Eating your way to better sex
You are what you eat. You've heard the saying. And it's true. Your diet determines, to a large extent, your overall health. But did you know that what you eat can have a dramatic effect on your sexual wellness?
Here are some basic foods you may want to add to your diet to increase your sexual prowess, sexual health and enjoyment.
- Ginkgo biloba: Research has shown that the herb Ginkgo biloba can increase blood flow and produce better erections, both in terms of spontaneity and increased in hardness. Ginkgo biloba is available in capsule and liquid form in grocery, drug and health food stores
- Nuts, seeds and grains: Inflammation of the prostate gland reduces your ability to have erections. Foods such as nuts, seeds (especially pumpkin seeds) and whole grains contain agents that decrease inflammation of the prostate.
- Zinc: This mineral is linked to fertility, potency, sex drive and long-term sexual health. It's critical to sperm production. Low zinc stores have been linked to low semen volume and testosterone levels. Getting your daily zinc requirement is easy - eating four ounces of beef per day will take care of about half the requirement. Oysters, turkey and beans are other good sources.
- Serotonin: Your brain produces serotonin. Lack of serotonin can be a major factor in depression. In addition, low levels of the chemical can be the cause of weak ejaculations and a low sperm count. Serotonin is produced naturally by eating carbohydrates combined with foods containing the amino acid tryptophan - meat and dairy products. Try eating fish, poultry, lean beef, bread, and pasta (in any combination) to boost your serotonin levels.
- Coffee: Studies show that men and women who have at least one cup of coffee per day are almost twice as likely to describe themselves as sexually active. And men who drink coffee regularly report erection problems. But be warned: caffeine intake should be moderate (1 or 2 cups per day); more than that can make you edgy and irritable.
- Calcium: Your muscles need calcium to contract and spasm. So without calcium, there'd be no orgasms. Dairy products, fish, bread and green vegetables are all high in calcium.
