I think certain foods can help, sure can't hurt
The reasons for a lacking libido can range from too many things on your to-do list and working too many hours to your hormones being out of whack.
This is where food comes in. Yep, good ol' simple-but-I-never-thought-of-that foods. Here are five delicious items you can work into your diet that will increase your libido, and help you work out of your clothes.
1
Asparagus
Asparagus is high in the B vitamin folate that helps increase your production of histamine. Histamine is important for increasing the sex drive in men and women. Plus, it has that suggestive shape. Just saying...
2
Avocados
Loaded with potassium, avocados boost libido for both sexes. And they're rich in folic acid that provides energy and stamina – both of which are important once your libido is restored.
3
Chilies
If you like hot and spicy, you're in luck! Chilies contain capsaicin, a chemical which also increases blood flow and triggers the release of mood-enhancing endorphins that naturally pump up your libido.
4
Maca root
This lovely plant from Peru contains a chemical called p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate which has aphrodisiac properties. It's also packed with minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. Not bad for a root. One quick caution: It's also used by the Peruvians to increase fertility.
5
Watermelon
Coined "the new Viagra" by some experts, watermelon contains citrulline, an amino acid that relaxes blood vessels thereby increasing one's sex drive. Enjoy!
