 BEST AND WORST FOODS FOR YOUR LIBIDO
By David Zinczenko, with Matt Goulding - Posted on Fri, Jul 17, 2009, 2:54 pm PDT on menshealth.com
The good news: With some simple changes to your diet, courtesy of the latest research from Eat This, Not That!, you can revitalize your relationship and dramatically improve your health
FOR THE HORMONE RUSH
Eat This!
1-OZ DARK CHOCOLATE
162 calories
11 g fat (6 g saturated)
10 g sugars
Chocolate is full of anandamide and phenylethylamine, two compounds that cause the body to release the same feel-good endorphins triggered by sex and physical exertion. Cocoa also contains methylxanthines, which make skin sensitive to every touch. Aim for dark chocolate, which packs more cocoa than lighter milk chocolates, and keep portions small.
FOR ENERGY
Eat This!
6-OZ SIRLOIN STEAK
414 calories
24 g fat (10 g saturated)
46 g protein
Protein has been shown to naturally boost levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, two chemicals in the brain that heighten sensitivity during sex. Your steak is also packed with zinc—a mineral that boosts libido by reducing production of a hormone called prolactin, which may interfere with arousal.
FOR POWER
Eat This!
½ CUP VANILLA ICE CREAM
137 calories
7 g fat (4 g saturated)
14 g sugars
2 g protein
Ice cream has high levels of calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that build your muscles' energy reserves and boost your libido. All that calcium—200 milligrams in the typical bowl—can also make you more sexually charged, since the muscles that control sexual response need calcium in order to contract properly.
FOR PERFORMANCE
Eat This!
½ CUP BLUEBERRIES
40 calories
10 g carbs
7 g sugars
Forget Viagra. Mother Nature's original blue potency capsules may do even more for you. Blueberries are high in soluble fiber, which helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood before it gets absorbed and deposited on artery walls. Blueberries also relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. For maximum potency and performance, eat a serving of blueberries at least three or four times a week.
