In this interview video, Dr. Perricone tells us how to spice up our love life with natural foods.
In case you have difficulty understanding the British accents of the lovely interviewers, Terri Seymour and Renee Bargh, or the 90-mile an hour speech of Dr. Perricone, here are the 10 foods he recommends and how they help:
1. Watermelon – quick-acting libido stimulant;
2. Oysters – zinc helps the body synthesize testosterone which raises the sex drive in both men and women over time; in the short term, it causes the release of dopamine – a pleasure neurotransmitter:
3. Peanuts – the amino acid arginine increases blood flow to the sex organs;
4. Blueberries – increase dopamine and also benefit skin and brain;
5. Dark chocolate (60% or more cocoa) – increases levels of phenylethylamine, a neurotransmitter which stimulates hormones to create positive feelings and help us feel more loving; also great for heart health and its high levels of antioxidants;
6. Pumpkin seeds – EFAs increase brain power; serotonin helps us relax; and zinc increases libido;
7. Salmon – EFAs
8. Asparagus – increases levels of histamine which dilates the capillaries to improve blood flow;
9. Garlic – allicin increases blood flow by supporting the overall health of the circulatory system, which also may help in lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke; and
10. Avocado – EFAs.
The doctor says it’s all about relaxing and increasing blood flow, which are good things whether you’re looking for a romantic encounter or just to feel better in general.
