Top foods that will boost your sex drive

 Now that we've sparked your curiosity, here are some of nature's finest foods to spice things up in the bedroom and help your libido.

Dark chocolate

There is a reason why chocolate-covered strawberries (get some for your sweetie) are linked to romance. Dark chocolate contain chemicals that are associated with relaxation and pleasure. It contains phenyl ethylamine (what's that?), which can ignite feelings similar to being in love.

Bananas

Go bananas! This tasty fruit is not only packed with many nutrients, but it also increases male libido, due to an enzyme called bromelain. They are also a good source of vitamin B, which provides energy and regulates sex hormones.

Avocado

 Before heading to the bedroom with your partner, try dining at your local Mexican restaurant and ordering a side of guacamole. Avocados contain vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman's thyroid gland) -- two elements that will enhance the sex lives of both men and women.

Pomegranate

Over the last few years, this "wonder food" has continued to make headlines in health-related news. Loaded with antioxidants, this miracle fruit is a huge aid in fighting cancer and many other major ailments. So, it comes as no surprise it is a super aid for your libido.

Garlic

Don't worry about having that piece of garlic bread on your next dinner date. It may be hard on your breath, but if you both enjoy it together, you may be sharing something special later. Garlic has high levels of allicin (what's that?), which is known to increase the blood flow to your body's reproductive organs.

Granola

Morning, sunshine. Granola is not only a great source of whole grains for the most important meal of the day, but it may pay off later that night. This breakfast food is high in L-arginine (what's that?), which improves circulation. Evidence shows that L-arginine helps improve sexual function in men, which pays off for both parties.

Ginger

 Ever notice that strong scent and taste of ginger when you go out for sushi? Try adding some on your spicy tuna roll next time. Ginger is a powerful stimulant that increases circulation. And once that blood starts flowing, everything starts heating up.

Oysters

Oysters are considered one of the most classic aphrodisiacs. They have amino acids that trigger sex hormones. They are also a great source of zinc , which aids in the production of testosterone. So, time to go shuck some shells!
