Forget The Pills: Try These Aphrodisiac Foods to Get Super Lusty!

natural aphrodisiac foods

We are all fed up with advertisements for sexual enhancement drugs and pills, but do you really need to fork out hundreds just to bring your "A" game in the bedroom?

The simple answer is no. There are many natural aphrodisiac foods (herbs, vegetables and fruits) that have been used for centuries before any of the modern-day medications were discovered. I have selected five of the best sex-boosting natural remedies to talk about in this article. Try adding these foods to your daily diet and you may never have to see your doctor about sexual dysfunction. While our focus is male sexuality, these can benefit women as well.

Bananas

This penis-shaped fruit is a common sex symbol, and there's more than just resemblance to it. Bananas can lower blood pressure, enhance blood flow, and they are believed to boost testosterone levels naturally. They are rich in vitamin B6, potassium and other nutrients.

Honey

Honey is one of nature's most valuable gifts to human kind (and bears!). This wonderful elixir has many medicinal uses, and some cultures believe in its male sexual enhancement power. Some natural aphrodisiac preparations include a mixture of honey and nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios) for maximum benefits.

Oysters

The next time you're ordering seafood make sure to add a dish of oysters. Besides being tasty, they are full of health-supporting minerals. Oysters are particularly known for their high content of zinc, which is needed by your body to produce sperm and testosterone.

Maca

Maca is a plant that grows is the mountains of Peru. Its root is used as a vegetable, also as a medicinal herb in traditional medicine for its remarkable benefits. It is rich in healthy nutrients, especially fatty acids and amino acids. For thousands of years, people have used maca to improve stamina, sex drive, potency, energy and memory. Maca is one of the most used herbal aphrodisiacs for both sexes.

Chocolate

Do you really need a reason to eat chocolate other than the satisfaction you get from enjoying a fine bar of chocolate? If that isn't tempting enough for you, you may want to consume chocolate for its sex-boosting benefits. But wait, it's the bitter dark chocolate that has the most health benefits. In addition to enhancing mood and mental state, it has been found to improve heart health and circulation, and that will have a positive effect on your sexual function.

These were just a handful of the best natural foods to enhance sexual desire and health. It is important to have a healthy and balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables in order to keep your sexual ability in top shape. Having a poor diet that consists of fast and junk foods/drinks can very well harm or even kill your libido.

In addition to what you eat, you also need to make sure you get plenty of physical activity. Sitting on your butt all day long not only leads to many health problems and shortens your life, but may also lead to sexual dysfunction sooner or later. Daily exercise will improve your heart health in the long run, boost your blood circulation, increase testosterone levels, and burn the extra fat. All of these collectively will contribute toward increased libido, stronger erections, and improved performance in the red-light room.

Don't be slothful and take your sexual endowment for granted. That may work out for you while you are young, but once you hit the 40's and beyond you will regret it big time. If you wish to never have to go to your doctor to talk about sexual dysfunction throughout your life time, then you have to work hard for it.
