It's important to be careful about what you eat before having s£x because some foods can affect how well you make love to your partner. In the long run, certain foods can also lower your libido, which is the urge to mate.
In this article, we'll go into great detail about some of the foods you shouldn't eat before S£x, according to Healthline.
1. Energy drinks.
Energy drinks generally aren't a good idea because they're loaded with sugar and artificial sweeteners, which may give you a boost in the short term but are very bad for you in the long run.
2. Mint.
Studies have demonstrated that the menthol in peppermint can lower testosterone levels, thereby decreasing your s£x drive. Of course, chew that gum if you're worried about having bad breath and a date is coming up. All we are saying is that nothing in excess is good.
3. Drinking excessively.
A glass of wine before s£x can calm your nerves and make you feel less inhibited, according to "WebMD". However, drinking so much beer that you are unable to take off your trousers without falling can be risky (you should be alert enough to understand) and a complete s£x buzz killer. Alcohol can also be a means of facilitating setting the right mood because it reduces a person's sense of inhibition.
3. Sugar.
Despite the fact that you don't put spoonfuls of sugar in your morning chai or coffee, sugar is actually present almost everywhere, according to Healthline. Blood sugar levels that are too high can have a negative impact on the gene that regulates your s£x hormones. In your liver, sugars like fructose and glucose are broken down, and any extra fat is then stored as lipids.
4. Foods that have been fried.
According to Healthline, eating fried foods makes you feel sluggish and lethargic, which is not a good feeling for intimacy. Fried foods are also bad for your waistline because they typically contain trans fat. A 2014 Italian study involving more than 700 women found that eating an apple can help improve sexual function, so if your goal is to be a dynamo in bed, you're better off swapping fries for an apple.
5. Canned soup.
Sodium, a component that can cause high blood pressure and subsequently cause serious heart damage, is a common ingredient in many canned soups. Furthermore, sodium can cause reduced blood flow, even to the body parts that require increased blood flow during s£x.
