Since the earliest recorded history, people believed certain foods gave the libido a boost. Some foods got their randy reputation due to their sexually suggestive shapes, and modern studies have shown many to have at least some basis in science due to generous amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential to a healthy sex life.
Check out these five foods that can add zip to your love life:
1. Honey
Have you ever wondered where the word "honeymoon" came from? Hundreds of years ago, European newlyweds drank a honey wine for the first month of their marriage. The drink added vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants to maintain their sexual strength. As a type of sugar easily metabolized by the body, honey provides sustained energy. Honey also contains high amounts of boron that helps metabolize estrogen. Studies have shown it may also enhance testosterone levels. Honey spiced with nutmeg is said to intensify lovemaking.
