Perfect foods before sex

Weight loss specialist Dr. Pavel Isinbaev revealed the ideal foods that help increase sexual desire without harming health.

“ Pine nuts contain a large amount of the amino acid arginine, a well-known nitrogen donor in the body, which is converted into nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and ensures blood flow to the genitals, which improves erection and arousal,” the doctor told the Russian news agency Novosti.

According to him, watermelon has a similar effect, because it contains a large amount of citrulline, which is converted in the body into arginine, which leads to the feeling of the basic "Viagra effect."

“ Broccoli (and cruciferous vegetables in general) contains indole-3-carbinol, which is beneficial for men because it lowers estrogen levels and thus indirectly increases testosterone. Testosterone is the sex hormone for both men and women,” he adds.

According to him, foods containing zinc can be included in this list, because zinc contributes to the synthesis of testosterone and directly affects the amount of sperm. Oysters, cashews, pumpkin seeds and beef can also be added.

He points out that dark chocolate and coffee have a special effect on sexual desire, because dark chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which causes feelings of passion, love and desire. As for coffee, it reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction.

According to him, to increase libido you can add olive and coconut oil , as they are rich in omega-3 and will be beneficial due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
