The Foods and Drinks to Avoid for a More Vibrant Sex Life

Although attraction first comes from and through the stomach, not all foods and drinks do your sex life justice. As opposed to aphrodisiacs, there are also foods that, while superbly tasty, can still cause a few problems you don't want in bed. To get your sexy diet on the right track, here are the foods and drinks to steer clear of.

Dairy Products

Dairy products are natural diuretics which is not good news for your guts and your sex life. Gases are easily possible to happen when you consume dairy products like cheese, yoghurt, and sour cream - so even if you are at dinner, avoid dairy for the date.

Alcohol

It might sound obvious but more than two drinks of alcohol can cause trouble with your temperament, and your ability to focus and behave accordingly. And if you are drinking, it is recommended you avoid coloured drinks and stick to clear options, like white wine or champagne.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a highly popular food in restaurants and menus, however, it can cause uncomfortable stomach crams, bellyaches and gases. The same goes for any similar food like cabbage, kale, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts.

Fatty Foods

Consuming too many fats can lead to poorer sex life, This is mostly due to the fact that fat tends to stick to the blood vessels. As a result, this may cause problems with the circulation and hurt your erection or stamina.

Hot Foods

Some may like it hot, but food that has a chilly hint is far from friends to your sex life. Salsa, intense spice, and hot sauces might be your thing and yet they work against your sex drive and performance in bed. They make you bloated, gassy and sweating like never before.

Sugar

Dark chocolate aside, which is a potent aphrodisiac we have to admit, sugar is not a favourable addition to your sex diet. Sugar is bad for you as is, and can raise the blood pressure, deteriorate the health of your teeth and make you restless when you don't need to be. And then you'll feel tired which will be a low blow to your sex life.

Sparkling Drinks

Sparking drinks just suck the life out of anything and if you can avoid consuming them, all power to you. Sparkling drinks also tend to make you gassy and give you those mood spikes thanks to all sugar inside them. If you don't want to set yourself up for a jittery session in bed, stick to water or perhaps a glass of wine.
