Start with the workout because this will increase circulation and create more blood flow to your extremities and your “working parts”. Exercising right before eating can also support nutrient partitioning of the calories you consumed to be stored in muscle rather than fat.

Foods that Feed Your Sexual Appetite:

Now let’s look at the Fantastic 4 Foods for Sexual Fitness.

Oysters

Oysters have been a favorite of food lovers and romantics throughout the centuries. When Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, sprang forth from the sea on an oyster shell and promptly gave birth to Eros, the word “aphrodisiac” was born. The famous lover Casanova also started his evening meal by eating dozens of oysters.

It’s a long-standing belief that eating oysters, especially raw, will increase your libido. Oysters may have gained their reputation at a time when their contribution of vitamins and minerals to nutritionally deficient diets of the day could improve overall health, and so led to an increased sex drive.

Oysters do contain dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps to govern brain activity and influence sexual desire in men and women. The passion produced from raw oysters, some have suggested, is linked to high levels of zinc, complex sugars and proteins.

Avocados

Avocado’s are also great for our sex drive but are not commonly recognized for this. The Avocado contains high levels of folic acid which aids in metabolizing protein and increasing energy. It also contains plenty of healthy fats and high levels of vitamin B6 which give you the energy to keep going and may help with the production of testosterone. They are also known to benefit a women’s libido due to the high potassium content.

Dark Chocolate

There’s something special about chocolate; something beyond taste. As the medical reviews keep coming in, there’s evidence that chocolate may have several benefits, from the libido to heart health.

A recent Italian study has found an association between eating chocolate and sexual fulfillment. Women who love chocolate, it shows, seem to have better love lives. That comes on top of earlier research that chocolate (at least dark chocolate) may be good for your heart.

Red Wine

Researchers concluded that levels of sexual desire were higher in women who were moderate drinkers of red wine than in their counterparts who preferred other alcoholic beverages. One theory put forward by the team of Italian doctors who carried out the study is that chemical compounds found in red wine may improve sexual functioning by increasing blood flow to key areas of the body. Just remember the key is “moderation”!
