\"Valentines

Shona explains “Figs have long been considered stimulants of fertility, in days gone-by. They also help secretion of pheromones. So, get set for feeling the love vibe eat 2-3 before getting down and dirty. Try adding to salads, stirring in to yoghurt, or simply eat on their own! Figs are high in amino acids, which help increase libido and boost sexual stamina.”<\/p>\n

\"Valentines

For healthy sexual function (for both men and women). Shona advises “Go for raw oysters to boost dopamine hormone production, which in turn, increases the libido in both men and women.\u00a0 Other zinc-rich foods include cereals, beans and pulses. And, although a healthy testosterone production is vital for both men and women, it\u2019s also a major component of sexual desire!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Bedroom B Booster<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Up your B vitamins intake; they regulate your sex organs and sex hormones produced. Shona says \u2018\u2019The amount of vitamin B in the body correlates with the amount of sex hormones released. Any deficiencies can lead to lethargy and fatigue, so meaning more sleep and less sex! They also play a vital role to reduce anxiety; if you\u2019re anxious, your sexual desire can be diminished. They help increase energy levels and improve blood flow which is necessary for a good, healthy sex life!” Try Quest\u2019s new Mega B Complex, and all good health stores.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Hit<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eating chocolate leads to higher levels of desire, arousal, and sexual satisfaction. Chocolate contains a compound called phenylethylamine (PEA), which releases the same mood-altering endorphins that flood our bodies during sex and intensify feelings of attraction.<\/p>\n

Go wild for Ginseng<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shona says, \u2018Research found that women, who took ginseng as a supplement, found their libido increased quite dramatically in a month, which in turn, improved their overall sex life! If you can\u2019t bear the thought of adding it (fresh) to your daily diet, go for supplements or sip on ginseng tea.
