Natural aphrodisiacs

Cocoa, seafood, basil – what to make for a romantic dinner? 

What are natural aphrodisiacs? These are specific food products that humanity has for centuries considered to be the cause of increased libido and fertility. How does such an aphrodisiac work? Due to the content of specific minerals and vitamins, they affect increased blood supply to cells (including those in the genital organs) or stimulate the pleasure center in the brain, i.e. the hypothalamus. 

A romantic dinner for two incorporating natural aphrodisiacs is very easy to prepare. Today, I want to tell you about products that you can all find in your kitchen and be able to conjure up a stimulating meal or at least a small snack, especially for your beloved. Happy reading!

Natural aphrodisiacs – what properties do they have and how to combine them? 

Aphrodisiacs for women are truly diverse. The most popular and easily accessible ones include cocoa, basil, bananas, seafood, wine, vanilla, and coffee. What properties do these natural aphrodisiacs have? 

• Cocoa, which can be prepared as a sweet drink or served to your loved one in the form of delicious chocolates, is a truly powerful aphrodisiac. Cocoa beans are considered natural aphrodisiacs due to their content of a substance called theobromine, which has an effect similar to caffeine – it increases the production of dopamine and serotonin – neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of happiness and excitement.

• Red wine is also a strong aphrodisiac – primarily, it has a relaxing effect and stimulates sexual drive. However, one must remember not to overdo it, as a state of strong alcoholic intoxication does not encourage amorous fun, but quite the opposite – it causes drowsiness and often irritability. A glass of red wine is worth serving during a dinner for two – it will aid digestion and have a relaxing effect from the very first moments of the date.

Romantic dinner? Only with red wine!

• Natural aphrodisiacs also include spices – especially basil and garlic. They can be combined by serving authentic Italian spaghetti during a dinner for two. So, if you're wondering what to make for a romantic dinner for two, opt for this Italian delicacy served with a glass of good red wine – culinary satisfaction during the meal, and satisfaction afterward, guaranteed!

• Nuts, especially almonds and Brazil nuts, contain many valuable elements that affect fertility and potency – including potassium and zinc. They are also an excellent source of magnesium, which influences proper muscle function. It's worth having these aphrodisiacs in the kitchen and treating your beloved at the beginning of a romantic meeting or... adding them to dessert during a dinner for two.

• A romantic dinner for two can also consist of seafood – it's a strong aphrodisiac, containing phenylalanine, which affects mood and increases the desire for intimate encounters. Moreover, seafood, like nuts, is a source of zinc and selenium. 

The best dinner for two – seafood

• Aphrodisiacs for women that are worth combining are vanilla and banana. Vanilla has a stimulating effect not only because of its taste but also its scent – it contains phyto-pheromones, so-called "love molecules". Bananas, in turn, are a source of bufotenin – a substance that improves mood and increases self-confidence. An ideal combination for a romantic dinner for two would therefore be baked banana with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

And you? What aphrodisiacs do you use in the kitchen to spice up the atmosphere during a romantic dinner?
