The 5 Foods That Can Ruin Your Sex Life

The qualities of aphrodisiac foods are always praised: that they improve sexual performance, that they help you have more vigor, or anything along those lines. But what about the opposite side? Just as there are certain foods that, in theory, help you become a master of lovemaking, or at least try harder, there are certain foods that are not recommended if what you want is a night of passionate encounters that would make the Marquis de Sade or Casanova blush. These can ruin your night, diminish your performance, or outright cause your sex life to be as active as that of a clam. Because we care about you and wish for your happiness, as well as that of your partner, we tell you which foods to avoid to not ruin your love life: Dairy The high content of saturated fats in dairy products not only causes artery blockage. They are also difficult for the body to assimilate, making digestion complicated, not to mention they lack minerals, which will leave you feeling sluggish. Sugar Excess sugar consumption causes energy highs and lows due to the release of insulin to process it, that ‘rush’. However, once the effects wear off the crash will leave you feeling tired or weak for your date. To avoid this, moderate your sugar intake or, alternatively, choose whole foods that, when processed by the body, will keep your blood sugar levels stable for extended periods. Stimulants Drinks like coffee or tea, even alcohol, can help boost your energy for a few hours. However, after that your energy levels begin to decline, and to recover them, you need to sleep. Nobody wants to fall asleep before the party, right? Meat Ironically, before indulging in the pleasures of meat, you should try not to consume it. This is because red meat digests very, very slowly as it is difficult for the human body to process. What does this cause? Any difficult-to-digest food stresses the body, which in turn causes the organs, including those crucial for sexual activity, to function worse than they would normally. One way to counteract this is by consuming, alongside that good steak, leafy greens like spinach, arugula, lettuce, or kale to absorb the fat from the meat. Junk Food Although they appear to be healthy, foods like granola or oatmeal bars, and even packaged juices, are actually not because they contain high amounts of sugar that will cause instability in your energy levels, leading to ups and downs, and frankly, nobody wants to fall asleep when you’ve already prepared yourself to stay awake all night. The same applies to breads, cookies, and pastries made with processed flours. See original article.
