Surprise Your Valentine – Foods that Increase Libido

If you want to serve up an interesting dish this Valentine’s Day, you might want to try something a little different. Certain foods are known to increase libido and boost your sex drive. Since ancient times, various foods were used to help increase libido, such as Spanish fly, Oysters, and Avocado.

Do they really work? Maybe…or at least the Ancient Romans believed so. They believed these foods could get them in the mood for a romp in the sack. There is supporting evidence that suggests, they were right.

Here is a short list of some of foods that are known to increase your libido.

Bananas

Other than tasting delicious in milkshakes, they contain a high amount of potassium. Potassium is known to help regulate the thyroid gland, which secretes hormones.

Celery

This is a big one as far as libido-enhancing foods are concerned. Celery contains a hormone called androsterone. If the thought of a hot steamy night gets you going, there’s a reason for that. Androsterone is released through the male sweat gland. These are called pheromones, which work in animals to attract a mate.

Dark Chocolate

Chocolate is a delicious and tasty treat. It’s one of the cornerstones of Valentines Day gift giving. Studies have shown that women who eat a small amount of dark chocolate on a daily basis have a higher sex drive. If you want to give your “Someone Special” something that is sure to get them going, serve up some fruit dipped in dark chocolate.

Honey

This particular food is rich in Vitamin B6 and loaded with anti-oxidants. It increases testosterone production in both men and women. Try serving these up with some raw almonds, or put a few drops in your morning tea. Do not eat raw honey if you are pregnant.

Avocado

Avocado has a high level of folic acid, and Potassium. They also contain Vitamin B6, which aids in optimum brain function, and increases male hormone production.

Oysters

Have a ton of Zinc, which increases testosterone and sperm production. When you buy oysters make sure they are as fresh as possible. Wash them thoroughly, and serve them on ice, with a slice of lemon on the side.

Asparagus

These are found to be rich in Vitamin E, which stimulates sex hormones, such as testosterone. Keep in mind that even women need certain levels of testosterone. Asparagus tastes great, lightly steamed to maintain crispness. If your significant other is big on meat, try wrapping each piece of asparagus inside a slice of prosciutto.

Most of these foods increase libido by increasing testosterone production. Remember, women have testosterone in their body too – in small amounts. If that surprises you, it’s completely understandable since we associate testosterone to being a hormone in men.

When you don’t have time to prepare these libido increasing foods, try a natural libido supplement, such as HerSolution, which can be ordered online. You can even try it risk free for 6 months.
