FOOD FOR SUPPORT SEX LIFE 

Have you and your life partner to evaluate the sexual life you both? What are the factors that influence the success or failure of your sex life together? Although it is not something that must be done, but it is very important. Why? Because sexual intercourse is one of the factors creating a healthy married life and harmony.

We need to know that a good sex life does not just happen. Various factors influence whether or not a sexual life of couples. The combination of good nutrition, regular exercise, and a positive attitude are key elements in helping to maintain sex drive and our reproductive system to always be in good condition.

There are certain nutrients which have the power to regulate the levels of sex hormones in our body, and some can even help protect our reproductive system from the potentially negative effects for damage.

For example:

-Zinc deficiency (zinc) can cause sterility and impotence.

-Caffeine in coffee, tea and cola drinks can decrease libido.

-Too fat or too thin can reduce libido and impair fertility. At a certain level, the body fat is necessary for  ovulation and menstruation, and when fat drops below a certain critical point, both ovulation and        menstruation stops. Meanwhile, at the other extreme point, obesity can interfere with ovulation in women.

-Negative thoughts and attitudes can undermine self-confidence, and it resulted in poor quality of sexual relationships.

There are certain foods that are not only delicious but also contain nutrients essential for maintaining reproductive health and libido. These foods contribute to maintaining our reproductive system always in good condition, helps regulate hormonal cycles, and improve fertility.

What are they?

Vitamin A: role in maintaining the health of the entire surface of the epithelial tissue in the body, including the lining of the vagina and uterus in women. Liver, eggs, egg yolks, cheese, butter and carrots are a good source of vitamin A.

Vitamin B and folic acid: Lack of both vitamin B2 and folic acid are often associated with infertility issues, and for all women planning a pregnancy should ensure that they consume a lot of foods rich in folic acid before conception. Watercress, chicken, fish, wheat, spinach, beans, cabbage, liver, oranges, avocados, beets, broccoli, and bananas are a rich source of folic acid.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C intake can considerably help in improving fertility, especially for men. There are tests that have shown that consuming 500-1000 mg of vitamin C per day can increase the number and quality of sperm produced and reduce defects. This vitamin can also help prevent 'agglutination', which is where sperm become sticky and not able to reach the egg. Fruits and vegetables, especially kiwi fruit, peppers, strawberries, guava, oranges are rich in vitamin C.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E helps protect the ova from damage. Sunflower, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, margarine, wheat and avocados contain high vitamin E levels.

Zinc: There is a theory which states that oysters are good for your sex life, because oysters are the food sources rich in zinc, and zinc is known as one of the key nutrients involved in enhancing libido and sperm production. We can get zinc from shellfish (especially oysters), wheat bread, brown rice, and dark green vegetables.

Selenium: This mineral is a very important to ensure the production of healthy ova and sperm. Brown rice and porridge oats are a good source of selenium.

Manganese: Metabolism of the hormone estrogen in women depends on manganese. Manganese deficiency will significantly reduce fertility in women. Spinach, tea, wheat, whole grain cereals, raisins, pineapple, and nuts are a rich source of manganese.

Essential fatty acids: Linoleic acid is essential for sperm production. Sunflower and vegetable oils and nuts contain large amounts of the linoleic acid.

Phytoestrogens: A chemical derived from this plant resemble the female hormone estrogen. We can find it in soy beans and soy products such as soy beverages and tofu. Phytoestrogens may help protect against prostate cancer and prevent tumor growth.

Antioxidants: Fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants can reduce the risk of cervical cancer. They neutralize the harmful substances produced by the body.

And in ancient medical theory, a person's sexual power also depends on the food they consume. Plum, ginseng, fennel, onion and garlic, carrot, ginger, egg, and eggplant are examples of foods that claim to enhance sexual pleasure.
