Having a healthy sx life plays an important part of our wellbeing. Low
libid0 in men is much more common than we are lead to believe.
There are many reasons why men can lose their sx drive and simple
factors like tiredness, stress, depression, certain medications
(antidepressants and hypertensive drugs), excessive alcohol
consumption, illicit drug taking, and low testosterone levels may all
play a part.
Having a newborn can also put the breaks on your sx drive for a
while due, primarily, to lack of sleep. Did you know that what you eat
can also affect your desire for sx. Here are some foods that will help
spice things up in the bedroom. Help you enjoy a better sx life. The
Following Are 7 Foods That Makes Men Active In Bedroom

health and quantity and boost testosterone levels. Seeds also contain
healthy fats that are vital for sxual health. Add a handful to breakfast
cereals, salads or to a trail mix.

This Peruvan superfood is considered ‘nature’s Viagra’ as it is a
renowned aphrodisiac, improving sx drive and sxual performance.
Maca is also rich in B vitamins, to help boost energy levels, and
relieve stress. Add a spoonful to smoothies, soups or breakfast
cereals.
3. Meat
Beef and pork contains high levels of L-Carnitine, an amino acid that
can help boost libido, sxual function and testosterone levels in older
men. L-carnitine also helps improve energy levels by increasing the
burning of triglycerides as fuel in the body.
4. Bananas
Bananas are an excellent source of B vitamins, needed to increase
energy production and to dampen your stress levels. Bananas also
contain tryptophan, an amino acid needed for serotonin production,
our ‘feel good’ hormones. Bananas are also packed with potassium,
used to produce sx hormones, and improve heart health and sx
drive. Bananas also contain an enzyme called bromelain, which helps
improve blood flow and increase libido.
5. Cacao
Cacao, or raw chocolate, is also a well-known aphrodisiac that is rich
in potent antioxidants called phenols, which are good for your heart.
Of course, a healthy heart means a healthy sx drive. Cacao can lower

actually get an increase in endorphins, the same chemicals you

a chemical that boosts dopamine levels, which increases your feelings
of desire. Add a spoonful of cacao to smoothies, or enjoy some good
quality dark chocolate.

Snacking on raw nuts can help bring a spark back to your bedroom.
Nuts such as almonds, cashews, Brazil and hazelnuts are rich in the
amino acids L-Arginine, which boosts the production of nitric acid in
the body, this will increase the production of sx hormones, and
promote a firmer er3ction and better sxual performance. Nuts are
also an excellent source of essential fatty acids, which are healthy fats
needed for male sxual health. Add some mixed crushed nuts to
muesli or salads, or add to smoothies.

sx life. Eating celery can increase the pheromone androsterone,
which is a natural aphrodisiac found in male perspiration. Celery also
contains chemicals that can help dilate blood vessels, increase sx
drive, and enhance climax. Try a vegie juice with celery, or snacking
