Diet that increases your libido
Words: Georgie CulleyProducer: Bianca Mastroianni
Sexpert Stella Ralfini has revealed the diet that helps “increase your libido".Here are the top picks...
The biggest secret is extra virgin olive oil, which is said to be better than Viagra at boosting a man’s performance, reducing impotence by up to 40 per cent.
EXTRA VIRGIN OIL
The low-calorie shellfish is packed with zinc, which is essential for testosterone production and healthy sperm. It is also key for female libido.
OYSTERS
Research shows that vitamin E-rich foods such as almonds encourage the production of sex hormones. They are also full of protein, to build stamina.
ALMONDS
“If you want to be an Adonis between the sheets then you need to eat natural foods to stabilise your blood sugar levels so you are always up for it.”
- Stella Ralfini
Snacking on dark chocolate increases serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain to  reduce stress levels, helping put you in the mood.
CHOCOLATE
The aphrodisiac veg has long been hailed as a natural libido-booster, with experts saying it can increase blood and oxygen flow to the genital area.
ASPARAGUS
Men who eat this herb could improve their sex drive by 25 per cent, thanks to testosterone-boosting compounds called furostanolic saponins. Try adding it to a homemade curry.
FENUGREEK
“The Mediterranean diet is guaranteed to increase libido, testosterone and endurance.”
- Stella Ralfini
Dried or fresh, the fruit has been used as a sexual enhancer for centuries. It is said to be seductive because it resembles a female’s sexual organs which, scientists say, helps arousal.
FIGS
The fruit is rich in amino acid citrulline and nutrient lycopene, which rival Viagra in their ability to relax vessels and improve the blood flow to men’s genitalia.
WATERMELON
Scientists say dark beer can act as an aphrodisiac by boosting blood circulation to the genitalia. The key is not to gulp but take regular sips from a chilled bottle.
BEER
It may be pricey, but when eaten it can have a positive effect on erectile dysfunction and overall sex drive in men.
