Having proper eating habits to increase energy, get pulses racing, and blood flowing in all the right places is all that one desires in order to be able to maintain perfect sexual health and enjoy intimacy. Well, what if we say that you can pamper your sexual health with your diet, of course paired with a proper exercise regime. There is no magic food to increase your libido, but  being deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, can lead to decreased libido and blood circulation. Eating foods that are high in B vitamins, zinc, vitamin E and some others are the best ways of ensuring your libido stays where it should be and also enhances your sexual health.  After all, a proper meal plan rich in the nutrients is needed to improve energy, circulation, and of course, increase one’s confidence.

Here we are listing down the food items that you must include in your diet in order to maintain and enhance your sexual health.

1. Dry Fruits
   
   High energy equals good sex. And nuts and dry fruits are a good source of vitamin B3, which increases your stamina. So, keep these handy on a day you feel drained out. Give these to your man too as they help increase sperm count. And increased sperm count invariably means better health. Especially almonds have long been purported to increase passion, act as a sexual stimulant, and aid with fertility. Almonds are nutrient-dense and rich in several trace minerals that are important for sexual health and reproduction, such as zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Zinc helps enhance libido and sexual desire.

2. Dark Chocolate

Chocolate is known as a super libido food partly because it is a rich source of PEA, the acronym for phenylethylamine.  As a stimulant and mood elevator, PEA can induce sensations of euphoria—and it’s naturally released by your brain when you’re in love. This chemical promotes the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which enhances feelings of well-being, joy, and pleasure.  Dark chocolate also increases blood flow to sexual organs. Chocolate contains L-arginine, an amino acid that can be an effective natural sex-enhancer for both women and men. It works by increasing nitric oxide and promoting blood flow to your sexual organs, which increases sensation, satisfaction, and desire.  It also acts as an energy booster. Chocolate contains the compound theobromine, found in tea and kola nuts as well. This substance works on the central nervous system, causing one to feel stimulated and excited.

Basil: Basil has anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce swelling in the body, making blood flow easier to all body parts, including sex organs. It has also been known to promote sexual desire in men just by smelling it. It increases blood flow and heart rate. Bail can be used by adding basil to smoothies, water, soups, or salads.

6. Cinnamon

This sweet, warm, and comforting spice can be a key ingredient in adding some much-needed zest to your sex life.  Cinnamon has the potential to reduce blood glucose levels. Steady blood sugar equals sustained energy without spikes and crashes that can kill your mood and restrict your sex life.

7. Watermelon

 When watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted to arginine, an amino acid that impacts the circulation system. The citrulline-arginine relationship helps heart health, the immune system, and may prove to be very helpful for those who suffer from obesity and type 2 diabetes. Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.

So, now that you have the list, do not let poor diet affect your sexual health.
