FOODS TO UP YOUR LIBIDO

According to an article on AOL, these foods will have a positive effect on your libido. Is it true? Who knows!

Red Hot Chile Peppers (it ain’t just a rock group)
Chile peppers don’t just add spice to meals, they can spice up your love life too. The key ingredient is the chemical capsaicin, which gives your mood a lift by triggering the release of endorphins. Coincidentally, it’s also capsaicin that gives this food a hot, flavorful kick. Try punching up things tonight by cooking up some chile-rubbed tilapia with asparagus and lemon.

Tempting Truffles
It has long been speculated that truffles are great aphrodisiacs, and while there may be no solid scientific proof, some species of truffles do contain pheromones that can trigger mating behavior in female pigs. Oddly enough, the?musky chemical produced by truffles is similar to male sweat, which is a key ingredient in female arousal. Try it out yourself with this tasty treat.

Chocolate Kisses
There’s a reason that chocolate has become a Valentine’s Day staple — it contains phenylethylamine — the chemical your body naturally produces when you fall in love. But, that’s not the only benefit. Dark chocolate can actually facilitate blood vessel function and improve heart health. A healthy heart translates to a healthy libido, since the same blood vessels around the heart also surround the penis. “What’s bad for the heart is bad for the penis,” says Dr. Fisch.

Amazing Asparagus
It’s not just the shape of this great green that makes these stalks more than a tasty side dish. Asparagus is high in Vitamin E, said to stimulate hormones. So, start things heating up in the bedroom by taking a trip to the vegetable aisle. Try roasting some or adding garlic and anchovies.

Avocado Love
Just the physical characteristics of this magical fruit are enough to lift your libido. In fact, the ancient Aztec name for avocado was “ahuacatl,” or testicle. But the avocado has other things going for it, such as being high in omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. The omega-3 acids help to maintain your overall health and give you energy, while the zinc will up your testosterone levels.
