The post A Salute! With EcoSalon’s The Box: Made In America appeared first on EcoSalon.

Need a little extra boost this Valentine’s Day? Add these aphrodisiac foods to your menu.

There are many ways to bring more lift to the love and the libido this Valentine’s Day. One creative way to do it is by cooking a Valentine’s Day feast for your loved one, only not just any meal; instead, one that not only tastes good but also boosts sexual drive. By the time dessert arrives, you’ll be ready to take it to the bedroom. These ten natural aphrodisiacs bring more flavor and fun to a home-cooked Valentine’s Day meal. Try your hand at the suggested recipes and incorporate sex drive into each bite.

1. Tomatoes

Also known as the “love apple,” the tomato deserves aphrodisiac status for several reasons. Its color and tender flesh alone are reasons enough to deem the tomato sexy, but consuming tomatoes is also known to improve sexual performance as well as calm pre-sex nerves, which can be beneficial for new couples who are getting intimate for the first time. The tomato also improves muscle control.

Recipes:

Spiced Tomato-Potato Gratin

Grilled Tomato Salsa

Chickpea, Tomato, and Egg Salad

2. Garlic

Garlic breath is  a classic turn off, but did you know that eating garlic may turn you on? Greeks and Egyptians have lauded garlic as an aphrodisiac. Other groups forbade the consumption of garlic prior to entering sacred places, as it was believed to incite passion. Modern science explains that garlic is effective in improving blood circulation and thus able to better let blood flow to the groin.

3. Avocados

Beginning in 200 B.C., the Mayans and Aztecs ate the avocado to increase their sexual desirability. It’s packed with fiber, antioxidants, healthy fats and vitamins A and E, making it good not only for you body but also for your skin and complexion. Because of its so-called “sex vitamin” — vitamin E — content, the avocado is also used to treat erectile dysfunction. The avocado is also high in folic acid, which helps to metabolize proteins and provide more energy. Additionally, it features vitamin B6, which improves male hormone production, and potassium, which regulates women’s thyroid gland.

Recipes:

Healthy Banana Bread with Avocado

Vegan Avocado Alfredo Sauce

Baked Egg in Avocado with Parsley and Goat Cheese

4. Carrots

In Ancient Greece, carrots were used as an aphrodisiac. The Arabs were known to consume carrots boiled in milk in order to boost their sex drive. Carrots  are rich in vitamins A and E, and when those two antioxidants combine, they positively affect sex hormones. Carrots are also effective in preventing weariness so you retain bedroom stamina.

Recipe:

Baked Carrot Chips

5. Chocolate

The Aztecs were the first to draw a parallel between cocoa beans and sexual desire. Today, scientists accredit chocolate’s aphrodisiac qualities to its tryptophan and phenylethylamine content. Tryptophan  incites sexual arousal by helping to produce serotonin. Phenylethylamine is a chemical released in the brain when people fall in love.

Recipe:

Avocado Chocolate Pudding

Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Sea Salt

6. Arugula

Originally from the Mediterranean region, arugula has been used throughout time as a natural aphrodisiac that contributes to sexual arousal. The Romans even consecrated the green to the god of fertility, Priapus. Science can back up ancient claims. Arugula is packed with antioxidants, which contribute to the health of your reproductive organs and increase libido.

Recipe:

Potato and Kale Soup with Parsley-Arugula Pesto

7. Asparagus

Aside from its phallic shape, asparagus offers more than its form. The vegetable is high in vitamin E, which incites sex hormones and lifts the libido. Asparagus also gets things moving down under by stimulating the urinary tract.

Recipes:

Asparagus & Leek Soup

Tabasco & Asparagus Quinoa

8. Truffles

The truffle takes the prize as having the reputation as the world’s greatest natural aphrodisiac, and as far back as ancient Greek and Roman times. Be it the allure of the truffle’s rarity or its unique flavor, it surely has mastered the libido. The scent of truffles is very similar to male pheromones and their amino acid and protein content ensure greater energy in the bedroom.

9. Red Wine

According to a study conducted in Florence, Italy, women who drank one to two glasses of wine per day exhibited a greater sex drive and sexual performance than those who drank less than one glass or more than two. The reason for this can be tied to the fact that red wine is high in antioxidants, and when enjoyed in moderation, can help you to unwind, relax, and increase your sexual appetite. Be sure to pick the right organic wine.

10. Ginger

Ginger not only has a refreshing aroma but also contributes to the health of the circulatory system, making the erogenous zones particularly sensitive and more easily aroused.

Peppermint Peppermint contains menthol, which acts as a stimulant. For women, this is a good thing. As one source writes, “The scent [of peppermint] acts to stimulate the physical senses and if applied on the skin produces a cooling and exciting sensation which makes the erogenous zones in women more receptive to sexual pleasure.” Sexy has never been so cool.

Cinnamon Cinnamon has been known to increase sex drive over time. It can lower high blood sugar which “restricts the blood flow to the penis.” This can’t help but be a good thing for sex. Just be sure to only add a dash or two – large amounts of cinnamon may be toxic.

The snow is flying and the fog is rolling in, so there’s no better time for getting comfortable between the sheets. But just because you’ve trekked inside with mini-icicles hanging from your eyebrows doesn’t mean you can’t heat things up at home. And there are many ways you can bring sexy back without turning to Viagra and unfortunate candle wax issues. Check out these ten tips to keep your libido cooking until spring. (Note: As with all medications, seek the advice of a professional before taking any supplements.)

Peppermint Peppermint contains menthol, which acts as a stimulant. For women, this is a good thing.

The post 10 Natural Aphrodisiacs for a Cold Winter’s Night appeared first on EcoSalon.

If you’ve got sex on the brain but your body’s feeling unsexy, put away the blue pill! You don’t need Viagra, you need food. (Just not potato chips.) Sexual health and energy is synonymous with a healthy, energized you. An active lifestyle, balanced diet and self-confidence are the best ways to get the sexual charge you need – but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few foods out there that can give you that extra…boost you’re looking for.

Maca

This Andean root is the first food that comes to mind when I think of sexual health and stamina. Just me? It’s been commonly used in Peru since the times of the Inca to increase strength, energy and libido – and modern studies seem to confirm it. Modern foodies consider it a superfood, and with good reason. Maca is excellent for balancing hormones and makes a tasty addition to deserts and smoothies.

Cacao

Always a woman’s favorite. Real dark chocolate (we’re not talking See’s Candies here!) with a high cacao content contains natural stimulants and wellbeing chemicals (giving a boost to neurotransmitters associated with euphoria during sex), plus plenty of magnesium which is good for the heart and women’s libido. A healthy heart means better circulation, and that means better sex drive. Melt it, pour it, lick it…

Chiles

You can’t travel in Latin American without hearing a hot and spicy joke about the size of a man’s chile. And if you’re a fan of picante foods, you know how they can make you a bit sweaty and excitable (mimicking the state of sexual arousal). Blame it on the capsaicin, the substance in hot peppers which releases endorphins, stimulates nerve endings and increases heart rate.

Cardamom

This deliciously exotic little spice has a reputation in its home country of India for being an aphrodisiac. I just think it’s got a wonderful, sensual taste. But there may be some science behind it too: cardamom is high in cineole, which stimulates the nervous system.

Ginger

The spicy taste of hot, fresh ginger tea will heat your body up, make your heart race and increase the heat. What more do you need to get it going?

Pumpkin Seeds

High in zinc, which is needed for testosterone production, pumpkin seeds are essential for the libido in both men and women. Toast some up, pop in a movie, oh, forget the movie…

Oysters

Cold, slimy: I always wondered why oysters have such a reputation as an aphrodisiac food. Some say it’s the shape, but I say it’s the zinc, baby.

Hemp

Whether you prefer the seed, the milk, or the oil, hemp is high in the Essential Fatty Acids needed to help balance hormones for a better libido. Whip up a hemp milk latte and cozy up to your sweetie for some kisses to get things going.

Almonds

Best when eaten raw, almonds are high in libido-boosting vitamin E. A very sensible sex-boosting insurance policy. Eat daily.

Garlic

This one surprised me, because we all know how unattractive it is to be around someone who reeks of garlic. But take note, allicin improves blood flow to the sexual organs, so just make sure you and your partner have garlic in your meal together and you won’t mind the way the other smells. You have to admit, for garlic, that’s a sexy picture.

Bananas

This suggestively shaped fruit regulates blood pressure, and you’d do well to eat one a day, because there’s nothing quite like excessively high blood pressure (also known as hypertension) to cause erectile dysfunction.

Pomegranate Juice

A very sensual juice and luscious juice (surely Nigella Lawson would approve), many think that pomegranate’s high antioxidant content keeps free radicals from interfering with circulation. Which would have a positive effect on erectile dysfunction.

Goji Berries

These superfood berries are considered a potent sexual tonic in Asia. They improve mood and well being and increase testosterone production. They’re tart, complex and intriguing – fittingly.

Celery

Granted, celery is not the sexiest food, but it does contains andresterone, which is the hormone that gives men a subtle smell that drives women wild. I’m talking that t-shirt smell, ladies. (Men: we like this.)

Ginseng

This high energy root normalizes hormones levels in both men and women and it’s been used for centuries by the Chinese to increase stamina and desire.

Ginkgo Biloba

Sort of a wonder herb touted for many purposes, ginkgo can be used to increase sexual energy and regulate blood circulation.

Guava

High in vitamin C, guava is great for the antioxidants. Kiwi and berries are high in vitamin C too, which keeps the sexual glands running smoothly. There’s nothing like sharing a cool fruit salad on a hot summer’s day”¦

Wild Salmon

Another great source of Essential Fatty Acids. Try it cold with creme fraiche, crackers, wine and a little hand-feeding.

Avocado

Such an amazing food anyway, avocados are high in EFA’s and B-vitamins for hormone balance, and folic acid which is good for the heart and gives you energy.

Leafy Greens

Eat your salads, ladies, dark leafy greens help your liver metabolize estrogen, and create a good balance of this hormone essential for healthy female sexuality. Sure, they don’t look sexy, but they’ll make you feel amazing.

Of course, there’s no one food that’s going to magically improve your sex life. The key is to avoid cigarettes and excessive alcohol and maintain a state of general health and wellbeing. You can’t expect to sit on your tuckus all day snacking on potato chips and be an excellent lover!
