Beans, cheese, and French fries are some of the food items which are best avoided if you planning on getting intimate with your partner. Though we cannot always control what we eat, we can ensure that on the day of the date or the night before the date we can surely be mindful of what we are eating. Our libido is affected by a variety of factors such as stress, work, financial status, diet, and exercise. One very important feature which influences your s£x drive is your diet, which we can easily control over time. Before having s£x, endure you avoid these 3 foods. 1. Coffee. Too much caffeine raises your cortisol levels, which is the stress hormone. According to Nicole Kasal, a health and wellness coach and founder of Cleanse Culture, high amounts "make it more difficult for your body to relax, and lower your libido." 2. Peppermint. Bad breath may be a turn-off, but freshening it up might not help your situation in the sack. The menthol in peppermint has been shown to reduce testosterone levels, sending s£x drive plummeting, says Dr. Richard. Chomping on peppermint-flavored gum means more bad news, since chewing brings air into your system, making you burp. 3. French fries. Potatoes are relatively easy to digest, it's the oil they're fried in that can get you into trouble. That's because fat takes its time to empty the stomach, making you feel full and uncomfortable for a while after eating. 4. Starchy carbs. We all know junk food means an overload of carbs, but consuming too much can reduce your blood sugar levels, and that’ll make you super sluggish! If you want to spice up your sex life, ditch any carb-heavy meal like fries, rice, or pasta.
