Food for Thought (and Sex!)

Having a great sex life doesn’t just come from the inherent desire for good sex. In fact, there’s a lot at play when it comes to high libido, and excellent sexual performance. One key component to consider, especially if you’re struggling in the bedroom, is diet and nutrition.

In other words, the foods that you choose to consume on a frequent basis can, and will have a significant carryover effect on both your willingness and ability to have a great sex life.

Curious as to what these magical foods might be? Continue reading to learn how YOU can improve your sex life simply by switching up in the kitchen and altering your grocery store decisions.

Although they’re not as magical as you might think. The following foods have been shown and proven through research to improve hormonal levels, increase libido, boost blood flow, and improve stamina. Ultimately resulting in fuller erections and overall better performances in the bedroom.

Though some of these foods are categorized as aphrodisiacs, the large majority of them are simply basic health foods. They are often ignored for their many health benefits, sexual health included!

You see, as noted earlier, there is no magical secret to a better sex life. Instead, by prioritizing your overall lifestyle and focusing on consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and high-quality meats & other protein sources. Also avoid foods that can impair your sexual performance and desires (i.e. sugars, saturated fats, etc.). You’ll inevitably transform into a more “optimized” human, garnering more energy, libido, and confidence than ever before.

All of this includes regular STI testing. You should get tested whenever you have a new partner.

Of course, all this to say, your diet plays a primary role in improving your sex life at large.

With all of that being said, below are some of the best foods for a better sex life. Remember, they’re not magic pills so consuming them once or twice will unlikely elicit any type of meaningful result. Instead, they need to be consumed on a daily basis and for a prolonged period of time (ideally indefinitely) to truly experience their sexual benefits.

• Oysters – a staple when it comes to aphrodisiacs
• High-Quality Meats – beef, pork, chicken, etc.
• Seafood – salmon, lobster, crab, mollusks, etc.
• Nuts and Seeds – pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc.
• Fruits – apples, berries, cherries, lemons, limes, etc.
• Beets – a staple when it comes to boosting nitric oxide and blood flow
• Veggies – spinach, radish, celery, arugula, etc.

Withstanding your food choices, it’s also important to consider what vitamins and minerals you’re intaking, and at what levels. Contrary to what most understand about nutrition, many persist in being deficient in key vitamins and minerals, thus experiencing suboptimal levels of energy, libido, and otherwise.

Some of the most important vitamins and minerals to make part of your dietary choices include but are certainly not limited to vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Oh, and don’t forget to get your antioxidants and dietary nitrates! Good luck!
