APHRODISIAC FOODS TO HELP GET YOU IN THE MOOD FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

What’s on the menu for your Valentine’s Day dinner? If you’re looking to load up on romance tonight, some foods can help boost your libido. An aphrodisiac is any substance, like a food or drug, that increases sexual desire. They can work in three ways - to increase libido, enhance pleasure and/or improve potency.

Some of the foods that can help get you in the mood may surprise you, but research shows these have been proven to do the trick.

  • Oysters - While slurping down an oyster isn’t exactly sexy, this seafood is rich in the mineral zinc, which is essential for testosterone production. Oysters are also high in omega-3s, which can increase blood flow, and they’re known to improve levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that’s involved in feeling pleasure.
  • Saffron - This spice doesn’t just add flavor to your food, it’s also known to have aphrodisiac qualities. One study finds that saffron had a positive effect on men with erectile dysfunction and another study finds it helps increase arousal in women.
  • Avocados - They’re delicious, healthy and contain the B-vitamin folate, which helps produce histamine, a compound that’s released during orgasms.
  • Pistachios - Research has shown that these nuts may also help improve erectile dysfunction.
  • Maca - It’s a cruciferous vegetable, in the same family as kale or broccoli, but it’s commonly eaten as a powder sprinkled into foods and smoothies. In one study, women who were dealing with low libido from taking antidepressants experienced a libido boost after taking maca.
  • Red ginseng - It’s a root common in many Asian countries and it’s known to be an aphrodisiac. Research has shown red ginseng helps increase arousal in women and improves erectile dysfunction in men.
  • Berries - The flavonoids in berries may help men last longer in the bedroom and blackberries are loaded with them.
