Simple foods can double as aphrodisiacs to relight the fire in the bedroom
While there’s no real expiry date on a satisfying sex life, the stress of daily living can be a bit of a downer, as can health problems that come with age. Problems like vaginal dryness and erectile dysfunction further diminish sex drive. However, rather than turning to your medicine cabinet for drugs that boost the libido, stock your kitchen with foods that do the trick—naturally!
WHAT ARE APHRODISIACS?
The word aphrodisiac comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty; it is said she emerged from a clamshell. Aphrodisiacs are foods that increase the flow of blood and sexual fluid to the genitals and release natural bio-chemicals in the body. They provide nutrients that improve the health of your sex organs, increase your body energy, boost temperature and heart rate, and enhance the mood for sex. They can also boost semen count and help counter vaginal dryness. The best part: they need not always be fancy foods like oysters; even simple, everyday foods can double as aphrodisiacs.
