The food you consume can have a direct impact on your love life affecting your hormones, brain chemistry, and energy levels. There are a lot of aphrodisiacs that are available in the market that can help you to boost your bedroom desire and make you a big performer in bed.

But, are you aware that there is something known as “anaphrodisiac”? These are the foods that will really prevent you from having an enjoyable and pleasurable session. There are many times when you might have come across such a situation where you are in no mood for play but your partner wants you to rip him or her apart. There are even times when both of you lack the desire to have play. Hence, it is ideal for you to keep a tag of the foods that are responsible for low desire and also hinder you from having an enjoyable life. EHC brings you a list of such foods here.

Alcohol

Many people believe that alcohol is very good before play as it helps them to shed off their inhibitions and approach their partner better. There are even people who believe that consumption of a little bit of alcohol increases their sensual drive and makes them a perfect performer in bed. But, in most cases people do not stop with a peg and consume three to four pegs of alcohol that will prevent them from having an enterprising session with their partner. Too much of alcohol causes depression in you and you might even suffer from psychological symptoms. It will also decrease the production of testosterone in men. So, make sure that you limit yourself to just one drink if you have intentions to entertain your partner in bed.

Coffee

If you are a coffee lover, then it is better than you reduce taking a lot of coffee to become a good performer in bed. Taking 5 to 6 cups of coffee every day will cause damage to your adrenal glands. The function of the adrenal glands will be reduced due to excess consumption of coffee and this will in turn produce stress hormones. If you are under severe stress, you will be a total failure in bed with your partner. This can also lead to sensual imbalance. Hence, limit to just one or two cups of coffee everyday to impress your partner in bed.

Mint

Many people who are ready to have play with their partner would pop up peppermint chewing gums or even eat mint leaves to keep their mouth fresh. But, do you know that mint has a bad effect on your sensual life? Yes, the menthol in the peppermint has been found to be an ingredient that can lower your testosterone levels and make you a poor performer. If you feel like you want to get rid of bad breath and the foul smell in your mouth, try chewing a piece of ginger.

Soda & Cola

One of the worst foods that cause sensual dysfunction is sodas. Any fixed drink has to be totally avoided before play and must also be consumed in very minimal quantities if you would like to impress your partner in bed always. It is also responsible for dehydration, obesity, and dental cavities. So, make it a point to avoid fizzed drinks totally.

Cornflakes

Artificial Sweetener

All artificial sweeteners contain Aspartame which will reduce the release of serotonin in your body. Serotonin is the main chemical that increases your libido and your sensual drive as well as makes you happy. It is one that controls your mood. Lack of serotonin also leads to headaches, irritability and depression and you will never feel the urge of having play.

Canned Food

There are large amounts of sodium in the canned foods that will reduce the flow of blood all over your body. Consuming too much of canned food will also lower your potassium levels as well as reduce blood flow to your genitals. Finally, you will end up losing vigor and sensual urge completely.

Soy Products

It is important for you to stay away from processed soy products as all the essential health products in the soy are wiped away during processing. The phytoestrogen in the soy is said to be one of the foods that affect the hormonal imbalance in men and women and make their life miserable in bed.

Licorice

If you have the habit of drinking licorice tea, then you are well advised to substitute this tea with either green tea or even ginseng to have a better and pleasurable play life. The active glycyrrhetinic acid in the licorice will reduce the cortisol levels significantly. This will in turn result in lowering of the testosterone levels that reduces your sensual drive.

Processed Cheese

If you desire an active desire, it is ideal for you to avoid all kinds of processed foods especially cheese. The cheese sold in the supermarkets is made from cow’s milk. This milk has been treated with antibiotics and artificial growth hormones. Too much of processed dairy foods will result in the release of xenoestrogen in your body that will lower your play drive and also might cause sensual dysfunction.

Food or even the simple act of eating can put you in the mood for love. Research says that most of the stimulation of desire comes from the way of eating, shape of food, and our mind’s suggestion to stimulate desire. However, the effects of the above-listed foods can be detrimental to your love life and hence the importance of a balanced, healthy diet in maintaining your libido.
