Foods that will help boost sex drive!!

This is the natural way of going about boosting your libido. Sometimes there’s a deeper underlying cause for low sex drive, but in the meantime these natural remedies should help.

Many of these foods improve nitric oxide, which is a gas produced in your blood vessels which causes dilation and increases blood flow. This would be a very alternative to something like viagra, which is known to come with a few side effects.
— ?? I want to briefly expand on what Cory said to give some of the science behind it:
1️⃣Beets: Rich in vitamin C, nitrates (precursor to nitric oxide).
2️⃣Watermelon: Rich source of l-citrulline, which converts to l-arginine for the production of nitric oxide.
3️⃣Figs: Rich in amino acids that boost levels of sex hormones.
4️⃣Dark Chocolate (particularly for women): Rich in phenylethylamine & magnesium.
5️⃣Citrus: Rich in vitamins B and C, calcium, magnesium, thiamin, niacin, folic acid. They protect nitric oxide molecules from damage. Vitamin C raises levels of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme that converts L-arginine into nitric oxide. Vitamin C is also a co-factor in nitric oxide production.
6️⃣Oysters: rich in zinc & amino acids that boost levels of sex hormones.
