When it comes to “Aphrodisiacs,” there’s oyster chocolate in the west and leeks in China. Some people say “drink courage courage”, “a glass of red wine to deal with a man/woman. Some say it really works, others say it’s just a psychological effect, or a culture passed down from generation to generation. Food “Aphrodisiac” is mixed, the U. S. FDA has explicitly denied that food has “Aphrodisiac” effect, today we from the perspective of science and nutrition to the truth, let’s see if they really work? How exactly do they affect our bodies?
Raw Oysters: the most scientifically proven aphrodisiac food
Raw oysters are rich in zinc and some amino acids, which are rare in other foods, and both have effects on the body’s hormone levels.
Many of you are already familiar with zinc, an essential element in the body that is essential for cell growth and metabolism. Erectile dysfunction can occur if the body is deficient in zinc. As Dr. WJ Walsh, founder of the Walsh Research Foundation and a neuromodulator, pointed out at the annual meeting of neuroscience, many young men show signs of zinc deficiency. In addition to blood tests, zinc deficiency can manifest as acne, eczema, slow wound healing, poor taste, low resistance, and mouth ulcers.
It has been well documented since 1996 that zinc promotes testosterone and is effective in treating erectile dysfunction caused by kidney disease; recently, in a lecture at the American Chemical Society, scientists in the US and Italy have used their research and a powerful talk to demonstrate again that soft foods such as seashells can boost testosterone in men and progesterone in women. In addition, raw oysters, oysters, clams, and other foods are also rich in some rare amino acids in other foods, namely D-l-aspartic Acid and N-methyl-d-l-aspartic Acid. These two amino acids assist in the synthesis and secretion of hormones.
The advantage of natural foods over drugs such as Viagra and Tadalafil is that they stimulate the body’s own testosterone levels. So besides oysters, what other foods are high in zinc? Nuts, whole grains, legumes, and fermented foods. All of this can be obtained from our daily balanced diet.
But be careful, too much zinc can cause diarrhea, headaches, and cramps, and affect the body’s ability to absorb copper. Eating raw oysters all of a sudden can also cause diarrhea!
Chocolate: Make You Fall in love?
Thirty years ago, the New York State Center for psychological and psychiatric research found that two trace elements in chocolate do alter the body’s hormone levels, these hormones make you fall in love: Tryptophan boosts serotonin, which increases libido, while PEA, another ingredient, is also a stimulant, makes you feel like you’re willing to sacrifice anything for love.
However, there is no strong clinical evidence that chocolate increases female libido, and the study found that chocolate consumption did not increase blood levels of PEA. At the moment, chocolate is more about feeling romantic. A lot of processed chocolate on the market has very low levels of hormones, and it’s the sugar and fat in it that’s more likely to affect your mood, which can help you feel satisfied and happy in some way. Coupled with the atmosphere of the rendering and gorgeous packaging, many women are likely to be a chocolate lovely appearance, silky taste and sweet taste moved.
Leeks: lead to garlic and allicin
The Chinese chive aphrodisiacs spread from ancient times to the present day, but it is a kind of “aphrodisiacal food”. First of all, the Leek also contains zinc, but the content is very low. The slightly higher levels of sulfur compounds and vitamins were also not associated with increased virility.
But it contains another substance: allicin. The allicin content of Chinese chives is far less than that produced when garlic is cut and exposed to air for a period of time. Allicin increases blood flow and improves blood flow. Having certain auxiliary actions to sexual expression also can alleviate fatigue to a certain degree. But the taste of garlic may affect its practical use.
Wine: the body and mind can not be united
For men, alcohol can help reduce the psychological suppression of their instincts, known as “loss of control,” and boost their libido ideologically. But it reduces libido and sexual performance at both the physical and physical levels. Alcohol metabolizes NAD Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which lowers testosterone levels. And in the metabolic process, also can reduce the excitement of the human body and the pleasure that decreases sex brings. For women, some studies have shown that alcohol can boost a woman’s subjective well-being. There was also a positive correlation between blood alcohol content and “prolonged but low-intensity pleasure”: it was more difficult for women to achieve orgasm.
Alcohol can increase the psychological demand for sex, but to some extent reduce sexual performance, reduce pleasure.
Lamb’s kidney: Blood and urine!
Lamb’s kidney is more of a good source of protein for you. This “Eat Yang Shen Bu Ren” argument, or not too big a basis for the time being. Roadside barbecue stalls with blood urine sheep kidneys also need us to pay attention to food safety, don’t then not only aphrodisiacs would not be good.
Exercise: the best way
Exercise can energize you, and exercise has long been considered the most effective way to boost your energy levels. Not only does your growing body size and muscle strength and endurance make you more active and increase your levels of endorphins. In addition, research claims that couples who exercise together regularly are more likely to develop a comfortable couple life and a positive and healthy family atmosphere than those who sit together and eat potato chips and watch movies.
Finally,
1. Good wine has some psychological effect, but there is no clear and effective physiological effect, there may be bad things
2. The role of raw oysters has a certain scientific basis, but eat time to pay attention to hygiene, and be a careful allergy. Try other zinc-rich foods as well!
3. Leeks and garlic are poorly maneuverable in practice, and there is no clear evidence that they work. But allicin is good for you.
4. Chocolate is more situational, so if you want to use it, don’t forget to create a romantic atmosphere!
5. Nothing is better than sports!
