Planning a Valentine’s meal for that someone special? While oysters have always been touted as the natural aphrodisiac, they aren’t the only foods to consider serving on a romantic dinner date. Setting the romantic mood should start well before setting the table; it should start with planning of the meal.
There are several aphrodisiacs, or “love foods”, that will help put both men and women in the mood. Dr. Mickey Barber of Cenegenics Carolinas states, “Certain foods are clinically proven to enhance testosterone production. A low testosterone level in both men and women translates often into low sex drives. Increasing that testosterone level will increase one’s sexual desire.”
Five “Love Foods” to serve on Valentine’s Day:
Poultry-Why boring chicken? Because it contains zinc, the most important material as far as testosterone production. Other main course options rich in zinc are oysters and animal proteins.
Sweet basil- Add this to a chicken dish. Sweet basil can stimulate a person’s sex drive while boosting fertility.
Salmon-This fish dish is full of Omega 3 fatty acids that are known to increase testosterone production and help blood circulation.
Eggs- Eggs are rich in vitamins B5 and B6 that have proved to have a positive impact on testosterone production.
Chocolate-Don’t skip dessert! Cocoa beans found in chocolate are known to increase endorphins level in women. The release of endorphins also causes a release of sex hormones.
This is a menu that may help put the spark back into a relationship on Valentine’s night for any couple wishing for a romantic evening.
