Want a better libido? The answer lies in food....


Watermelon: Currently in season and sometimes throughout the year, this fruit is very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is also considered as a good source of potassium, and a very good source of vitamins A and C. Its crowning glory, however, is citrulline, an amino acid that stimulates nitric-oxide production and increases blood flow to the male organ, strengthening erections.

But if you are trying to conceive, don’t overdo it! Watermelon, like tomatoes, contains the antioxidant lycopene, which is in the same family as carotene and therefore has the same beneficial antioxidant effects.  But it is also anti-estrogenic, so a very high volume may block estrogen and prevent the lining of the uterus from growing and the fertilized egg from implanting.” 

Chocolate - It shouldn't be surprising when a woman craves chocolate or tries to convince that it turns her frown upside down, not with all the libido goodness that is melted within this delicious treat. Chocolate contains theobromine -- an alkaloid -- that is very similar to caffeine. It also contains phenylethylamine, a chemical believed to produce the feeling of "being in love."
Bananas - The enzyme called bromelain is found in this lovely shaped fruit. The enzyme is not only believed to increase libido but reverse impotence in men. As an excellent source of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body's overall energy levels, you'll both be ready for an all nighter. Bam!

Garlic- Before you skip pass this libido strengthening herb because of its pungent odor, know that it containsallicin, an ingredient that increases blood flow to the sexual organs. The same sexual ogans that will keep the headboard knocking, but if you absolutely cant take the odor, buy some garlic capsules
Eggs -  Eggs are high in B5 and B6, which help balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are mandatory to a healthy libido. Before you go down, gobble down a few boiled eggs to step your game up.  
  
Liver - Nothing sounds sexy or arousing about liver, but with its good source of glutamine, a cellular fuel for the immune system, it is a definite  pick me up for a slowed down libido. Add it to your regular diet and before you know it, you're sex drive will be running steady.

Arousing Almonds - The prime source of essential fatty acids found in almonds are a necessity for a man's healthy production of hormones. While the consumption is beneficial to the man, the aroma is arousing to the woman. Light almond scented candles, spray almond scented room freshener, whatever you do be sure to infuse the room with almond scent and leave a bowl of almonds for him to crunch on.
