5 Foods you Should Avoid Before Having S£x.

Certain foods can limit your performance when making love to your partner and that is the reason why you have to be cautious with regards to what you consume before having s£x. Ultimately, some foods can also limit your libido which is the sexual urge in the long run.

According to WebMD, some of those foods you should not consume before intimacy will be extensively discussed in this article.

1. Energy drinks.

Energy drinks in general are not good since they contain artificial sweeteners and are full of sugar, which could give you a boost in the short run but are very harmful to you in the long run.

2. Mint.

Certain studies have proved that the menthol present in peppermint can reduce testosterone levels, hence lowering your s£x drive. Of course, if bad breath is what you’re scared of and a date is around the corner, do pop that chewing gum. All we’re saying is that nothing is good in excess.

3. Too much alcohol.

According to "WebMD", A glass of wine before s£x can calm your nerves and make you feel less inhibited. But drinking so much beer that you can't remove your pants without falling can be dangerous (you should be lucid enough to consent) and a total s£x buzz killer. "Because alcohol lowers a person's sense of inhibition, it can also be a means of facilitating getting in the right mood.

3. Sugar.

According to "Medical News Today", even though you avoid spoonfuls of it in your morning cup of chai or coffee, the truth is that sugar is hidden almost everywhere. High levels of sugar in your bloodstream can adversely affect the gene that controls your s£x hormones. Sugars, such as glucose and fructose, are metabolized in your liver and the excess fat gets stored as lipids.

4. Fried foods.

Fried foods are not only bad for your waistline, according to "Everyday Health", the trans fat found in most of them also makes you feel lethargic and sluggish —not ideal for intimacy. If your goal is to be a dynamo in bed, you're better off trading fries for an apple, a food that was proven in a 2014 Italian study involving more than 700 women to help improve sexual function.

5. Canned soup.

Many canned soups contain outrageously high levels of sodium, an ingredient that can lead to elevated blood pressure and, in turn, do a lot of damage to your heart. Additionally, sodium can inspire diminished blood flow (even to the parts of the body that depend on increased blood flow during s£x).
