Need a sexual boost? Eat more nuts. A recent study found that men who added 60 grams — about 1/2 cup — of nuts to their daily diet improved several aspects of their sexual life.
A nut mixture made from almonds, hazelnuts, Pinenuts and walnuts every day leads to improvement in sexual function like sexual desire and quality of orgasms.
“Including nuts in a regular diet significantly improved auto-reported orgasmic function and sexual desire.”
Nuts should be a staple food in your daily diet. Try eating a handful mid-morning, tossing them in salads, mixing them with vegetables, adding them to cakes…
They are rich in Vitamin B1, which helps stimulate signals between the brain and genitals. In the case of men, a dose of walnuts means better-shaped, higher-quality sperm. And thanks to their omega-6 fatty acids, they are also recommended for men with prostrate problems.
Vitamin E (the “sex vitamin”) is also key for our sex drive. This powerful antioxidant helps combat early ageing of the skin and can be found in hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, peanuts and pistachios.
Not forgetting zinc, a vital element when it comes to libido and sexual performance. It boosts the production of testosterone and is essential for good, strong erections, an issue all too many men suffer with in silence. Pine nuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts and almonds are all rich in zinc.
The same is true of magnesium, which helps synthesize testosterone and estrogens and can be found in walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts and pumpkin seeds, among others. A good dose of magnesium is key to a healthy sex life.
