Avoid these 8 foods if you plan to have a romantic night

Imagine this scenario: you and your partner sitting at a table filled with delicious dishes by candlelight, with soft music playing in the background and the scent of flower perfume in the air. Sexy, don’t you think? It’s up to you whether this will be the prelude to a fabulous night or a series of awkward and even unpleasant events. Get ready to have the most romantic night of your life and avoid these foods at all costs: 1. Broccoli: yes, it’s very healthy and has many health benefits, but remember that to digest it, the body uses bacteria that produce methane, which could cause you to have gas (something you definitely don’t want). via GIPHY 2. Cheese: dairy can be a major enemy of libido, and it can also cause stomach congestion (especially if you’re lactose intolerant). via GIPHY 3. Mint: while it’s an excellent ally for fresh breath, menthol reduces testosterone levels, so forget about chewing gum after dinner. via GIPHY 4. Tonic water: in addition to inflating your stomach like any carbonated drink, the quinine in tonic water temporarily reduces testosterone levels and (watch out for those wanting to conceive) sperm count. via GIPHY 5. Alcohol: although one or two drinks might help you get in the mood faster, too much can backfire as it decreases sensitivity to touch and lowers the intensity of orgasms (ouch!). via GIPHY 6. Garlic: it’s great for improving circulation (and we all know that good circulation is needed for a good night of sex), but eating too much can give you not only bad breath but also a very strong mood. via GIPHY 7. Very greasy food: whether it’s French fries, fried chicken, or any dish with excess fat, avoid them as your body will require a lot of energy to digest them, and you’ll be falling asleep before the action starts. via GIPHY 8. Sugar-free ice cream: you might think this is a good idea for foreplay, but be careful, the sorbitol present in some ice creams can have a laxative effect. via GIPHY To have a great night with your partner, we share some dinner ideas.
