Whatever people may say, physical closeness and physicality play a very important role in conjugal life. The hug, the touch, the kisses and above all physical bliss, all contribute to a happy and healthy married life. For long, both men and women have tended to put the physical aspect of their married lives on the backburner after a certain period of time. They cite various reasons: stress, tension, societal and family pressures and many more. But they should realise that life without close proximity and physical love is no life at all.
In modern times, there is this urge to turn to aphrodisiacs to spice up the heat quotient. Various aphrodisiacs are available across the medicine counter. But then people tend to forget that there are many home aphrodisiacs that can work wonders. Items we use in our daily lives and if consumed properly can work wonders to make the love life blissful.
Here are some of those, easily available, that can spice up your life like never before.
Red chilli peppers: Well you will be surprised how this item works. It stimulates endorphins which in turn arouse you. Endorphins stimulate the body and make you sweat and increase the heart rate and give one a feel good factor. Also remember the colour is red, the official colour of love. So what are you waiting for… start taking one now. Both men and women can eat it. Scientists have said that three pieces of red chilli peppers in a day can work wonders for partners.
Strawberries: This fruit is also known as a symbol of love. Strawberries are used to describe close proximity between partners in all forms of life. But then there is a scientific background to the use of strawberry. Men should have at least five pieces a day. The fruit contains folic acid and Vitamin C, both of which contribute to the increase of sperm count in men. Hence the tiny seeds of strawberry symbolise the fertility factor.
Honey: It contains boron, which stimulates the production of estrogen and testosterone — the female and male sex hormones respectively. Three tea spoonfuls a day is the perfect dose for both men and women. Honey gives a natural boost to the energy. The tiredness after daily chores and job pressures disappear and bring about new vitality in the human body.
Chocolates: View any chocolate advertisement and you will see either a boy trying to woo a girl or vice-versa. Well there is a reason why chocolates are used to symbolise love. Virtually all types of chocolates contain a neurochemical called ‘phenylethalamine’. This chemical stimulates happy feelings like arousal and falling in love. So unless and until you are diabetic chocolates are a must in your daily menu. And starting from toddlers to the very old everyone likes to have a bite of chocolates. Don’t you?
Oysters: In India it is not too difficult to get oysters. However, for Indians it is more of a luxury food item. They don’t really eat oysters every day. However, it should be stated here that oysters have zinc, an aphrodisiac in itself, and amino acids. Both zinc and amino acids trigger the flow of sex hormones inside the human body and once that happens, the end result is known to everybody. So don’t wait any further, make oysters your staple diet, at least thrice a week.
Avocado: This fruit has 20 different types of vitamins and prominent among them is ‘Vitamin E’. This vitamin plays an important role in maintaining youth, vigour and vitality. The more you have it, the more zeal you will have and certainly will be appreciated by your partner. One piece a day will work wonders for both.
Olive oil: It comes packed with antioxidants and contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are vital in the production of sex hormones in males. It also helps in improving the virility in men.
