Asparagus, ginger, almonds,
chicory, chilli pepper and garlic are among the foods best
recommended for sexual health, experts said Tuesday.
Urologists, gynaecologists and sexologists at Milan Expo
for a conference said 350g of asparagus and 15g of ginger a week
and 30g of almonds a day represented the perfect recipe for
keeping things lively in the bedroom.
Asparagus is rich in vitamin E, which stimulates the
production of male hormones.
Almonds are rich in antioxidants and Omega 3, 6 and 12,
fatty acids that boost male sexual performance and fertility.
Ginger also has antioxidant properties that favour
endogenous hormone production.
Chicory is a source of the steroid hormone androstenedione
while garlic contains the oily liquid allicin, which increases
the blood flow.
"Two cloves of garlic a day for three consecutive months
would help resolve problems of impotence particularly in men
with high cholesterol," the experts said.
The aphrodisiacal properties of chocolate, chilli pepper
and oysters were all confirmed.
The experts warned against coffee, dairy produce, alcohol,
fried foods and cured meats as being adverse to good sexual
health.
