Tips & Tricks (An Introduction)

Toss a little romance into your stir-fry

 Love to stir up veggies for dinner? Add a little minced garlic, and you might be stirring up more than just veggies. "Garlic increases circulation via an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase, promoting more blood flow down there," says JJ Virgin, nutrition and fitness expert and author of The Virgin Diet. "Some people even consider garlic an erectile dysfunction remedy!" Simply toss your favorite veggies and a few tablespoons of minced garlic into a pan and fry up a sensual and romantic feast.

Celery? Really?

Yeah, celery doesn’t seem all that sexy, however it contains phyto-androgens, which is similar to testosterone and can increase sexual desire in women.

  Pomegranate (the Love Apple)

Known as the love apple, and touted consistently as a powerful aphrodisiac from ancient times to today, here’s another suggestive fruit that packs a punch. It’s high in anti-oxidants, so boosts blood flow, in turn increasing genital sensitivity.

Banana

It’s all about the potassium. While the phallic shape may immediately fuel passions, the potassium delivers muscle strength, so in theory intensifies orgasms.

Add Figs to Your Smoothie for a Tantalizing Treat

 The fig, a tasty little powerhouse with a slightly sensual look, is packed with amino acids that aid in the production of nitric oxide which, in turn, relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to sex organs. According to Meryl Rosofsky, MD and adjunct professor of Food Studies at New York University, this increase of blood flow is essential for arousal, the lovely process of getting “turned on”. Dr. Rosofsky explains that the increase of blood flow to those very important organs causes erection and lubrication, and impacts all other facets of the sexual experience, from desire to orgasm. Adding two or three figs to your smoothie will ramp it up from a refreshing beverage to an erotic libation. Try a milk-banana-fig combo with honey for a double dose of aphrodisiacs.
