Food being a vital constituent of our life may have a serious impact on our feelings, emotions, and even on our libido. A wrong choice made at dinner may spoil the intimacy and the romantics of the moment with an awful odor or gases.
Not to spoil your date, feel full of energy and sex drive, you should better avoid eating the foods we are going to speak about.
Cruciferous vegetables
Even though they are very useful for human health, cauliflower, broccoli, and the other cruciferous veggies may cause flatulence and consequently lots of gas. Not the best company for the evening full of love, isn’t it? That’s because they contain raffinose, which is a complex sugar. It cannot be digested by the human organism as it doesn’t produce the enzymes needed for it.
Garlic and onion
The specific odor of both food products doesn’t leave any chances for an intimacy. The smell from your mouth will be just killing and it’s not very likely that your partner would appreciate your food choice.
Soy products
Soy products, for example, soy milk or tofu or soybeans are the sources of phytoestrogens. They may interfere with the normal hormonal levels of both men and women and cause a significant decrease in the sex drive. Low libido may become the reason for poor lubrication of the intimate zones in women and worsen the quality of the erection in men.
Dairy products
Digestion of dairy products may cause an increased production of gas and bloating. Besides, a lot of people are lactose intolerant and eating foods made of milk may become a real challenge for their digestive tract. Furthermore, they risk to have diarrhea and spend the whole evening in the bathroom.
Peppermint
It has been proven that peppermint lowers the levels of testosterone in males. Even though it may help to freshen your smell after eating garlic or onion, it may have a negative effect on your desire to have sex. A difficult choice, isn’t it?
