Some foods are saboteurs of great sex, whether they lower testosterone levels, are full of fat, obstruct blood flow, or cause bloating. Find out what you should eliminate from the menu to have more passionate nights
Although bad breath kills romance, it's not recommended that you try to fix it with peppermint before sex. Menthol reduces the level of the sex hormone testosterone, which is responsible for libido. That's why you should avoid candies and especially chewing gum before sex, because chewing swallows a lot of air, causing unpleasant gases. They will certainly spoil the mood in the bedroom.
Tonik
Fizzy drinks cause bloating and gas, but the worst choice of all is tonic. It contains quinine, an ingredient that gives the tonic a bitter taste, and can reduce testosterone levels and even affect sperm quality, claims American doctor and sex therapist Jacqueline Richard. A better choice is unsweetened teas that lift the mood and improve circulation, which increases the chance of orgasm.
French fries
French fries are rich in trans-fats that have a negative effect on testosterone levels. Salty fries are especially not recommended for men who have problems with high blood pressure because trans-fats can make it difficult to maintain an erection.
Tofu
This vegetarian specialty is rich in phytoestrogens, plant substances that resemble the female sex hormone estrogen. Excess estrogen in women and men affects the libido and reduces the desire for sex, writes Woman's Day.
Alcohol
You probably already know that a glass of wine can be stimulating, but that too much alcohol reduces your chances in the bedroom. Studies have confirmed that alcohol affects the maintenance of erection in men. In addition, alcohol reduces sensitivity to touch, which reduces the chance of success in bed.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal in moderate amounts stimulates the production of the hormone of happiness, but in too much it has the opposite effect. It reduces sexual drive. In addition, oatmeal is rich in fiber, which can cause unpleasant gas.
