It is known that in order for sexual life between partners to be harmonious and to bring pleasure, they must feel mutual care, respect, trust, understanding, and acceptance. But not everything depends only on the feelings of the man towards the woman and vice versa.
For the increase or decrease of the attraction between them, even simple food or rather only some products can affect.
Folk tradition and ancient medicine recommend various foods to stimulate sexual activity, and in the wilds of the Internet, you can find enough information about them. Less often it’s food that kills the desire for sex.
British researchers published a list of libido-suppressing products in the New England Journal of Medicine
1. Cow cheese
One of the most dangerous foods in this regard. Dairy products often contain antibiotics and growth hormones that affect hormonal balance. With use, disturbances in the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are possible, and hormonal balance disturbances and related irritability, poor sleep, and chronic fatigue lead to a decrease in sexual desire.
2. Soy
This herbal analog of the female sex hormone estrogen is also a leader among anti-aphrodisiacs. Being stronger than testosterone, it is able to push it out of the male body. That is why the representatives of the stronger sex, who want to have a constant desire for sex, should replace soy with meat
3. Monosodium glutamate
Flavor enhancer is among the most harmful compounds. In nature, it is found in bound form in meat, fish, vegetables, and grain products, and in free form – in tomatoes, milk, potatoes, soy sauce, and many kinds of cheese It is artificially produced as a food additive, also known as E6212, by bacterial fermentation, using the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamic and sugar, molasses or starch as a fermentation substrate. According to doctors, its widespread use contributes to the development of depression, cardiovascular and cognitive problems. Inadequate work of the brain and vascular system will definitely lower sexual desire.
4. Chips
This food is cooked at very high temperatures, with repeated use of the fat. During the thermal impact, compounds are released that affect tissues, cells and the hormone regulation system, and caresses do not lead to excitement. The energy needed for the sexual experience goes into processing it
5. Mint
The aromatic spice lowers testosterone in the blood and negatively affects sexual desire
6. Coffee
Lovers of the pleasant drink will not like the following words. It is generally believed that a cup of coffee tones raises the mood and concentrates the forces. Researchers have found that people who regularly drink more than three cups are damaging their adrenal glands. These glands produce stress hormones and over time their function decreases, and this also affects sex hormones
7. Sweet and carbonated drinks
They affect genes, increase weight, and carry the risk of diabetes, tooth decay, immobility, and thinning of bone tissue – factors associated with low libido
8. Alcohol
It is a common misconception that there are no better means of relaxation and release, but abuse leads to serious behavioral problems, impotence in men, and a lack of desire for physical intimacy in women
9. Cornflakes
Light and healthy for breakfast, but not suitable for a romantic evening because of carbohydrates and grain, which reduce the libido
10. Energy drinks
They are loaded with sugar and all sorts of chemicals like sweeteners and colorings. After a brief burst of energy, fatigue, and apathy follow.
If you don’t want to reduce or lose your sex drive, forget about Pippi Longstocking’s beloved black licorice candies, which contain a natural sweetener derived from licorice root (a natural testosterone reducer), for the otherwise very healthy broccoli and beans plants that cause flatulence, for semi-finished products, canned food, fast food, French fries.
