11 Aphrodisiac Foods to Boost Your Libido
A fun fact about your favorite add-on at Chipotle: The Aztec word for avocado is "ahuacatl," which means "testicle." But besides their sex-thetic appeal, avocados also contain high levels of folic acid (which is v important during pregnancy), vitamin B9 (which provides the body with more energy), and vitamin B6 (which helps increase testosterone production), says Diana Hoppe, MD, author of Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You: What Your Libido Reveals About Your Life.
Not only are avocados supes lubricating (wink wink), but Silcox notes that their oil is one of the best collagen-saving substances on the planet. “An avocado a day gives us smoother, more moisturized skin (all body parts included),” she says.
As for avocados upping your sex drive, Tebbs says that, according to recent research by Green Chef, out of six popular diets, the keto diet (in which avocados are popular) was found to experience the most significant boost in lifestyle benefits. “More than 50 percent of people following a keto diet claimed to have better sex due to increased libido than those following other diets. The high level of aphrodisiac foods that can often be found in a keto diet, such as avocados and asparagus, could be one of the factors contributing to an increased sex drive.”
