Foods That Will Sex You Up

January 21, 2011

We've all heard that oysters are an aphrodisiac, but did you know that avocados are also? How about arugula? And, yup, even honey will help you get your groove on. Below are a few foods to help woo your loved one this weekend.

Arugula or "rocket" is rich in vitamins A and C, both of which are essential for getting the body ready for sexy time. It's also said to help clear the mind, so if work stress is holding you back, make a big salad of rocket to help fire your  - er - rocket! Try this healthy Arugula Salad With Pomegranate, Avocado and Goat Cheese. For more "sexy boost" toss in some strawberries and use honey instead of pomegranate molasses.

Strawberries Sure, it's sexy to seductively nibble on this fruit while making goo-goo eyes at your honey, but strawberries actually contain more vitamin C than any other berry. They're also packed with potassium, folic acid, iron and other essential minerals that'll help turn that lackluster libido into a burning fire! Strawberry-Stuffed French Toast.

Honey They don't call it a honeymoon for nothing! Even Hippocrates prescribed it for sexual vigor. It's easily metabolized and is rich in enzymes, amino acids and B-vitamins. The sweet, golden nectar helps pump energy through your body, so get ready to buzz! Try these sensuously delicious Broiled Honey-Glazed Spiced Figs.

Avocados are another stamina and energy booster that are rich in folic acid, potassium and vitamins B6 and E. Try this fruit in a new way: dessert! Whip up a batch of Mango Avocado Ice Cream to enjoy with your sweetheart.
