Eating Regular Blackberries Might Drastically Improve Your Relationship

Black raspberries and their seeds are full of chemicals called phytochemicals, which have been shown to boost libido. Eating a handful every day can keep your sex drive up and running.

Try eating a handful a few hours before sex, and see if you have a little more fun!

Sweet potatoes are packed with potassium, which helps lower blood pressure and keep it at healthy levels.

In men, high blood pressure is a major risk factor for erectile dysfunction, and it is a general health risk anyway.

One of the main things that gets people in the mood is simply blood flow, and pine nuts are great for this. They contain a compound called arginine, which dilates blood vessels.

In the body, arginine is also converted into nitric oxide, which is found in many erectile dysfunction medications.

Turns out pesto is a perfect date night food.

OK, we know that when you think "sexy," you're probably not thinking "broccoli," but hear us out.

Broccoli is full of vitamin C, which not only improves circulation, but has also shown to boost libido in women.

Suddenly, broccoli doesn't seem so bad, does it?

You probably already know that salmon is kind of a wonder food, so it should come as no surprise that it's great for boosting your romance, too.

Omega-3 fatty acids are great for brain health, and really? Your brain is pretty central to sex. Omega-3s also raise dopamine levels and get you feeling good.

If you like spicy food, you might notice a little natural high after eating a spicy dish.

That's thanks to capsaicin, which raises heart rate and endorphin levels, making you feel awesome and in the mood.

Eggs are a great, healthy way to store up energy, which can be used for a variety of activities.

But they're also rich in amino acids that have been shown to boost circulation and heart health, as well as help with erectile issues.

A steak is a treat, and treating yourself always feels sexy. But it's also good for your libido.

Red meat, especially the grass-fed variety, is rich with zinc, which boosts testosterone levels in both men and women, and reduces the body's production of prolactin, a hormone that can diminish sex drive.

Zinc is also found in famously libido-enhancing oysters.

Figs have long been considered a sensual food. They're also full of vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, and more zinc.

Legend has it that Cleopatra, quite the sex symbol in her day, was very fond of figs, and they were associated with fertility in ancient Greece.

Asparagus, like broccoli, might not be the food we most associate with sexiness, but it happens to have a lot of folate, one of the B vitamins that helps your body produce histamine.

You might associate histamine with allergies, but it does much more, including encouraging sex drives in both men and women.

Like salmon, almonds are full of omega-3s, and they're also full of selenium and zinc. You already know zinc is good for your sex life, but selenium is a major player when it comes to reproductive health.

In fact, almonds are an ancient symbol of fertility.

The ancient Romans used beets as an aphrodisiac, and they were actually onto something.

Beets contain boron, a mineral which is used in the production of sex hormones in humans. They're also full of betaine and tryptophan (the stuff found in turkey), which serve to relax the body and mind, and get you in a good mood.

The Romans also really loved their arugula, not only for its bitter, spicy flavor, but also for being packed with all kinds of vitamins and minerals.

Its powers of libido-boosting were so well-known that Roman poet Virgil celebrated it in a poem, and in the Middle Ages, monasteries would forbid it being grown in their gardens.

Scientists at the University of Hawaii found that besides ginseng's other mental and physical health benefits, it's also great for sex life.

In the study, people who took a ginseng supplement daily found that their libidos had increased after a month, and 68 percent said their sex lives had improved in general.

Look for an all-natural ginseng tea or supplement.

Watermelon isn't only a delicious summertime treat, but it's also great for your circulation thanks to a substance called citrulline amino acid, which relaxes the blood vessels and increases circulation.
