5 Foods For Libido

Oh yeah, we’re in for a sexy one, today.

I’m going to cut right to the chase - the title says it all and you’re already here, I don’t need to sell you on anything.  Here are 5 foods to improve your libido:

  1. Oysters - a personal favorite of mine (42 oysters in one sitting is my PR).  Zinc is the name of the game here with this delicacy.  Zinc plays a vital role in testosterone and reproductive health.

  2. Dark Chocolate - feel good endorphins & flavonoids that improve circulation can enhance arousal and mood.  Ironically, both arousal and a good mood are needed for… well, you get the joke.

  3. Avocados - healthy fats, vitamin E and potassium here help support hormone production and cardio health.  A healthy ticker lets hot blood run thicker.

  4. Pomegranate - antioxidants in this food help promote circulation, boost testosterone (for men and women) and can improve your mood.

  5. Maca Root - an adaptogen that helps alleviate stress and acts on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, regulating hormone signaling, mood and energy.

Honorable mentions: overall nutrition, sleep, stress management and relationship dynamics.  Obviously not foods, but clearly very important players in libido (and I’d be remiss to not acknowledge them).
