Learn the Truths about Aphrodisiacs and How Food Can Keep Your Libido Going Strong In Time for Valentine’s Day

(Chicago) With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there is no time like the present to get your mind, body and soul into shape along with revving up your sex life. More and more focus is being put on what you eat. New findings show that food can satisfy you in more ways than you think.
ChicagoHealers.com Practitioner Jory Adams, nourishment educator & lifestyle coach, is an expert on how to use food to balance out your energy thus increasing your sex drive as well as leveling moods. “To help us in our quest for balance, we must understand the concept of opposites. All energy relies on its opposing force to keep it in check,” said Adams, “The classification of these two complimentary opposite natural forces can be referred to as expansive and contractive or in the Orient known as yin and yang.”

Finding foods that are balanced can help contribute to an increase in sexual desire and libido. The term aphrodisiac is one that has been around for many years now and according to Adams , does have truth to it.

“A good example of an aphrodisiac is Champagne and caviar,” said Adams, ” Champagne is very high in sugar and expansive while caviar is very high in salt and contractive thus combining the two keeps you in balance for the perfect sexual experience.”

According to Adams , thinking of foods as expansive and contractive can help find the middle ground to keep people from experiencing extreme moods and behaviors that can lower our sex drive. Examples of these foods and how they can affect your body are:

A poor diet can increase anxiety and depression- too much sugar, maple syrup, milk, raw foods (expansive) can contribute to these feelings, while adding more beans, fish, fowl, meat and whole grains (contractive) will balance it out.

“So many women come in with questions about their libido and how they can increase it,” said Adams , “What they don’t know is that just the slightest changes in your diet can help increase your sex drive.”
