Aphrodisiacs
- Expression of Luv
Oysters
One of the most notorious aphrodisiacs, oysters are high in
zinc and have a reputation for being great for love and fertility.
Casanova, the 18th century lover who used to breakfast on 50
oysters, has been vindicated by a study that proves they really
are aphrodisiacs. The team of American and Italian researchers
analysed oysters - and found they were rich in rare amino
acids that trigger increased levels of sex hormones.

Chilli Peppers
This invigorating spice has an exotic reputation and a bright red
color, which could be why it's considered a symbol of love. They
have a wonderful attribute in their ability to release endorphins,
natural painkillers triggered to put out internal “fire.”
Endorphins also cause the high of extreme physical exertion —
a floating, energized feeling so powerful in its pleasure that it
can cause addiction to spicy cuisine. Very well attributed to how
you feel when you are sexually aroused.

Avocado
It may be the way the avocado tree bears its fruits (ideally dangling
from the tree in pairs like testicles!) or it could be the sensuous pear
shape, or the rich flavor of the fruit that gave avocado its
aphrodisiac reputation. Avocados have high levels of vitamin E that
could help keep the spark alive because of its role in maintaining
"youthful vigor and energy level." We now know that avocado
nutrition delivers a punch of nutrients essential to sexual health,
including beta carotene, magnesium and vitamin E, (which is
sometimes called the “sex vitamin“)

Chocolate
The very thought of indulging into a chocolate give a sensual feeling,
from its taste to its aroma, but dark chocolate has also been shown
to cause a spike in dopamine, which induces feelings of pleasure. It is
suggested that when someone's in love, his or her brain produces a
chemical called phenylethylamine, PEA acts a lot like amphetamines
in the brain, triggering a release of the hormones norepinephrine and
dopamine to create feelings of euphoria.

Honey
Have you ever wondered why it is called a "Honey moon"? If
you go back into ancient times it was a tradition to give a
newlywed couple a supply of Mead (honey wine) to last them
for the duration of one month. Honey is another sweet sexy
mood enhancer that you don't want to miss. Not only is honey
a stimulant so but holds several healing properties as well.
Vitamin B contained in honey raises testosterone.

CoffeeLet’s talk about sex and coffee. Coffee is a powerful
aphrodisiac, it stimulates sexual desire. Natural coffee makes
sex and sexual arousal a memorable one. This drink has a
positive effect on male potency and erection. If you want to
get stronger erections, try to drink a cup of good coffee. The
caffeine in coffee is a stimulant that ups the heart rate and
makes the blood flow.

Bananas
Bananas contain bromelain, an enzyme which triggers
testosterone production, and the fruit's potassium and
vitamin B elevate energy levels. Since, Bananas are rich
in potassium and B vitamins they are said to be
necessary for sex-hormone production.

Watermelon
The active ingredient that sows the seeds of love is
Citrulline, an amino acid that is a weak nitric-acid booster
that relaxes blood vessels leading to increased blood flow
when you need it; WHERE you need it.
