We've prepared a list of 10 aphrodisiac foods that will make your libido skyrocket. Check out!

We talked a few times here on Bella's Blog about tips to spice up the relationship. But know that food is also a key factor for our performance in bed (and making the moment for two even better). We've prepared a list of 10 aphrodisiac foods that will make your libido sky high:

1- Chocolate (50 to 80% cocoa)

Stimulating the production of serotonin, the main ingredient in chocolate, cocoa releases this substance that provides the feeling of pleasure. It also contains phenylethylamine (which promotes feelings of attraction), theobromine (activates the nervous system) and alkaloids (a stimulant that increases energy and libido).

2 - Watermelon

With bioactive bioactive agents such as citrulline that promotes greater blood circulation in the genital regions, watermelon provides relaxation of blood vessels, ensuring high sexual performance.

3 - Nuts

Rich in zinc, a mineral related to raising and maintaining good testosterone levels, walnuts can greatly improve sexual health and mood during sex.

4 -  Oysters 

Fresh oysters are an energy food that contains phosphorus, zinc and iodine, which are related to the production of testosterone. In addition, it also acts by increasing vaginal lubrication even more. 

5 - Pepper

Causing physiological reactions in our body such as sweating, elevation of blood and heart rate, pepper facilitates orgasm and is also considered a super aphrodisiac food. 

6 - Avocado 

With vitamin B6, very important for energy and sexual desire, avocado is a food that also has a large amount of omega-3. It is also rich in vitamin B9, which guarantees more energy and increases the production of potassium. 

7 - Banana 

Banana is rich in potassium, B vitamins and bromelain enzyme. In addition, it contributes to blood circulation, helping with vasodilation (for a better erection). The fruit also aids in the production of serotonin.

8 - Papaya

Great option to increase the libido of women too, papaya is estrogenic. The fruit contains compounds that act directly on the female hormone. 

9 - Coffee 

Bringing more energy to our body, coffee is a powerful aphrodisiac. It helps in arousing the body. But remember to consume in moderate amounts, as excess can have the opposite effect. 

10 - Peanuts

Without a doubt, the best known aphrodisiac to all. Peanuts are highly energetic, have vitamin B3 and niacin, which contribute to blood vasodilation. Food is directly related to increased libido, lubrication and energy.
