Summer, heat and bare bodies often awaken the senses. An increased libido and a increased sensuality which can be sublimated by a few “lashes” ingredients. Here are 5 summer aphrodisiacs to adopt urgently.
The sun, a natural hormonal trigger
Did you know? Exposure to the sun naturally stimulates the production of vitamin D, which has a positive effect on libido. Indeed, in humans, this vitamin seems to promote the secretion of testosterone, as some clinical research shows. In women, it helps to improve vitality and mood, two elements directly linked to sexual desire.
In addition, natural light boosts the production of serotonin, a well-being hormone that plays a central role in the regulation of mood and stress. So many key factors (less anxiety, a more stable mood …) that make you want to get away in the air!
Summer fruits, sense and hormone activators
Watermelon, often described as “natural viagra” because of its wealth in citrulline, promotes the dilation of blood vessels. Indeed, in the event of erection disorders, taking this amino acid has the effect of improving blood circulation, including at the genital level.
Another emblematic fruit of summer and beneficial for your libido: the fig. Rich in minerals (magnesium, iron …), it helps reduce fatigue and stimulate overall energy, a good point to please the other under the duvet (and have fun).
As for strawberries, it is the erotic fruit par excellence. By its sweet taste and its carnal aspect, it gives many naughty ideas. It also represents an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient associated with better fertility and an improvement in the quality of the sperm.
Seafood, welcome to give a boost
Sea fruits are also very good sexual stimulants, thanks to their high content in iodine and phosphorus. The oyster, in particular, is very rich in zinc – an trace element that would have the property of promoting the production of testosterone (a hormone involved in male and female sexual desire), and which would also promote the production of sperm.
Aromatic plants, allies not to neglect
Ginger has renowned stimulating properties. It increases body temperature and promotes blood circulation, which can have a direct impact on sexual function.
“”Ginger has a stimulating effect on blood circulation, but that would benefit women more, by delivering gentle warmth in the basin “, Sarah Pellet confirmed to us, dietitian, in a previous article.
Basil is also distinguished by its stimulating effects (renewed energy) and anti -stress. It is recognized for its invigorating properties, which can act favorably on desire.
The role of water: hydration conducive to pleasure
Water finally plays an essential role in maintaining optimal libido. Indeed, dehydration, even slight, can lead to a drop in energy, a decrease in concentration and an alteration of desire. Conversely, good hydration supports physical and mental performance, including under the duvet.
Of course, foods rich in water is also affected. Cucumber, melon, citrus … many ingredients integrated innocently into our salads contribute for this purpose. They are not only disal down, but also rich in electrolytes and vitamins, which promotes better circulation and a feeling of lightness conducive to pleasure.
Note: These elements in no way replace medical treatment in the event of sexual disorders. They can simply spice up your sexuality, in order to savor the pleasures of the season, for two.
