Sexy Nutrition, It Does a Body Good

For centuries, couples have experimented with various food items, especially those known for being aphrodisiacs. Although this practice undoubtedly continues today, many people chalk the idea of a connection between food and sex as a myth. However, there is truth to this topic and if you and your significant other are seeking a delicious way to improve your sex life, the following food items mentioned below will definitely want to be added to the grocery list.

While there are a score of well known foods that are often turned to for aphrodisiac purposes, the good news about the particular food items discussed here are not only proven to stimulate physiology to enhance sexual pleasure and desire, they are also nutritious and ideal for keeping your health - as well as your sex drive - on the up and up.

Snack foods aren’t just good for settling a case of the munchies or to h

ave handy while watching a movie. The next time you want to spice things up in the bedroom, turn to the right type of snacks to get things going. Couples will want to reach for raisins, celery and peanut butter in particular. These may not sound like sexy foods, but the reality is that consuming these items results in quite a potent effect when it comes to sex.

Even though raisins are small, they contain high levels of antioxidants. In skincare and anti-aging, antioxidants are commonplace ingredients. However, in terms of sex, the presence of antioxidants found in raisins stimulates blood flow to a woman’s nether regions. Additionally, raisins are rich in lignans, which serve the purpose of balancing out a woman’s hormones.

Each time you bite into a stalk of celery, pheromones get released. When this occurs, it causes the body to produce odor molecules that influence the level of attraction and creates a high level of arousal - not just for yourself but your significant other as well. While you’ve got your pheromones running rampant by eating celery, why not add a touch of peanut butter? This popular food item has been shown to be especially beneficial for men when it comes to sex drive. This includes raising testosterone levels through the consumption of peanut butter’s monounsaturated fats and providing the body with an amino acid known as arginine, which enhances blood flow throughout the body, including the penis.

Want breakfast in bed? Then you’ll want to throw together a helping of scrambled eggs, sandwiched between two slices of an English muffin. Believe it or not, eggs pack a strong punch when influencing sexual desire in both men and women. Niacin is part of the vitamin B family and has the ability to produce histamine in the body, which is ideal for causing strong orgasms. In addition to niacin, eggs are rich in zinc. In men, the presence of zinc allows for the production of semen. On the flip side, eating foods high in zinc can help keep a woman naturally lubricated during sexual intercourse.

As you can see, it doesn’t take a three course meal to achieve sexual desire using the aphrodisiac approach. Obtaining more of a boost in this category is as simple as eating a hearty breakfast or snacking your way into the sack.
