The Diet for Spectacular Sex

Rebecca Lewis November 15, 2012

Want more enjoyment from sex? Before heading to the bedroom, a light snack may help you and your partner experience the best sex ever!

Psychologists, cardiologists and sex gurus all agree – what you eat has a direct impact on your performance in bed. If you’re looking to bring back the spice and sizzle in your intimate life, don’t count on Viagra and the lube. The best sex enhancers are those you can find from the supermarket or your local grocery shop!

Go Greener with Greens

Instead of wine, have a shot of wheatgrass instead. Yes, it’s not going to give you the warmth you need to get started but it’s sure to help you reach your peak! Wheatgrass, green leafy vegetables and pumpkin seed sprouts are high in zinc which promotes sensitivity in women. It also alleviates stress levels so you can have all the energy you need for a couple of rounds!

No to Viagra, YES to Watermelon!

Gents, you don’t really need to take the bitter pill just to empower yourself in the bedroom. Yes it’s true, 92% of watermelon is water. But the remaining 8% is going help you score high on sex. Watermelon has a compound called citrulline which is converted into arginine after being absorbed by the body. Arginine works the same way with Viagra. It relaxes the blood vessels which in turn, increases libido.

Vitamin D means Desire

Many people often overlook the importance of vitamin D. This nutrient plays a major role in cell formation and hormonal regulation. When the sun is shining bright, go out and let vitamin D shower upon you. Or, you can snack on dry shiitake mushrooms and chicory weed as these foods are loaded with the vitamin. You can also take vitamin D supplements.

Get a dose of the Sex Vitamin

If you want to improve your sex drive, make sure you supply your body with the right amount of vitamin E – known to many as the sex vitamin. Sweet potatoes, carrots, nuts and raspberries are just few of the many sources of this nutrient. Other than a higher libido, vitamin E also increases sensitivity and longevity.

Avocadoes for better stimulation

Niacin or vitamin B3 has a lot of amazing health benefits and they include better sex performance. This nutrient promotes blood flow and increases cellular activity which leads to a heightened sensitivity during sex. Aside from avocadoes, foods high in niacin are artichokes, milk, meat, nuts, seafood, spinach, and so on.

Wholegrain Bread for more pleasure!

Bread is not bad for your health, as long as you choose the brown one. Bagels made from whole grains and sprouted grains are high in b-complex vitamins that relax your entire system and bolster your sex drive. It is also essential in the production of sex hormones in both men and women.

Beans oh beans!

Germinated nuts, beans and grains work best in enhancing sexual pleasure. They are a rich source of essential fatty acids that promote better sensitivity, pleasure and desire. Instead of fatty salads, have a large bowl of fruits and vegetables such as zucchini, broccoli, spinach and dried apricots topped with nuts and beans.

By incorporating these foods in your daily diet, you just don’t make yourself a super lover but a healthy individual as well!
