12 Hacks For A Mind-Blowing Sex Life
3. Eat Your Veggies
We're all for introducing food into the bedroom, but perhaps keep this one outside of it. There's nothing very sexy about eating lukewarm spinach off of one another.
However, loading up on your veggies and leafy greens can have a positive effect on sex drive, some studies have found, due to their abundance in provitamin A carotenoids. The body cannot make these itself and so they need to be consumed through food.
Studies in mice have observed that if there is no active vitamin A present inside the testicles, testosterone levels drop rapidly and oestrogen levels inside the testes shoot up. If this is also the case in humans, a lack of the male sex hormone can lead to a drop off in libido and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that vitamin A is essential in the process of sperm production.
Some of the best ways to get your RDA is to fill up on foods such as sweet potato, leafy greens, carrots, beef liver, and salmon.
Happily, another side effect of stocking up on your carotenoids is that they give your skin a lovely, healthy glow that has been scientifically proven to make you more attractive to the opposite sex, and thus presenting you with more opportunities to make the most of your freshly minted, vitamin A rich sperm.
