Posted on April 1, 2008 in Latest News

Have you ever thought that your local grocery shop can spice up your boring sexual life?? The expected answer is NO. According to the researchers taste, smell and appearance of certain foods have the potential to act as aphrodisiacs. These foods not only generated the mood for love but also make you a better lover and flirt.

Like different aspects of healthy living depend on the diet you take. In the same way the secret of your healthy sexual life lies in your diet. Different foods have different effect on your body. Clinical sexologist Ava Cadell Ph.D. says “Different foods have different nutrients and substances that affect the body physiologically in different ways.”

What to Eat for Healthy Sexual Life?

If you really want to enjoy your sexual life then you need to eat food which will enhance your blood circulation. Dr. Barbara Bartlik, Assistant Professor of psychiatry and sex therapist with the Human Sexuality Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center says “Sex is really about circuitry. Omega-3 makes your nervous system function better.” Hence foods which are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like wild salmon, mackerel and salmon are best for healthy sexual life. Minerals and multivitamins are also essential as they improve the neurological functioning hence enhancing the blood circulation.

For improved erectile response you need to take food which is rich in L-Arginine. Research study shows that L-Arginine improves the sexual functioning in men. Foods which are rich source of L-Arginine are listed below:

Erectile response is not solely for men as it is also observed in women. In women the erection is observed in the tissue around the vulva and in clitoris. Soybean is considered to be excellent aphrodisiac for women. Research study shows that soy binds with estrogen receptors which keep the vaginal area lubricated. It is also essential in combating menopause symptoms especially hot flashes.

Researches show that food that keeps your heart healthy is also beneficial for your penis. It is observed that too much of saturated fat can obstruct the arteries resulting in inadequate blood flow in the genital area. This not only affects your performance ability but also interferes with your sexual pleasure. But at the same time inadequate amount of fat is also not good for your sexual life. So the best sources of “good” fat i.e. polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are Salmon, Olive oil and nuts.

Eat healthy and balanced diet for a healthy sexual life.
