Healthy FoodWhile most people have heard that eating raw oysters can work as an aphrodisiac, not everyone enjoys the flavor or texture. However, there are many other foods that can serve the same function and increase female libido. Having a healthy, well-balanced diet will make your body feel better. Try these five simple foods to begin.
Bananas
Vitamin B and potassium are two nutrients that are necessary in the production of hormones. If you have a deficiency of either of them, you may find yourself feeling sluggish and less sexual than you previously had. Bananas are an excellent source of both, as well as complex carbohydrates to increase energy.
Avocado
Like bananas, avocados are full of potassium and vitamin B6, as well as folic acid. Avocados are also an excellent source of healthy, unsaturated fats. Adding foods this full of nutrients to your diet will help boost libido and energy levels.
Pumpkin Seeds
Zinc and omega-3 fatty acids both play important roles in the production of sex hormones and the strength of libido. Pumpkin seeds contain both and are also rumored to help fertility.
Chilies
Spicy foods can be a kick-start to your sex drive, and the capsaicin contained within chilies can actually release endorphins and raise your heart rate. Try cooking a spicy curry or Mexican dinner for your significant other.
Garlic
Both partners need to be involved in this choice, lest one of them has garlic breath and the other does not. Chopped garlic contains a compound that is thought to improve blood flow to sexual organs in both men and women. Increase your libido by sharing a romantic dinner together, full of garlic.
