Food Is Something We Need To Survive, but not all foods are good for the human system. This may be due to many reasons. Some food we consume daily reduces or may even kill completely Libido, but most people don't know. Here, we list top 3 foods that will kill your libido over time.
1. Oysters:
Oysters have been dubbed as the king of libido boosters, but don't buy into all the hype. "Oysters are a well-known source of zinc, which plays a central role in the creation of hormones and clitoris sensitivity, but they are also a toxic food," explain Gahns-Clement and Clement. You read right: toxic. "Oysters and other shellfish can absorb the toxins and parasites in the ocean, which can often outweigh the benefits of zinc," they add. Skip the seafood and chow down on spinach for a better high-zinc option.
2. Processed Baked Goods:
Yep, sugary sweets might zap your sex drive (sorry). "Baked goods contain saturated trans fats that wreak havoc on human cells, including the immune system," say Gahns-Clement and Clement. "They surround the cells, coagulating them so that vital food glucose can't be absorbed and remains in the blood, raising blood sugar and lowering libido. The fats also clog ventricles, reducing oxygen to sexual organs, and prevent the spleen from producing enough white blood cells, so eggs and sperm have difficulty multiplying," they continue. Yikes!
3. Dairy:
Ice cream and cream cheese lovers may want to switch to a lactose-free alternative once in a while. "The lactic acid in dairy and oxygen-destroying elements can squash a libido at any level", say Gans-Clement and Clement.
But don't forget dairy's best benefit: Calcium. It's linked to cell and sexual health, and when cells are healthy, they increase sensitivity for better circulation to the genitalia — thus giving you more pleasure. Instead of dairy, stock up on calcium-rich soy milk, leafy greens, sprouted beans, cabbage, broccoli, and wheatgrass juice.
