1. Oysters
Said to be the ultimate aphrodisiac, oysters contain high amounts of zinc and dopamine. Zinc is known to be one of the key ingredients to increasing libido and sperm production. Low levels of zinc is also linked with poor libido in women and low sperm count in men.
Scrub them clean and eat them raw with a hint of lemon juice if preferred.
Zinc can also be obtained from other food sources like other shellfish, whole meal bread, red meat and green leafy vegetables.
2. Chocolates
We all know chocolates are the lovers’ food. They contain mood lifting chemicals like phenylethylamine and serotonin, produced naturally in the human brain, and are released throughout the body when a feeling or event occurs (think love and passion).
In addition, chocolates hold a chemical called tryptophan, which may be seen as a dietary supplement to aid sleep and act as a mild antidepressant.
3. Bananas
Bananas contain bromelain, an enzyme which is believed to reverse impotence in men and increase libido. It also doubles as an excellent source of potassium and vitamin B.
4. Eggs
High in vitamins B6 and B5, eggs although not the most arousing of foods, help combat stress and balance hormone levels. Try eating eggs raw right before sex for an instant boost. Note that all types of eggs work as well. Caviar, anyone?
5. Almonds
Almonds, or most nuts, are packed full of healthy fatty acids they aid production of hormones in men. The aroma of almonds are also believed to arouse passion in females, so try this new aromatherapy tonight.
6. Liver
Not the sexiest of foods, livers however are a good source of glutamine. This gives you energy as a supplement used by bodybuilders and weightlifters. Glutamine also aids memory, increase IQ and combat senility.
7. Watermelons
These great tasting fruit is also said to be an aphrodisiac. They contain citrulline, a natural nutrient that converts into arginine. Arginine is an amino acid that has the same blood-relaxing effect that is present in Viagra.
8. Garlic
Garlic contains allicin, an ingredient similar to that of arginine, with its similar blood-relaxing benefit and libido boost. Ignore the smell by taking garlic capsules
