7 surprising foods that can increase your sex drive

24 Oct, 2015
 

 

Now, who doesn’t want to perform their very best in bed? We may not admit it, but most of us want to know the secret to satisfying their partner between the sheets and get better at it day by day.

The easiest and the most effective way to increase your libido lies in the lap of nature itself. Then why pop in libido-enhancing pills or wear that sexy negligee when the secret to a rocking sex drive lies in the food we eat?

Here are some powerful foods that can give your sex life a super boost.

Read on and add them to your shopping list right away!

Honey

Honey

The syrupy rich food of love or honey is so power packed with stimulating nutrients, it’ll surprise you. Honey has been long known to boost testosterone levels in men and the mineral boron that it has is said to act like oestrogen in a woman’s body.
Saffron

Saffron

Rich in antioxidants and all the minerals needed for a healthy sex life, saffron does wonders to both the male and the female sex drive. It is also said to increase the blood flow, thereby making you extra receptive for a naughty night.
Figs

Figs

Figs have long been considered as a promising fertility food. They are rich in amino acids, which improve overall sexual health and stamina. When cut open, figs are said to resemble the testicles. So nature’s suggesting something.
Almonds

Almonds

Almonds are full of zinc, selenium and vitamin E, all that is needed for the sexual organs to function optimally. Selenium boosts male libido, whereas zinc is required for the production of testosterone. Now you probably know why they place almond-flavoured milk in a newly wed couples room.
Bananas

Bananas

They may be a very common fruit, but the high levels of potassium and B vitamins in bananas provide that high energy you need to be extra frisky. Besides, ripe bananas regulate the dopamine levels of the body and make you yearning for more action.
Chillies

Chillies

For those who like it hot, turn up the heat in your sex life with red hot chillies. Capsaicin, which is responsible for increased heart rate, stimulates the release of endorphins that triggers the feeling-good factor in your brain, quite similar to the pleasure you derive from sex. Turn the heat in your curries by a few more notches, we say.
Chocolate

Chocolate

Happy, satiated and sinful. Isn’t that how you feel when you bite into a piece of gorgeous chocolate cake? That is because chocolate is rich in chemicals that release dopamine, which activates the pleasure centres of the brain. It also releases serotonin, which calms you down. And that’s exactly what you need to get your sex drive going. Stock up some dark chocolate, now!
