Hoping things will heat up after breakfast, lunch or dinner? The following one-ingredient additions to your daily meals can enhance your lust and passion for you and your significant other:
- Figs – add to your tart, smoothie or cake recipe. They are an excellent source of iron and potassium, and are packed with amino acids which produce nitric oxide. This relaxes blood vessels and increases the blood flow to sex organs, which is essential for peak sexual health.
- Spinach – who doesn’t love spinach dip? You can even add it to your lasagna or penne pasta. It’s a nutrient powerhouse, full of magnesium, which relaxes arteries and promotes blood flow to the genitals.
- Honey – I love dipping my chicken tenders in honey mustard and can’t get enough of honey baked ham or turkey. Honey contains boron, which has a libido-enhancing effect. It has been known to increase men’s testosterone levels and boost women’s sex drive.
- Walnuts – I love these on top of my ice cream sundaes or in my brownies. They are a symbol of fertility and are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promotes great sex and functioning loins.
- Pomegranate – I love the perfect pomegranate martini or margarita – very refreshing. This ingredient is packed with antioxidants, which increases the blood flow to the brain, heart and genitals.
- Chili Peppers – Who doesn’t love Kung Pao Shrimp or Chicken? I know I do. Chili peppers can turn up the heat in more ways than one. They contain capsaicin, which increases nerve sensitivity and intensifies pleasure during sex.
- Champagne – Rose is my favorite. Some sips of this bubbly treat will definitely stimulate your senses and relax your sexual inhibitions.
Additionally, foods with sexy shapes can create visual stimulation. Just to name a few: bananas, cucumbers, carrots, avocados and figs are visually erotic and will set your brain in motion for some steamy, passionate rendezvous.
