Sexual Foods

September 15, 2008

Sphaghetti or pasta, whatever you may call it; a bowl of it is an effective aphrodisiac. This is due to the fact it can be paired off with a number of foods. Tryptophan is the amino acid which gives you the required hormones and keeps your sex life moving. These are available in dairy products, fish and meat. So on a night when you are feeling sort of spiked up go for the transitional Carbonara or Bolognese. The Casanova from Venice fed on fifty oysters to keep his libido always spiked up. The American Chemical Society’s reports suggest that oysters are very rich in amino acids and thus they help in raising the sex hormones. The rats, when injected with oyster chemicals showed a rise in levels of progesterone in females and testosterone in males. These hormones make a person sexually activated when they appear in increased levels.

Chocolate, the favorite of the sweet wench perks up sex life. Chocolate has the 3 magic substances phenylethylamine, theobromine and caffeine. The senses are stimulated by caffeine, the endorphins are released because of the presence of phenylethylamine and the mood is elevated by theobromine. It was found through research that women who have chocolates daily showed a spurt in sexual desire. Fruits like figs, pomegranates and cherries help to raise the libidinal feelings in you. However, with the rise in the level of cholesterol men can have erectile dysfunction. So to keep a balance in the body’s lovemaking sensualities, foods that lower the intake of cholesterol should be taken. Red berries contain phytonutrients are also effective in bringing in the level of cholesterol. Red wines also work wonders.

Red meat boots testosterone and contains zinc. A steady intake of red meat, reduces the risk of getting impotent, if you can manage taking that that health wise. The caffeine intake in the morning not only kick starts your day but also arouses the brain. The coffee intakers have less erection problem than those who abstain from the drink.
