Aphrodisiac foods are generally divided into two types: one that enhances sexual desire due to the food's own ingredients and nutritional value; and the other that triggers physiological aphrodisiac associations through psychological factors. On a lover's night, choosing the right aphrodisiac foods will make couples more "sexually" happy.
Apple
When it comes to fruits that arouse desire, anyone who knows about Adam and Eve will think of apples. Since Adam and Eve, the apple has become synonymous with temptation. The red pigment formed by the apple's exposure to sufficient sunlight can stimulate the secretion of sex hormones, making men more masculine and women more feminine.
Chocolate
Chocolate is not just a food that brings happiness; it is also the best gift for lovers to be "sexually" happy. Nutritionists believe that the ingredients in chocolate can stabilize the nervous system and help open up the senses, bringing people a sense of relaxation and excitement, making them more anticipate the pleasure of sex. Physiological research shows that the brain's reaction to love is the same as the reaction after eating chocolate, so people say that chocolate is the taste of love.
Red Wine
Red wine is made from grapes, inheriting the moist and juicy nature of grapes, with a slight sweet, sour, and spicy taste. Traditional Chinese medicine says "spicy and sweet nourish yang, sour and sweet nourish yin." A glass of red wine enters the stomach, supplementing both yin and yang. A moderate amount of red wine can promote blood circulation, accelerate the release of energy in the body, and allow lovers to relax and enjoy the beautiful night more. Paired with nutrient-rich cheese, it truly helps to enhance sexual desire from within!
Oyster
Fat oysters are the most well-known aphrodisiac food, and Western men especially believe in their aphrodisiac effects. The slippery oysters bring a subtle texture, and the high concentration of zinc they contain has been proven to be extremely helpful in synthesizing the male hormone testosterone, making it truly more "manly" the more you eat. A single small oyster can almost meet a man's daily zinc requirement, and eating it raw is the best way to preserve the zinc inside. Other seafood, such as lobster, sea urchin, sea cucumber, shellfish, seaweed, etc., are also good.
Asparagus
Many foods are honored with the title of "aphrodisiac" because of their "phallic shape," and asparagus is a very obvious example. However, modern research shows that it not only has a similar shape but also has outstanding nutritional value. Asparagus is rich in vitamin E, which can promote the secretion of sex hormones and plays a vital role in a healthy sex life. However, asparagus is a "slow-acting" food, and its effects are only obvious after long-term consumption.
Chili Pepper
Research shows that the "capsaicin" in chili peppers can stimulate the human nerve endings, causing the heart to beat faster and desire to rise. In addition, some experts believe that eating very spicy food can promote the secretion of "endorphins," a substance produced by the brain that can make people feel happy and energetic, thus helping to create a "sexually" happy life.
Egg
Eggs are a high-protein food, similar in composition to human protein, so the human absorption rate of egg protein is as high as 99.7% (milk is only 85%). Experts point out that eggs are the best nutritional supplement to enhance human sexual function, and also the best "restorer" to recover vitality after sexual intercourse.
Fish
As early as ancient Roman times, people discovered that fish is an ideal food to nourish sexual desire, especially shark meat, which still enjoys a high reputation as a "catalyst" for love to this day. Scientific research has proven that fish is rich in phosphorus and zinc, which is very important for the sexual function of both men and women, earning it the name "harmony-boosting element for couples." Generally speaking, for those who lack zinc in their bodies, men will experience a decrease in sperm count and quality, accompanied by a decline in sexual and reproductive functions, while women will experience weight loss and a decrease in vaginal secretions during intercourse.
Nuts
There is a mysterious substance in nuts that can affect male hormone production and is helpful in enhancing sexual function. Such as sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pine nuts, etc. Among them, the effect of walnuts is more prominent, strengthening the kidneys, nourishing the blood, benefiting the stomach, moistening the lungs... it is simply a living treasure for enhancing desire.
