What comes to mind when you think of aphrodisiac foods? Most likely oysters since are the most well-known food to make you feel frisky. Not everyone can (or even wants to!) snack on oysters every day though. Fortunately, there are several every day normal foods that are easy to incorporate into your diet:<\/p>\n

Honey<\/u><\/h3>\n

Oh, the birds and the bees. A symbol of procreation, honey contains boron which helps regulate sex hormones. It also provides an energy boost which can be much needed in today\u2019s busy lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Dark Chocolate<\/u><\/h3>\n

\nThere\u2019s a reason chocolate covered strawberries are a popular Valentine\u2019s treat! A well-known sensual food, chocolate stimulates feel-good hormones and contains mood enhancing chemicals that make you feel more blissful and loving. And the strawberries? They are packed with Vitamin C which helps keep blood flowing to all regions of the body.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Seeds<\/u><\/h3>\n

Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, an important mineral for sexual health particularly in males. Zinc has been shown to boost testosterone which in turn enhances sexual health and sex drive.<\/p>\n

Avocado<\/u><\/h3>\n

This ever so popular fruit (yes, it\u2019s a fruit!) was used by the Aztecs as an aphrodisiac. Avocado is a great source of Vitamin E- a potent antioxidant that increases blood flow and oxygen to the nether region.<\/p>\n

Watermelon<\/u><\/h3>\n

High in lycopene, watermelon may have a Viagra-like effect as it relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation.<\/p>\n
