Enjoy eating dark chocolate
Chocolate that contains 70% pure cocoa or more helps increase dopamine levels in the brain. This makes you feel relaxed and happy and also helps you respond better to stimulation. In addition, some studies have shown that the consumption of chocolate has aphrodisiac effects and that it releases phenylethylamine and serotonin to lift the mood. So now you know, eat plain chocolate!
Eat a lot of iron
Having low iron levels in women can…
- negatively affect arousal
- produce natural lubricant
- have an orgasm
For this reason, try eating…
- more green leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage)
- red meat (in moderation)
- fish and mollusks (sardines, anchovies, cockles, mussels)
- pistachios
- legumes such as lentils
This can help us have all the iron that the body needs. But be careful, we should not go overboard in eating too much iron, because it can cause other problems.
Try the stimulating effect of essential oils
Essential oils can be used to treat various ailments, one of which is to stimulate sexual libido. A study tested these stimulating effects of jasmine oil massage, and the results showed that the floral scent helps to lift the mood and increase arousal. When applied topically to the skin, jasmine oil increases heart rate, respiration, and generates “behavioral arousal” in subjects.
Eat some watermelon
A scientific study from the Texas Center for Fruit and Vegetable Improvement confirmed that watermelon has unique properties: it relaxes and dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow to erectile tissue, present in a woman’s clitoris and a man’s penis. Watermelon is mainly made up of water (92%), and the remaining 8% contains nutrients where citrulline is found. Citrulline is a non-protein amino acid that is transformed into another amino acid (arginine) that promotes nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide helps open blood vessels improving flow and arousal.
Increase your heart rate with exercise
Exercise has many positive effects on our lives and not least on our sex life. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine revealed that short, intense exercise (20 minutes with a heart rate of 70% of target heart rate) significantly improves genital arousal in women.
In addition, exercising is a great way to increase our self-esteem and self-confidence. In addition to increasing strength and endurance, it will increase our sexual desire and improve our sexual encounters with our partners.
