7 Nigerian Foods For Stellar Sex Life!

How can I last longer in bed? How can I add spice to my sex life? Is something wrong with me down there? A ton of people ask these questions on Google every single day! A simple solution to your problem may be to check your diet. According to FOX, your diet goes a long way in enhancing your sexual performance. Luckily for you, there are affordable Nigerian foods for stellar sex life.

Here are a few natural aphrodisiacs you can add to your diet for a healthier sexual life:

1. Watermelon

Watermelon contains citrulline which the body converts to an amino acid called Arginine. What Arginine does is that it relaxes your blood vessels thereby enhancing blood flow and improving circulation. Erectile dysfunction may occur as a result of poor blood flow to your penis. And it’s Arginine’s job to reverse that effect. Report has it that watermelon is very effective in combating mild to moderate ED.[1] It also works for women. Women have said that it improves sex drive and sexual performance. You can include watermelons in your fruit salads, fruit juice and smoothies.

2. Garlic

Garlic contains allicin which can act as a mild aphrodisiac. They also enhance blood flow and improve fertility in men. Although there’s no scientific proof, people recommend taking garlic, ginger and honey to boost libido. Even the ancient Romans believed it stimulates the penis and improves sexual desire. Research has also shown that women are more attracted to men who eat garlic. For some reason, it makes their sweat smell sweeter. But that doesn’t mean you should dump a bowl of raw garlic down your throat before every date. Your bad breath will probably end your love story before it even starts. It’s best to include it in your food. I recommend using it for stews, sauces and flavouring meat.

3. Ginger

A study published by the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology showed that ginger can reduce blood pressure which is a major trigger of ED. Ginger also stimulates testosterone levels which is vital for men’s sexual performance and sex drive. Ginger contains nutrients like vitamin C, potassium and magnesium which are known to improve sexual health in both men and women. Here’s a hack: The stinging effect of fresh ginger can make your lips fuller, softer and sexy. And the effect is almost immediate.

4. Banana

This is probably the sexiest food on the list and it’s not just because of its famous phallic shape. Bananas are known to enhance a man’s performance in bed. How does it work? Foods high in the salt reduce blood flow to your extreme regions, making it harder to reach orgasm. That’s where bananas come in. It is packed with potassium which counters the effect of sodium, a major element in salt. Bananas also contain bromelain which enhances testosterone production. They also help increase energy levels.[3] You know you’ll need a lot of energy if you plan to last long in bed. Bananas sure do have a ton of libido-boosting benefits. Lucky for you, it’s one of the cheapest fruits on the market. They are great for smoothies, as garnishing for cereal, for making puddings, bread, cakes, parfait, etc.

5. Eggs

Research conducted by Baylor college of medicine showed that testosterone level increases in men who consumed vitamin D.[4] PS: Low vitamin D increases the risk of erectile dysfunction. And guess what? Eggs contain 8.2mg of Vitamin D which is about 82% of the daily recommendation.[5] Eggs are also great sources of arginine. And as I mentioned earlier, arginine is very effective in improving heart health and erectile dysfunction. They also contain heavy doses of brain-boosting nutrients like vitamin B6 and choline which balances hormonal levels and regulates libido.

6. Tiger nuts

By now, most Nigerians are very familiar with the famous tiger nut drink. Some speculate that taking a mix of tiger nuts, dates and coconuts, boosts your sex drive. In fact, one study conducted on male rats showed that these nuts improve sexual performance and increase testosterone levels. But we are humans not rats, right? No substantial research has been conducted on humans hence these are still considered hypotheses. However, generations of Nigerians have used tiger nuts to boost libido and prevent ED and low sperm count. Tiger nuts can be consumed in many ways. You can eat them raw, extract the milk or ground them and use them for bread and other baked items.

7. Coffee

One research conducted by the University of Texas revealed that coffee reduces the risk of ED. The caffeine present in coffee affects the blood vessels in your intimate area thereby improving blood flow. It keeps you alert and awake which is just the perfect ingredient you need for an awesome play in the field. Coffee also increases testosterone levels in men.
