Food is a sensual pleasure, as it pleases so many senses at the same time. Morsals of pleasure, as I call them, tantalize the tastebuds, tease the tongue, seize the attention of the eye, and the aromas and frangrances tickle the nose. And there is an undeniable connection between food and sensual pleasure (Uhem, remember the blindfolded food sex scene from 9 and ? Weeks right in the kitchen in front of the fridge?). In this chapter we will explore the exoctics foods connected with increasing the libido, thus enhancing sexuality and increasing a drive to connect with your loved one. We will also learn how to incorporate this super charged sexy foods into your every day food plan for optimal health benefits (for example dark chocolate is connected to a release of seratonini the brain which increases mental well being, while blue berries are rich in antioxidants, and red wine is linked to decreasing the #1 killer of women today by a whopping 40%, heart disease.

Top Aphrodisiacs and Super Sexy Charged Foods that Increase the Quality of Your HealthDark Chocolate-Dark Chocolate Has Health Benefits Not Seen in Other Varieties, Dark chocolate -- not white chocolate -- lowers high blood pressure. Dark chocolate is a potent antioxidant, therefore it goobles up free radicals, thus decreasing your chances of cancer.
Fish-most fish is rich in Omega-3, which increases the sense of balance, and mental well being. Always opt for WILD fish, never farmed because farmed are highly toxic from not swimming due to confined areas, and also swimming in their own waste.
Champagne-this timeless bubbly not only tickles your nose, when it lifts and hightens your senses of pleasure. This is a drink of celebration, and linked always to romantic evenings and rememorable ones that go down in history, such as a wedding, or even New Years Eve. The Monk who created champagne, by mistake mind you, when first tasted it, ran out in a frenzy to the other monks in the monestary declaring "Come quickly, Im tasting stars!" He knew he created a tonic that would tantilize, tease and please for all time!
Mussels, Oysters, and Clams-For centuries, men have believed that oysters and other shellfish are natural aphrodisiacs. But, until now, there has been little, if any, scientific evidence to support that claim. A new study, however, shows that oysters, clams, mussels and scallops all have chemical compounds that release sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogenRed Wine-research has suggested that specifically red wine is the most beneficial to your heart health. The cardioprotective effect has been attributed to antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes.
Scientists believe the antioxidants, called flavonoids, reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in three ways:
-by reducing production of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (also know as the "bad" cholesterol)
-by boosting high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
-by reducing blood clotting. Furthermore, consuming a glass of wine along with a meal may favorably influence your lipid profiles following that meal
Recently, researchers have found that moderate red wine consumption may be beneficial to more than just your heart. One study found that the antioxidant resveratrol, which is prevalent in the skin of red grapes, may inhibit tumor development in some cancers. Another study indicated that resveratrol aided in the formation of nerve cells, which experts believe may be helpful in the treatment of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Which wines should you consume to reap the most benefits?
Researchers at the University of California, at Davis tested a variety of wines to determine which types have the highest concentrations of flavonoids. Their results concluded that the flavonoid favorite is Cabernet Sauvignon, followed closely by Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir. Both Merlots and red zinfandels have fewer flavonoids than their more potent predecessors. White wine had significantly smaller amounts than the red wine varieties. The bottom line is the sweeter the wine, the fewer the flavonoids. Dryer red wines are your best bet for a flavonoid boost.
Spices -- Chili, curry and all those sweat inducing foods are believed to have aphrodisiacal effects because they produce results much like sex would. Think about it; spicy foods increase your heart rate and cause us to perspire. So cook up some curry chicken and then give her a "spicy meatball" of your own.
Oysters -- Wow, I know you're as surprised to see this one on the list as I am (yeah right). We all know that oysters have been esteemed as sex aids for ages. Why? Well, it's possible that it's because of diets that were nutritionally deficient in zinc in the days of horse carriages and lasting marriages. People would eat oysters and since their overall health would improve, it would lead to an increased sex drive. So start shucking and don't stop till you feel it move.
Wasabi (Horseradish) -- While some people believe that Sushi has aphrodisiacal effects all on its own, my Japanese friends let me in on a little secret. Apparently, that green stuff that comes with it ( Wasabi or horseradish) is what'll really get you ripe and ready. So the next time you go out for sushi, ask for some extra Wasabi; it's a kick and will make your eyes tear, but you can make your guys eyes tear when you take him home and show her Wasaaaaaaabi.
Caviar -- That's right, fish eggs contain a large amount of beneficial vitamins. They are rich in phosphorus and are very nourishing to nerve cells. Their apparent aphrodisiac powers are reinforced by vodka. So get yourself into Absolut shape for the night.
Ginseng -- The word "ginseng" means "man root." So it's likely that ginseng gained its popularity as a sexually enhancing herb via its similarity to the male, umm, organ. While it is true that the root has a mild stimulating effect, like caffeine, there is no solid evidence that ginseng has an effect on human sexuality. But what the heck, increase your energy and your sex life will follow suit.
Yohimbine -- Taken from the bark of an African tree, yohimbine is believed to work by stimulating the nerve centers in the spine that control erection. Although even the FDA found their studies on animals to be positive, there is still no scientific proof that it works on human beings. But some gentlemen swear by yohimbine and like I always say; if it's good for the goose, then slip on a condom and give it to the gander.
Spanish Fly -- We have all heard about this little fly that can bring us to immeasurable sexual heights, but do you really know what Spanish fly is? It's a bright green blister beetle from Southern Europe. The fly, or cantharides, is made from dried beetle remains and can be one of the most dangerous aphrodisiacs on the market. The sexual excitement initializes from the irritation to the urinary and genital tracts and results in a rush of blood to the sex organs. My suggestion -- keep away from The Fly.
