Check out healthy foods that can do good for sex life.

To be considered a true aphrodisiac, the substance must be consumed orally, and must reliably increase libido or sexual desire within minutes.

Here are the top 8 foods that are known to ignite desire:

Celery

It contains two chemicals, androsterone, and androstenol which act as sexual attractants, of course, after you eat it. Throw it in a smoothie or make a soup out of it, I don’t care how you eat it, just do it!

Garlic

Garlic contains allicin which helps to increase the blood flow. It is better to eat it hours before you meet your partner because of its pungent smell.

Honey

Raw honey is packed with B vitamins which help support testosterone production, thus, increasing sexual desire. But, it’s also great for women as it also contains boron which aids in estrogen production.

Chilli pepper

Chili peppers also react with your brain causing it to release endorphins which are chemicals that make you feel happy and possibly horny.

Ginger

Ginger has a sharp and spicy taste which also helps to increase blood flow and body temperature. You can add ginger to your meal or a cup of hot tea, whichever way, it’ll work.

Coconut water

Coconut water actually contains the same amount of electrolytes as your blood. It acts as a metabolism booster and helps increase blood flow which is why people call it an aphrodisiac.

Oysters

This is one of the most famous aphrodisiacs as they carry a reputation for being highly effective when it comes to stimulating those who eat them. They’re incredibly high in zinc, plus, contain amino acids which stimulate sex hormones.
