Seven Foods that reduce your Sex Drive!

Of course the first reaction that pops up when you read the topic is “Why would anyone want to reduce his or her libido?” Well, If you think about it for a few minutes you will realise that there are a couple of reasons why this information may be useful to you. After all, prevention is better than cure and safer is better than sorry.  If you get the hint, then read on!

Soy Sauce

“Some soy sauce with your sushi sir?”

Believe it or not, some say Eastern monks believe that it keeps down the sexual urges.

Fried Food

What? But I love my burger and fries! Plus some good old fried chicken.

Actually, fried and fatty foods in general are commonly known to increase cholestorol which clogs the arteries.The rest is obvious.

We need to have the blood pumping to give some good loving!

Alcohol & Quinine

Quinine is the key flavouring in tonic water, which in turn is used to make my personal favourite, Gin and Tonic.

Apparently, quinine is commonly associated with lowering testosterone levels.

Alcohol is a depressant which can impair your libido when consumed in large quantities.

Mint

This is pretty obvious! Brush your teeth for that minty fresh breath rather than chewing on mints. A kiss may be the most you get at the end of the night when things aren’t looking up.

Licorice

Consumption of large quantities of these candy sticks may bring some hormonal changes, including reduced libido in both genders. The licorice plant contains phytoestrogens which have been known to affect the endocrine system.

Granola

I must admit that this is just but a theory that links its tastelessness to lower sexual levels.

Cilantro/ Coriander leaves

Coriander leaves are commonly used as a complementary flavor, however ingridients in the leaves can also reduce testosterone levels.
