While everyone is busy working off the calories from holiday happiness and making good food choices for lowering fat consumption, why not add another criterion to the new year/new body strategy:
Foods filled with nutrients to support your libido!
We all know the classic food aphrodisiacs:
oysters contain dopamine, a hormone known to increase libido (the fabulous foreplay of shucking and sharing oysters adds to the arousal factor!)
chocolate contains phenylethylamine, a chemical believed to produce the feeling of “being in love” (women are aroused by how they feel!)
avocados are filled with high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolize proteins, providing more energy for friskiness; and potassium, which helps regulate a woman’s thyroid gland (happy thyroid, happy libido!)
hot chilies contain a chemical called capsaicin, which increases circulation to get the blood pumping and stimulating the nerve endings (are you feeling the happy dance yet?)
But did you know celery, bananas, almonds, mangos, and garlic help your sex drive too? Asparagus, liver, eggs, pumpkin seeds, watermelon, salmon, figs and even basil have nutrients to keep your desire humming along!
Foods That Make Your Sex Better provides the scientific and nutrient info if you need to dig deeper, and Foods to Increase Libido shares how to best eat these foods for the most passionate impact.
