There are foods that prevent you from having a normal, fulfilling sexual relationship. If you want to increase your desire, avoid or limit these foods as much as possible.

Alcohol

Many people believe that alcohol is very good before sex. Some people even believe that drinking a little alcohol increases their sex drive, but in most cases, people don't stop, and drink even more alcohol which decreases their libido. Too much alcohol kills sexual desire and male virility. It also reduces testosterone production in men.

Too much coffee

Reduce or moderate coffee consumption to increase libido. More than 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day can cause damage to the adrenal glands. The function of the adrenal glands will be reduced due to excessive coffee consumption, producing stress hormones. If you suffer from severe stress, you'll be a total failure in bed. This can also lead to sexual imbalance. Therefore, limit yourself to one or two cups of coffee a day.

Soft drinks

Soft drinks cause sexual dysfunction. All fizzy drinks should be avoided before intercourse, and consumed in small quantities if you do not wish to compromise your libido. These drinks are also responsible for dehydration, obesity and tooth decay.

Artificial sweeteners

All artificial sweeteners contain aspartame, a substance that reduces the release of serotonin in the body. Serotonin is the main chemical that increases libido and sex drive, and is the substance that controls mood. Lack of serotonin leads to a reduced desire to have sex.

Canned foods

Canned foods contain high levels of sodium. Consuming too much canned food can also lower potassium levels and reduce blood flow to the genitals. Canned foods cause loss of vigor and sexual drive.

Processed foods

Reduce all kinds of processed foods, especially sausages, ham, salami, hot dogs and deli meats. These foods are treated with antibiotics, preservatives and artificial growth hormones. They also contain fatty acids that can cause energy breakdowns. What's more, they are responsible for low sperm count and poor sperm quality.  

Sugar

Excessive consumption of sweet products is harmful to the arteries. Ice creams and sugary drinks cause blood levels to spike, which in turn considerably lowers testosterone levels. Testosterone levels in men and women are directly linked to libido and sexual desire.

Fried foods

Significantly reduce consumption of French fries, especially by men. This is good for sexual and prostate health. Not only do these hydrogenated fats lead to low testosterone levels, they can also cause sperm abnormalities in men.
