The
two most important classifications for men’s sexual health foods are
those that promote good blood circulation and those that will increase
dopamine, a chemical in the brain.
Here are the top 10 Foods.
1. Salmon – and other oily fish such as mackerel and herring are
packed with Omega 3, which increases blood flow around the body and to
the genitals and is vital for fighting erectile dysfunction.
2. Lean Meat (in moderation) – Low levels of iron can also cause
fatigue and kill sex drive, so eat lean red meat, dark turkey meat,
chicken, eggs and oily fish; all of these are a good source of iron.
3. Cherries – raspberries and blackcurrants are rich in anthocyanins,
an antioxidant that prevents fatty deposits on the walls of blood
vessels keeping blood running smoothly. Fruitsareliterallybursting with
fiber and antioxidants. They are thought to be loaded with aphrodisiac
properties; Apples, apricots, bananas, coconut, dates, figs, grapes,
mangoes, papayas, peaches, pears, plums, pomegranates, quince,
raspberries and strawberries – take your pick.
4. The avocado – Believe it or not, the Spanish conquistadors helped
spread its reputation throughout the world as a powerful sexual
stimulant. Guacamole usually contains a lot of sodium, however so be
careful.
5. The tomato – a potent source of the powerhouse antioxidant,
lycopene, was once a highly sought-after libido enhancer. Other veggies
reputed to turn up the heat include: beans, garlic, leeks, onions,
parsley, peppers, soybeans, spinach, truffles, turnips and watercress.
6. Shellfish – including abalone, oysters, clams, scallops, shrimp,
lobster and deep, cold-water fish like cod and halibut, fuel the body,
brain the and sex drive. Oysters, for instance, are rich in zinc and
iodine. Zinc is a vital sexual nutriment and essential for testosterone
production in both men and women.
7. Chili Peppers – can improve your circulation and stimulate nerve
endings. Ginger can do the same thing. Because circulation is increased,
so will your sexual pleasure. Both pine nuts and pumpkin seeds are also
sexual energy boosters.
8. Nuts & Honey – natural almonds and pure honey are like a
sexual one-two punch. They increase blood flow and stimulate dopamine to
promote sexual energy and stamina. General Mills makes a cereal
featuring this combo, which is marketed as “heart smart”.
9. Low-fat yogurt – It burns fat and creates lean muscle mass,
especially in the stomach area. Muscle helps burn calories, but it is
often compromised during weight loss.
10. The Pistachio – Every Eurasian (and Mediterranean) man knows from
his own experience the power of the Pistachio nut. Its combination with
honey produces an abundance of prostatic fluid (and sperm), with the
accompanying quality of enhanced erections. It is full of
micro-nutrients, many of which are responsible for the male response
actions and its value as a food cannot be underestimated. For example,
one ounce of dry roasted pistachios contains 165 calories, with 7 grams
of carbohydrates, 6 grams of protein and 14 grams of fat (required for
the effective production of testosterone in the man’s reproductive
system). The pistachio is cholesterol free and contains high values of
Vitamins A and C, as well as important percentages of calcium and iron.
The pistachio contains 18 essential proteins. It is almost a complete
food on its own. From vitamins, pistachios contain Vitamin A. C, D, E,
Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Foliates, Vitamin B12, and K.
From minerals, pistachios contain high amounts of calcium and iron, and
magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium. When
mixed with honey, it becomes a highly enriched food that will show its
circulatory benefits demonstrated in harder erections. Add about one cup
(de-shelled) of dry roasted pistachios to an equal amount of natural
honey. Place the mixture into a glass jar and expose to the sun for one
week. The best time to prepare the mixture is during the summer months.
After one week’s exposure, the mixture is ready. One tablespoon daily is
recommended in the mornings and one tablespoon when sexual activity is
anticipated. It may be eaten alone, mixed with yogurt or with some
fruit. The result over time will be an increased sexual drive and
stamina.
Foods that receive an honorable mention are: green tea, asparagus and
olives. One mineral that is crucial to sex drive is Zinc, so make sure
you get plenty of it from crab, multigrain bread, oysters, red meat and
sardines. These foods should be eaten in a diet that includes plenty of
vegetables and fiber for overall energy. These foods act as stress
relievers that also improve male sexual health.
What to do and what not to do:
1. Quit Smoking. Smoking damages every part of your body, especially
the circulatory system, and introduces dangerous chemicals directly into
the blood.
2. Exercise, every day. It is estimated that you need at least 30
minutes of strenuous exercise daily as a minimum. To get testosterone
levels up naturally, start a combination cardio/weight lifting program.
See your doctor first, and then ask a professional trainer to give you a
custom program suited to your body type, age, and physical condition.
Your testosterone levels will rise naturally.
3. Diet. If you are overweight, your penis will eventually pay the
price, along with your heart and every other critical organ. Eat plenty
of fruits (in season only) and vegetables, lots of roughage (in the form
of cereals) and lean meat (sparingly). Your weight will drop naturally
(without an official diet) and you will notice your libido returning to
normal.
4. Moderate your alcoholic intake. Do not over-indulge in drinking.
Only drink Hard liquor sparingly; wines and beers in moderation. Beer
contains zinc but it also contains a lot of calories and useless carbs.
5. Get rid of processed foods and eat good carbs for energy, such as
brown rice and potatoes with skins. Eat five portions of fruit or
vegetables per day and drink plenty of water.
The sexual organs cannot be treated in isolation in regards to the
male libido. This means an overall healthier lifestyle. The big killers
are drinking smoking and recreational drugs so cut them down or stop
altogether. You then need to have a diet to give you energy and fight
stress and that means eating naturally. Since good blood flow is
important for a good erection, food that is good for your heart will
also be good sexual health. If your heart is not operating properly
there is a very good chance that your penis will not respond as well as
you would like. Because saturated fat clogs the arteries, which in turn
restricts the blood flow, it also restricts the blood flow that reaches
your genital region. Your body does require fat to create hormones, but
it needs the right kind of fats. Good fat comes from olive oils, sea
food, and nuts. These good fats will help in the production of hormones
that are essential for sexual peak performance.
I hope this article helps. Consult a physician before you start any diet or exercise program.
Above all, use your common sense.
