters improves dopamine levels which boosts libido in men and women. Oysters are also high in zinc which is vital for testosterone production and healthy s***m. Sharing a tray of oysters can easily lead to a night of romance. That's because oysters are a triple threat aphrodisiac: their zinc content increases your libido-enhancing testosterone levels, their dopamine makes you feel warn and libidinous and many find their slippery texture erotic.
Olive oil Or**sm worries in women find an answer in olive oil, which triggers the production of the testosterone hormone. "A lack of this hormone can lead to lack of desire and s*xual pleasure and an inability to achieve an or**sm. So, be liberal with monounsaturated fats like olive oil,"
Broccoli
While virtually all vegetables deserve a place on the super foods list, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are helpful in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. It's loaded with vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and a phytochemical called sulphoraphane, which may have anticancer (prostate and colon) properties.
A recent Harvard study found that participants who had five servings a week of cruciferious vegetables were half as likely as others to develop bladder cancer, a cancer that affects two to three times as many men as women. This super-nutritious green vegetable may also help lower levels of homocycteine, an amino acid associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Don't care for broccoli? Go for other cruciferous choices like cabbage, bok choy, shredded broccoli slaw, cabbage, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.
Berries or Cherries
The violet, blue, and red colors in all kinds of berries and cherries are responsible for the healthy properties of these fruits. These little jewels are chock-full of the health-protecting flavonoid, anthocyanin. "Berries contain over 4,000 different compounds that have antioxidant properties beyond vitamin C, so make sure you include these delicious and low-calorie fruits to help meet your 5+ servings of fruits each day," says Gerbstadt.
Adding berries to the diet may even help slow the decline in brain function that can occur with aging. : Blueberries contain dopamine, a neurotransmitter whose job is to stimulate your brain’s pleasure centers (the ones that make you say, “Ooh!”). "Large studies show the more produce you eat the better, but specifically berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and cherries) can enhance brain function and keep your brain healthy," strawberries contains high amount of vitamin C, folic acid and fiber, strawberries are a good source of potassium, which helps you avoid fluid retention (goodbye mood-killing bloat). “They even contain omega-3 fatty acids, highly valued for their contribution to a healthy cardiovascular system,” says deVillers. And that’s essential for s*xual arousal and responsiveness
Saffron
Though on the pricey side, this spice is a treat for your stomach and s*x life. Researchers at the University of Guelph have found that saffron can improve s*xual performance. To use, Glassman suggests soaking the threads in hot liquid for 15 minutes then adding to any grain like rice, quinoa, or barley -- or use it in a soup or stew.
Honey:
Rich in B vitamins, organic raw honey supports testosterone production, which can increase desire. It also contains the boron used in estrogen production, which is important for female desire. Use honey to sweeten a cup of tea. Be sure to purchase local if possible and from an ethical source.
Garlic:
Garlic contains allicin, which increases blood flow. The result may be improved stamina and s*xual energy
Ginger: Just like chili peppers, ginger spices things up and increases circulation and body temperature. In fact, legend says famous French courtesan Madame du Barry provided ginger to all of her lovers to increase their desire and improve their pleasure. Mix up a batch of Detox Tea, or add ginger to stir-fries.
Chili peppers: The capsaicin in peppers heats up the body and increases blood flow. They also cause the brain to release endorphins, which are a feel-good chemical. Along with the internal effects leading to s*xual desire, they have temporary external effects that cause the outer appearance of s*xual desire, such as flushed skin and swollen lips. This creates a powerful one-two punch that just may cause s*xual desire, and many cultures throughout history have used peppers as an aphrodisiac. Sprinkle cayenne on avocados, or add a little to zip up soups and stir-fries. While chilies stimulate your taste buds they are also stimulating your blood. This extra flow gets things moving to important parts which is a big part of getting both parties in the mood. Chilies also release endorphins that make you feel really good
Avocado: This silky, mild fruit has a reputation as an aphrodisiac extending back to ancient Aztec times. In fact, the Aztecs called the avocado tree “Ahuacuatl,” which translates to “testicle tree.” Slice half an avocado and eat it alone or as part of a tossed green salad. An avocado contains a one-two punch of passion: potassium to give your libido a jump start and folic acid to give you lasting energy
Cardamom: In the Arabian Nights, you can read of the use of this ancient spice as an aphrodisiac. The spice comes in pods, which you can grind for use as needed.
This sweet Indian spice is rich in cineole which stimulates libido Cardamom is warming and pungent, and can increase blood flow, which probably accounts for its aphrodisiac properties. It is also an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. You can macerate ground pods in hot water to make a tea, like a classic Indian chiai, or sprinkle it over a stir-fry or soup.
Basil: You can use this sweet, pungent herb to liven up your meals and your s*x life. Sprinkle a little chopped, fresh basil over tomatoes or top off a homemade vegetable soup with it. It not only adds fresh flavor, but it could also enhance s*xual desire by increasing heart rate and improving blood flow.
Cinnamon: Eating cinnamon heats up your body and, in turn, your s*x drive. Cinnamon also has anti-inflammatory properties, and can help normalize blood sugar. Try this warming spice sprinkled on a warm glass of almond milk.
Maca Root
You may not have heard of maca root, but this Peruvian tuber is making a big splash in North America thanks to its special properties. The maca root has high concentrations of the chemical p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, minerals and fatty acids which all increase libido
