Health.com lists some of the food ingredients that are not only historically considered to be aphrodisiacs, but have modern-day science backing up their claims:
- Avocados
Avocados are rich in heart-healthy fats, and anything that keeps your heart beating strong helps keep blood flowing to the right places.
- Almonds
Almonds are nutrient-dense and rich in trace minerals that are important for sexual health and reproduction, such as zinc, selenium, and vitamin E.
- Strawberries
Strawberries are an excellent source of folic acid, a B vitamin that helps ward off birth defects and may also be tied to higher sperm counts.
- Seafood
Oysters are one of the best sources of zinc, and oily fish like wild salmon and herring contain heart-healthy omega-3 fats.
- Arugula
Arugula contains trace minerals and antioxidants that block absorption of environmental contaminants thought to negatively impact your libido.
- Figs
Figs contain fiber, which is important for heart health.
- Citrus
Any citrus fruit is rich antioxidants, vitamin C, and folic acid, all of which are essential for men’s reproductive health.
