Cloves:

Lettuce:

Good old lettuce with olive oil and vinegar rev up your libido as it contains opate which activates sex hormones.

Strawberries:

There has to be good blood circulation in both men and women for proper sexual functioning and Strawberries are the richest source of antioxidants which is good for your arteries as well as your heart.

Moreover, Strawberries are the richest source of vitamin C which increases the sperm counts in men. If you really want to boost up your libido, dip Strawberries into the dark chocolate which includes methylxanthines. It will surely activate your libido along with your feel good endorphins.

Red Wine:

A glass of wine keeps the doctor away and some even say it can replace an hour of exercise. It will make you feel chatty and relaxed, and it is the social lubricant which gets strangers talking to each other. But, keep in mind that too much alcohol dampens sexual desire and can put the kabash on a night of lovemaking too. It is rich in antioxidants called resveratrol. And with many of the foods on this list it triggers nitric oxide production in the blood, which relaxes artery walls.

Almonds:

Almonds are the best source of Vitamin E, selenium, zinc which is important for your reproduction as well as sexual health. Selenium can deal with infertility issues and Vitamin E can improve your heart health.

Zinc is very important to produce sex hormones in men and automatically boost up libido.

Libido Killers!

Processed Foods

Yes another reason to avoid sugar laden treats. They will absolutely zap you of your sex drive. So skip the cake at the next birthday party. Saturated fats will wreak havoc on human cells, including your immune system. They stay in your system, raising blood sugar and lowering libido. The fats also clog ventricles, reducing oxygen to sexual organs, and prevent the spleen from producing enough white blood cells, so eggs and sperm have difficulty multiplying.

Oysters

Contrary to popular belief oysters are well hyped up as the King of libido boosters but they are also toxic. They absorb toxins and numerous parasites from the ocean. To get the same amount of nutrient dense zinc ingest spinach instead for a low calorie high zinc option.

Ice Cream and Dairy

Sorry ice cream lovers. The lactic acid in dairy can squash a libido at any level. Switch it up every now and then to a lactose free alternative. The good news is you don’t have to give it up completely – 3 x per week is adequate just not every night!

And there you have it! Key foods to add and some to take away, or at least moderate to get your libido back on track and you back in the sack.
