I decided to make a small list of common foods believed to have certain stimulating effects, even though in most cases, their effects have yet to be proven. Nevertheless, here are some foods that are considered aphrodisiacs and why, or as the case may be, why not.
1- OYSTERS:
Have long been thought to have aphrodisiac properties, but very few studies have been conducted on the matter.
One thing that brings credibility to the oyster myth is the fact that these slippery creatures are full of zinc. Zinc controls progesterone levels, which have a positive effect on your libido. Zinc deficiency can cause impotence in men, so any food rich in zinc is considered an aphrodisiac in that respect, and oysters happen to be loaded with the mineral.
2- COFFEE PLEASE!
Is considered an aphrodisiac in many traditions but there is very little proof that it actually has any effect on the libido. Coffee -- like any caffeine-rich food -- stimulates the body, which is why it's usually mistaken for sexual arousal. SORRY...
3- CHOCOLATE
A recent poll revealed that most women prefer eating chocolate to absolutley anything else- including shopping. Chocolate is often associated with romance and passion, but there is no evidence that it has an impact on your love hormones.
