Many men experience flagging libido and the majority of them love to sweep the problem under the rug. But one should not be embarrassed about low sex drive as the solution is just a grocery away. Just add certain foods to your diet and feel the pulse racing again. Let’s take a glance at some foods that can do wonders as an aphrodisiac. Various studies have validated that fruits, vegetables, grains, food with lean protein and healthy fat, and food containing antioxidants, vitamins and minerals can get you into the mood. Here’s a list of foods that can arrest waning libido:
Dates
Eating dates enhances sexual health and stamina among men. The fruit is rich in antioxidants that help in improving sperm count and mobility. Dates is packed with minerals such as zinc and magnesium that can trigger the production of testosterone.
Avocado
As avocado is replete with vitamins, vitamin B6 and folic acid, it helps in improving the count and mobility of sperm. Vitamin B6 is known to produce hormones in males resulting in increased interest in sex.
Dark chocolate
The flavanols in dark chocolate induce the production of nitric oxide in the human body that helps in improving blood circulation, attaining erection and increasing stamina.
Watermelon
Watermelon is a repository of citrulline, an amino acid, which induces the production of nitric oxide that can ensure the free flow of blood in the body. The citrulline in watermelon becomes arginine once it enters the human body and this could be found in blood vessels, just like the basic effect of ‘viagra’.
Broccoli
Broccoli is a sex booster for men as it is rich in indol-3-carbinol which helps to reduce the level of estrogen in males.
Drumstick tree (moringa)
The leaves of drumstick tree are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and improve the sexual health among men.
