5 Foods for Awesome Sex

Don't blame your hormones the next time you feel like saying "not tonight honey". Blame your deliciously greasy dinner. According to Dr Rishi Bansal, a sexologist, the key to good sex is proper blood circulation. And to get your blood pumping, you need to eat food that is light, easy to digest and improves the blood flow. Here are five foods you should include in your diet for some hot action in bed
Spinach
Popeye propagated only half the benefits of spinach. Leafy vegetables such as spinach contain vitamin E and iron, which helps produce more oestrogen the hormone that ups sex drive in women. And it ups levels of testosterone in men which means more action in bed! So here's another reason t have your greens.
Nuts
According to Dr Bansal, high energy equals good sex. "And nuts and dry fruits are a good source of vitamin B3, which increases your stamina," he says. So, keep these handy on a day you feel drained out. Give these to your man too as they help increase sperm count. And increased sperm count invariably means more sex.

Garlic
"Garlic increases heat in the body. When added regularly in your daily diet, it has a positive effect on your sexual hormones," says sexologist Dr Mahesh Bhagat. Just…don't forget to brush after you have it. Spicy food helps up your sex drive too as it balances the levels of hormones in your body. So, bring on the spicy curries!
Fishy
Omega-3 fatty acids make your nervous system function more efficiently, making you calmer. A stress-free you is more likely to be game for action in bed. Fish also contains selenium, zinc and magnesium, all of which ups your sex drive. Include chicken in your diet, as they too are a good source of healthy fats and Vitamin B-complex that helps our system to release sex hormones.
Ginseng
Ginseng, a fleshy root has L-Arsine, an organic substance that increases the release of sex hormones during the act. It also gives you instant energy.
So now you know what to rummage for in your kitchen for some steamy sessions in bed.
