Are you looking to spice things up in the bedroom a bit? According to newspaper Bild, specific foods can increase blood flow throughout the body and help you make yor sex life more than worthy!

Chili
The ingredient that makes chilis hot, capsaicin, can actually rev up your libido. Capsaicin promotes the release of chemicals that can raise your heart rate and trigger the release of endorphins that give you a natural high, which pumps that libido.

Nutmeg
You may be thinking, “nutmeg?” and that is understandable. Nutmeg is something of an overlooked spice. But, as it turns out nutmeg has many important health benefits and it can definitely help boost one’s libido in an all-natural way!

Chocolate
All chocolate comes from cacao beans. The Aztecs referred to cacao as nourishment of the Gods. Studies show that women who enjoyed a piece of chocolate every day had a more active sex life than those who didn’t.

Garlic
Eating raw garlic may make your partner turn the other way in bed, but it can certainly stir up your sexual desire. The heat in garlic is what stirs up your libido. Garlic contains allicin, which is thought to increase blood flow to sexual organs. This trick doesn’t work overnight however, apparently you need to consume it for about a month to reap its rewards.

Ginger
Ginger increases blood flow in sexual organs and warms the blood, optimizing the body’s temperature. Enjoy ginger in tea, soups, and smoothies.

Vanilla
As early as the 18th century, vanilla was prescribed doctors as a way to increase male potency. Surveys have proved that vanilla was rated as euphoric and sensual by men themselves.

Apple
Eating more apples apparently increases the research participants’ lubrication and sexual function, enhancing the overall sexual experience, because of their nutritional content.
