When your sex life needs to be supercharged with a new life, try some aphrodisiac foods and have fun with the experience. So you wonder what these foods are? Well, since the days of Montezuma one that has stood the test of time is chocolate. In fact, Montezuma was known to have drank something like 50 cups of hot chocolate before facing his harem of around 600 women. And surely Napoleon Bonaparte had “a complex”, but was serious about eating chocolate truffles as a sexual aid before a night of romance.
Whether or not there is scientific evidence to back up the many aphrodisiac food claims, the believers are there. And aphrodisiac foods go beyond chocolate. Honey, saffron, asparagus, avocados, basil, grapes, strawberries are on many people’s short list. It’s hard to believe anyone would say that garlic or onions are aphrodisiac foods, but they do appear on the occasional list. The warning here is a warning that the serious bad breath that follows; It could kill the mood
And the oysters? First of all, eating raw half-shell oysters with your partner can be a very hot and romantic experience, if you both like raw oysters. If you don’t like raw oysters but like cooked ones, enjoy them this way and benefit from the zinc they contain (oysters are loaded with zinc). In the case of men, a zinc deficiency can cause a reduction in testosterone levels, which can lead to a decrease in libido.
There are other foods that can help increase testosterone levels in men and women. Some include mung bean sprouts and pumpkin seeds. Note: While women’s bodies contain about one-third the level of testosterone as men’s, 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 function of hormone levels, organs, and energy.
One final note, many aphrodisiac foods find their direct connection to the sexual parts. Some of these are: oysters, bananas, and zucchini, and I’m sure you can create some of your own!
