How Junk Food Affects Your Sex Life

Having an enhanced libido could be as simple as eliminating junk food from your plate and eating healthier.

Your diet can be a key to improving sexual performance, according to health experts.

Inflammation

As it turns out, a bad diet can increase inflammation. Inflammation is known to be a root cause of many
diseases and can affect hormone production.

Foods that increase inflammation include refined carbohydrates, sugar, trans fats, conventional meat and soybean, and corn oil.

Foods that reduce inflammation are things like blueberries, salmon, green vegetables, coconut oil, turmeric, and walnuts.

Testosterone

Low testosterone levels are a big problem with sexual performance.

Switching snacks and meats can help naturally raise levels.

Brazilian nuts, wild-caught fish like halibut, or tuna can add the mineral selenium to your body.

Selenium helps the body react better to stress and keeps T-levels up.

Lean proteins, which have zinc, also help in testosterone production.

Other great sources for zinc include sunflower and pumpkin seeds and grass-fed meat.

Circulation

Bad circulation can affect how long you can go in the bedroom and other ED issues.

Exercise helps but making diet changes can also improve your blood flow.

Eat refined oils like olive oil, coconut oil, and butter.

Don’t over-salt foods. Salt can make importance worse.

Also, eat more potassium and avoid things like processed meats, frozen meals, fast foods, and a lot of condiments.

Other Foods that Affect Libido

Experts have long stressed avoiding processed sugar.

They can zap you of energy, reducing libido.

The problem with sugar is they put you on an immediate high only to crash later.

A little caffeine has been proven to help sperm performance but too much caffeine will affect sexual
performance because it increases anxiety.

Some wine may set the mood, but overindulgence in alcohol can also cause inflammation and fatigue.

Switching some things in your diet may be hard but your partner will be thanking you later.
