Down the ages there have been many foods which have been considered aphrodisiacs; some are still considered to be so; but others? They are very common foods and not at all sexy. The humble swede is one of these and celery is supposed to be a natural Viagra type substance. If you boil five or six celery stalks to a pulp, then your man should be able to conquer any erectile dysfunctions if he eats them hot.
Oysters and other seafood allegedly have aphrodisiac properties, but could also be considered as figs thanks to their role in controlling pleasures andiated by the alcohol in their alcoholic juice. squid and certain other seafood allegedly have aphrodisiac properties, but again could be considered as fruits due to their role in helping to regulate the hormones of the body.
Magnesium is also apparently a very important mineral for sex and nutrition, not only for its stress reducing qualities but also as it helps to regulate various aspects of brain function. Indeed Magnesium is something that every body needs and without it the different processes in the body, starting from metabolism right through to the immune system, would be much less efficient.
Fruits also have aphrodisiac properties, not only because they make you feel good and increase your pleasure centre, but because they can stimulate the body’s sexual desire centre (mes) to a greater degree. Not everyone finds it necessary to eat fruit each and every day, but if you do, then it is certain that your sex life will improve, no doubt!
The main thing that you need to maintain health is to maintain a healthy diet, and fruit is certainly a great way to do this. Take oranges for example; they are rich in vitamin C, potassium and calcium as well as other goodies. Acai berries from Brazil are even claimed to be aphrodisiacs. Plus, if you are going to be hosting the dinner party, then it would be worth adding some ripe Brazil nuts, almonds and cashews, as they are believed to be aphrodisiacs as well.
Another very common food that is believed to have aphrodisiac properties is garlic. Now, garlic can be used in a variety of great sauces and recipes, but in particular it is a great egg-free substitute and tastes amazingly good with the addition of olive oil. And whilst don’t forget that egg yolks have a lot to offer, be sure that you speak to your doctor and don’t unfortunate dietary mistakes.
Nettles contain the mineral selenium, which is related to protein (our tissues) and vital to the development of the brain. Apparently, it can act as a natural Viagra type drug and can be used both internally and externally to help men with erectile dysfunctions as well as other sexual problems. In fact, it is often used as a supplement to give energy and power to fishermen and athletes.
Not only that, but it also acts as a natural appetite stimulant and is believed to make onions and other plants produce ” Hypoglycemic Agents” which help give a person a sudden boost after meals. On the other hand, clove oil can be used externally to help skin problems and it can be wrapped around scrapes and burns to help alleviate them.
It’s very good to know that food like this which are normally considered “Low Nutrition” can be a great part of our diet and make us feel better-not all of us live near a source of clove or garlic (metriculously grown).
Feeling Better
While some foods naturally have beneficial antioxidants, clove oil is also a powerful natural antioxidant, which is why it is commonly used to give title to desserts and other dishes. Clove oil is highly essential in Thai cooking and has been used by people for centuries in their cooking.
For example, we regularly add it to soups, sauces and dips – including the world’s most famous one of coconut chicken. Coconut chicken is not only one of the world’s most delicious dishes, but it is also extremely beneficial for our health and as such we eat chicken all the time.
Coconut Nutrition
Coconut foods have relatively high amounts of saturated and trans fats. These saturated fats are believed to raise cholesterol rather than lower it and are the cause of cardiovascular disease.
Trans fats are found in oils like coconut oil, because they lie above the flame of the fire. This causes trans fats to form in the oil and these then become the source of saturated fats in the body.
hottest spices and herbs
These are the hottest spices and herbs. These have a lot of anti-inflammatory properties and can help make almost any dish excellent.

However, recent medical research has shown that the real health benefits of many spices are almost always found in the old folk remedies.

How much does the quality of food really matter? If you eat food that tastes good, your life will be better. If you eat food that tastes bad, your life will be worse. The difference between good and evil is partly subjective: what tastes good to me might taste bad to you. The difference is also partly objective: what restaurants I think serve good food might serve lousy food to you. But if we stick to objective measures — measures such as how much weight people gain or lose — we can cut through some of the subjectivity.
