There's a solid reason why bananas are one of the most consumed fruits in the world. They are delicious and abundant in many necessary nutrients that can make you feel full and give you more energy. The tropical fruit can also greatly increase your libido, according to recent studies, giving you even another reason to love bananas even more.
Bananas, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and celery are just a few examples of foods that might enhance your sexual performance and potency, but there are also foods that can impair it. You may find a list of foods that will make you a bad lover as well as foods that can improve your sexual urge below. Here’s what foods you should eat and what to avoid if you want to be a beast in bed:
Natural “viagras”
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds
Both seeds are rich in zinc which can improve your sperm quality and
boost your testosterone as well. They are also rich in healthy fats
which are great for your reproductive health.
Celery
You may not be aware of it, but celery is a natural aphrodisiac. It can
boost the production of testosterone in your body and dilate your blood
vessels, which will result in better blood flow and a stronger sex
drive, as well as a powerful orgasm.
Bananas
As we mentioned before, bananas are great for your libido. They contain a
lot of vitamin B which will boost your sexual performance and reduce
stress. It also contains tryptophan, a compound that can boost your
serotonin production as well as potassium, which can increase the
production of sex hormones. Finally, the fruit contains bromelain, an
essential libido-boosting enzyme.
Enemies of erection
Buttercup chips
Although delicious, buttercup chips can seriously ruin your sex drive.
If you’re expecting a wild night in the bedroom, avoid consuming them
previously. Buttercup chips are rich in fat which can negatively affect
your circulation and testosterone, and the high salt content will
increase your blood pressure and cause erectile dysfunction and
digestive problems.
Hot dogs
Sorry, guys – if you want to be a real stud, you need to stop eating hot
dogs. Hot dogs and sausages are rich in saturated fats that can clog
your arteries and reduce your blood flow, effectively resulting in
decreased libido. If you want to enjoy a great night with your partner,
avoid having them prior to the sex. Hot dogs are made of low-grade meat,
which can also increase inflammation in your body and cause hormonal
imbalance, so maybe you should avoid them altogether.
Snacks and sweets
If you’re feeling hungry before having sex, grab a banana instead of
chocolate bars and sweets. They may cause an immediate blood sugar
spike, but you will experience a powerful sugar crash later which will
make you even hungrier than before.
Spearmint
Using mints to freshen up your breath before sex is a bad idea.
Spearmint can reduce your testosterone levels and ruin your sexual
performance, so brush your teeth instead.
