6 foods that kills your sex drive

1 Alcohol

According to researchers, alcohol is a downer and
can affect a man’s ability to maintain his erection.
Since it affects both sexes, women, you too need to
take it slow. While all alcohol affects the liver’s
ability to get rid of excess oestrogen, beer is rich in
phytoestrogens. Its plant-derived oestrogen directly
affects fertility.

2. Sugar

High levels of sugar in your bloodstream can
adversely affect the gene that controls your sex
hormones. Simple sugars, such as glucose and
fructose, are metabolised in your liver and the
excess fat gets stored as lipids. Excess fat
synthesis deactivates your shbg (sex hormone
binding globulin) gene, causing your levels of shbg
protein to drop dramatically, and it is this shbg
protein that controls your testosterone and
oestrogen levels.

3. Plastic bottles

Throw away that spare water bottle you keep at
work. It’s not the water, but the plastic which is the
problem. Most plastic food containers and water
bottles contain bisphenol a (bpa), a chemical
component that is reported to have a negative
impact on fertility in both men and women.

4. Coffee

Coffee as we all know wires up the body system
and make you feels alert. But if you’re someone
who feels edgy or apprehensive after drinking
coffee, the caffeine could have a direct impact on
the time in bed with your partner. Increased anxiety
can often lower your sex drive.

5. Spicy foods

Heavily scented or spiced foods have the potential
to change the way your vagina smells and tastes.
This list of food and beverages also has on it
coffee, onions, garlic and strong spices. Try and
include more whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies
in your diet.

6. Chocolate

Dark chocolate has often been perceived as a
stimulant and is said to induce feelings of love and
affection. But there are types of chocolates that are
known to adversely affect and reduce testosterone
levels. Be careful with what you choose to eat. Try
always opting for darker chocolates.
